@loveeeprofusion MADONNA THE CELEBRATION TOUR BOOK presentation appears quite professional, though i’m uncertain whether it's official, as there's no mention of mercy playing chopin tunes before bad girl considering madonna's meticulous team it's possible they overlooked this detail lol but idk
In a section called "It started to become Art", Paul talks about Robert Fraser and Magritte:
"This big house in St. John's Wood. It was like a salon, almost. Brian Jones, John, Mick, Marianne, always round there. It was great. Some magic moments. Robert Fraser was this gallery owner - the guy who got busted with The Stones? He's a great guy, he died a few years ago, he was great. He was brilliant and I bought a couple of these Magritte paintings through Robert - dirt cheap. We didn't think he was going to be famous one day. In fact now I think he's the best surrealist. Certainly didn't think he'd ever be that. He was just one that we all liked - the skies, the doves and the bowler hats.
Robert's greatest conceptual thing he ever did, it's like a scene out of a movie for me, was, it was one of those long hot kind of summers and I had a big back garden in St. John's Wood and we were all playing in the back garden, sitting amongst the daisies, and he didn't want to break in on our scene. So he arrived and when we got back on he'd gone, but he'd left a painting just as we came through the back door, just on the table. It was a Magritte painting with an apple which we used for the Apple thing. That's where we got the Apple insignia, this big green apple. And written across the apple were the words 'Au Revoir', like a calling card."
There's a small photo of Robert on that page.
The tour book is 98 pages with many great photos and a lot of narrative from Paul. You can buy it on eBay or Amazon.
I was made for dancing... ah, ah, ah, all night long. Yeah! 1978
THIS IS HIM TODAY! It's those reality competition shows he was in a few years ago, not the rock lifestyle and drugs in his teens and twenties, that has resulted in this:
