Video: Roxy Music, "Mother of Pearl"
This is a great clip of one of my favorite tunes by Roxy Music, "Mother of Pearl."
I get chills when I listen to it. It just flows beautifully. The inertness of the crowd is annoying, but maybe they were all too stoned to respond or something. But Roxy brought it on this performance, and Bryan Ferry's doing his whole supersuave frontman thing masterfully.

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
- Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
- Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
- Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
- Requires excessive admiration
- Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
- Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
- Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
- Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
- Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
And this freaks me out, too.
