This is all me, and I’m doing it my way I don’t know about anyone else, but I felt the best about Daily Duranie when I didn’t worry about what I was writing. There was a time when Amanda and I would write with abandon. We put our thoughts out there, sometimes—well, actually often times—crossing… Continue reading Five Years, My Own Way
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.
Memorabilia Medley: Doormat
I know the title is strange. What do doormats have to do with being a fan or having a piece of memorabilia? It isn’t like I have ever seen a Duran Duran doormat. (Although, it would not surprise me to find out that someone somewhere has one.) It isn’t just something I thought much about.… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Doormat

In Review – Lay Lady Lay
We are jumping into 2021 with both feet, as we turn our attention to the song, “Lay Lady Lay”, this week. The original was written by Bob Dylan, released in 1969. It has been covered over the decades since by far too many artists to count. What makes Duran Duran’s version different and notable? Let’s… Continue reading In Review – Lay Lady Lay
Random Fandom: Duran as Fans
As I sat down to write this blog post, Duran Duran posted on Twitter a link to a Spotify playlist of David Bowie tracks. This, of course, is part of the continued David Bowie Celebration that features not only a live stream of a tremendous number of artists playing as well as some new music… Continue reading Random Fandom: Duran as Fans

My Own Way
Originally, I had a v-log all set to go for today. In fact, I’d filmed it yesterday morning my time, just as news was breaking regarding the US Capitol being defiled by rioters. After some thought, I decided that the particular video I’d filmed was probably too light for the day immediately following. Instead, I’m… Continue reading My Own Way
Memorabilia Medley – The Book of Words
Here’s another crazy video of mine as I go over the Book of Words and why I think it should be included in library of any Duran fan! -R
Point of View – 1/4/21
Today, I wanted to address a specific question that a few people asked me in regard to something I’d said on the Vodka Friday video from last week. Since this is something emotional, I felt that it might be better addressed over a video than through my writing, and I hope it explains my feelings… Continue reading Point of View – 1/4/21
