The fall-out continues after Bryan Ferry's interview with Welt am Sonntag, in which he praised Nazi Germany's aesthetics, including Hitler's mass rallies, as "just amazing. Really beautiful," and revealed that he calls his studio the Fuhrerbunker.
Whatever your thoughts on the nurture versus nature debate, stupidity is clearly hereditary. Ferry's son, pro-hunt campaigner and Tory poster boy Otis, escaped a drink driving ban last year despite downing at least seven shots of vodka and being nearly twice over the legal limit. Fined £500, he bleated: "I don't think I've got away with it. I've got to pay a huge fine." Otis, you may remember, also escaped with an 18 month conditional discharge after storming the House of Commons. Two members of Fathers For Justice, charged with a similar offence, were fined £600 and given a two year suspended jail sentence.
I never liked Roxy Music anyway.

I'd forgotten about the idiot son, Otis.
Praising Nazi stylishness is the sort of thing you'd expect from an airhead art student. But Ferry gave up being an airhead art student 40 years ago. The twot. You'd think when people got past 60 they'd acquire a grain of common sense.
