Scion Ferry Also Roxyâs the Vote
Monday, May 09, 2005
Unfortunately, Brian Eno didnât rise to the challenge with an adequate campaign bleep for Reg Keys and the Right Honourable Tony Blair was returned with a landslide. (Blairâs campaign song, as it happens, was the Eno-produced U2 song âBeautiful Dayâ.) But Eno wasnât the only person connected to Roxy Music trying to give the Prime Minister grief.
Otis Ferry, son of Bryan, by all reports a bigger knob-twiddler than Eno and Blair put together, is dirty with the Prime Minister on account of the outlawing of fox hunting. He was arrested for lunging at the newly re-elected PM.
While the return of Blair to No. 10 Downing street might not bode well for Otisâs cause, at least there is a bright side: another term of Jon Culshawâs impressions of the PM on Dead Ringers.
Have a listen to Blairâs victory speech.
