These Foolish Things: Bryan Ferry Praises Nazi Propaganda

/media/news/21000/0.jpg

Many musicians cite suave-as-shit Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry as a source of inspiration. However when Ferry needs to add some fuel to his creative fire he looks to sources outside of the music industry. More specifically, he looks to Nazi propaganda. Ferry recently ignited a media blitzkrieg after he told a German newspaper where his inspiration comes from:
While speaking to the newspaper Welt Am Sonntag, the former Roxy Music frontman said the Nazis "knew how to put themselves in the limelight."

He continued: "Leni Riefenstahl's movies, Albert Speer's buildings, the mass parades and the flags -- just amazing. Really beautiful."

The 61-year-old singer also acknowledged that he calls his studio in west London the "Fuhrerbunker".
Lord Janner from the Board of Deputies of British Jews is pissed. He said,
"Riefenstahl was part of the Nazi movement and the Nazis were murderers - and the mass parades he refers to make me vomit.

Ferry's manager Steven Howard responded,
"To take offence here is to confuse the aesthetic with the ideological. To suggest that a certain appreciation of art and architecture that happens to be associated with the Nazi regime means condoning the actions of that regime is illogical."
This uproar comes after Ferry was chosen earlier this year to be the face of Marks & Spencer, a clothing company founded by Russian-Jewish refugees. No official word on if Ferry will lose his contract with the company.
