Duran Duran is coming to Saratoga on July 8th.
how funny it would be to see the band that was my first concert ever.
how weird it would be to see the band that was my first concert ever for the first time since 1984 (2nd time -'86). especially because i stopped listening after Arcadia, which wasn't really them.
when they broke up, i supported it because they were starting to suck.
the story was interesting; the drummer, Roger Taylor, "went crazy and had to retire to rural England." the guitarist, Andy Taylor, "had enough of fame" and went on to play in the hideous band, Power Station with DD bassist, John Taylor and the singer/songwriter Robert Palmer. LAME. Hollywood Walk Of LAME.
and what was nick rhodes up to all that time besides immortalizing his unique hetero drag queen look in the pages of random magazines from countries americans rarely saw except at international newstands in metropolitan cities?
having enough of fame and going crazy made them a little tiny bit punk rock. then...they reformed and by that time the little girls weren't interested anymore.
simon leBon was my favorite (favourite) as a teenager. i'm pleased to see him here wearing my own current favorite (favourite) uniform of jeans and jack purcells. when i was in love with him he was 26 and i was 14. i wonder if he's still sexy? can't tell from the picture. even with the great outfit. i guess it's possible. i know i'm still sexy 25 years later.
oh. ew. that sounds gross.
(wait a goddamn minute...andy taylor is not in this picture. shahhhhh.)
