No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Phil Manzanera.

Phil Manzanera was the only posh member of Roxy [Music]…Manzanera had enjoyed a cosmopolitan youth flitting between various South American countries and his boarding school in London…”Everything went flat,” recalls Manzanera of 1968-71. “A lot of musicians were…out of it, so they weren’t even bothering to wear kaftans or other hippy stuff, which had been stylish in their own way.” …The bearded Manzanera came across as a snazzed-up, tidier version of a late-sixties freak, wearing Antony Price-designed sunglasses that looked like fly’s eyes.

All told, a pleasurable waste of an otherwise perfectly good night on the town for those capable of remembering it…but who talks to them?
