I would love to see Duran Duran in concert. I only ever saw them once. It was a birthday gift from my godfather when I was in the 7th grade, circa 1984. Location: Great Western Forum. I had been to other concerts before, this was the first one I went to where I knew all of the songs. I danced in the aisles, had a wonderful time.

My friends and I were totally into Duran Duran. My love was Roger Taylor. Now, I am thinking that John Taylor is one hot stud.

What brought you to this thread? Are you taking me to the concert or something?

And that song is old! 1981 release. Simon is my age.

I forgot about Depeche Mode. They were the other New Romantic band.

Funy, I just found a DD timeline and know I was at one of the Roxy dates in '81 and I remember the in-store appearance at Vinyl Fetish (I was hanging with the VF guys at that point).

I love these trips down memory lane!

Ralphie hearts Duran Duran too. DD is his all-time favorite.

I like:
Rio
Reflex
Sunrise

Roger has not aged very well. I love Andy's attitude now. Very cool guy.

I was never quite into Nick, nor Simon. Nick was a bit too Fem for my tastes. And Simon, well, he wasn't the drummer.

I am SUCH a lead singer hag!!!

My husband's not going either....I'm going with a group of my high school friends....none of our husbands wanted to go, except one and now he's backing out because all his friends at work are making fun of him. We have 5 guys who were seniors when we were freshman going, too. They are the same guys I go with to see Depeche Mode. They are the same ones who game me.....those....feelings in high school. One of them is a sportscaster on our NBC affiliate in Portland and he scored us all 12th row floor seats! WooHoo!!

Lead singers do it for me too, Claire! Jon Bon Jovi, anyone?

I can't wait to hear about your concert. What date are they in Portland?

My sister and I will be there too! Almost dead center, front row of the third level I think. Do you know who's opening? I've heard a rumor that it's The Killers. Should be a great concert.

I remember not being allowed to listen to 'Hungry Like the Wolf' when I was younger because as a nun in my grade school put it 'it had the sound of a woman having an orgasm' in the background.
Wow, how square can ya get?
