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.

Point of View: Change the Skyline

The Wristband
Lately, my life has been more apple trees and dirt than rock stars and concerts.
