Wow. I have not written a blog post in forever. There are a lot of reasons for that, but that is not the purpose of this particular post. Instead, this one is an acknowledgement of an anniversary, a monumental moment, a significant marker. As most of you know, in April of 1984, Duran Duran’s song,… Continue reading I’ll Cross that Bridge When I Find It
Author: Daily Duranie
Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
Looking at the Reasons for Me to Head Back
I feel like something happened this week. What took place? I know that the week felt like the longest month but was there something fandom related?! I’m kidding. Of course, I know this past week tickets went on sale for Duran’s 2023 North American Tour Dates. (I use the term North American loosely. It is… Continue reading Looking at the Reasons for Me to Head Back
The Silence Waiting to Fall
Since this blog began twelve years ago, I have documented many moments. Lots of those have been Duran focused like the release of a new album or video. Some of them have been historical like an election or a tragic event. A few of them have been personal. This blog is going to be one… Continue reading The Silence Waiting to Fall
I Give Thanks
I am happy to report that I am, indeed, alive. A blog post is long overdue. I know. Part of me (a big part of me) wants to apologize but I’m fighting that. There are no requirements about when to post or how often to post or even what to chat about. Speaking of topics,… Continue reading I Give Thanks
More Joy
By Nat I spotted the Amazon package on my door step and thought, “Uh oh. What did I order this time?”To my great delight, that brown box encased Denis O’Regan’s Careless Memories book. Icasually ordered it this past summer, thinking it would make a lovely birthday gift to myself. Iwas right. I will attend the… Continue reading More Joy
Salt in the Rainbow: Midwest Mini-Tour ’22 Part 2
I had every intention of getting this second part done sooner rather than later but real life came up. While I could go into detail about that, instead, I’ll just move on to the second part. And So We Travel… After we found out the show in Minnesota was not going to happen and processed… Continue reading Salt in the Rainbow: Midwest Mini-Tour ’22 Part 2
Salt in the Rainbow: Midwest Mini-Tour ’22 Part 1
I’m finally getting to write this blog. I arrived home a week ago and this is first day that I have been able to really take the time to get my thoughts and feelings down here. Please note that this will be a two part blog as I have a lot to say. We’re Miles… Continue reading Salt in the Rainbow: Midwest Mini-Tour ’22 Part 1
Tour Time Thoughts
Wow. I was not sure that I would type those words ever again but, yes, Duran is coming to the States and rumor has it that I have tickets to a couple of shows. This tour will be different than the previous ones for a variety of reasons and I am looking forward to it.… Continue reading Tour Time Thoughts
Survey: Which Song Do You Like Better?
It has been WAY too long since I published a survey. I have been asking about the songs from Future Past. Before I get to the next set of songs, here’s the winner from the previous survey:
Change Is Coming Down the Line
It has been awhile since I sat down to write a blog. It isn’t for lack of having something to say but lack of time. I’ll also be honest it has also because my Duran fandom has moved down in my priority list. This isn’t because my love for the band has lessened or because… Continue reading Change Is Coming Down the Line
