Bryan Ferry
Michael Gross, Zoo World, 8 January 1973
LONDON The red bus was drifting past Marble Arch, turning towards Knightsbridge. I was leafing through the notes I'd taken that afternoon, and came to the page where Bryan Ferry had written his address. My contemplation of the cosmos ended abruptly when someone behind me screamed, and before I could turn around there was this stage whisper: "He's got Bryan Ferry's address!"
