I Heart Duran Duran - Page 2

Claire · 01-12-2005, 04:33 PM

I remember the first time I saw a picture of Simon LeBon, I almost passed out from his coolness and cuteness. I was 9....so it was 1982. He's the one who made me have.....those....feelings for boys.

When I was 10, I wrote on their pictures on my albums....I wrote their NAMES on them.

I still have them. I did the same on my Wham! albums.

When I was in high school, Duran Duran was past their first/second era of coolness, and they were touring in Europe and other countries. My friend, Doug, scored a job as a roadie (unpaid, his parents were rich and basically paid someone so he could be there and he was a keyboardist, so the keyboards were his babies), and he swears he gave Nick sumthin sumthin. He said that three of them were bisexual......and that Simon was NOT one of them.

I, too, love John's delicate features. He's got a beautiful face. Simon has chubbed out a little.....but he still gives me....those....feelings. :dreamysigh:

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 was a John girl...me and my best friend in 4th grade. I was just remarking to hubby last night I would like to see Duran Duran...he said "they're so over!"

Ack! My ears!

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?

I didn't know that CC was selling turntables. We have a closet full of vinyls that I miss hearing and no turntable. I'll have to check into that. Thanks!

Edit: Too funny GC. I remember on the school bus in the mornings, the bus driver would have the radio on. If Like A Virgin or I Want A New Drug came on they would have to turn it down until the song was over. It still cracks me up.

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?

Not Afraid · 01-12-2005, 04:52 PM

I seem to whore, er, float around the band members evenly. Keith RIchards, Peter Murphy, Ringo Star, Steven Tyler, Nick Cave......ok, maybe I have a slight tendency for singers.

In honor of this thread, I'm listening to 'Drowning Man' by Duran Duran on my iTunes as we 'speak'.

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
