[LEN-E] Bryan Ferry and Leni

[Thomas Köhler]

Hi all,

a curious bit of news:  ageing pop-music dandy Bryan Ferry  (of Roxy Music
fame) seems to have gotten himself into quite a bit of  trouble recently by
mentioning his fascination for the art and aesthetics of both Leni and
Albert Speer in an interview with a German newspaper. He also pointed out
apparently that he secretly calls his studio the 'Führerbunker'... Well, if
the latter sounds indeed a little tasteless, the international reactions
about his statements concerning the attraction of Leni's art seem both
somewhat exagerrated but not unsurprising to me....

Read a summary of the story here:

There's also an official statement and apology on Ferry's own site (news
section):

Enjoy :-)
