I have had a great time. No matter how long I’ve been writing Daily Duranie, and no matter how long I keep going, I will always be truly grateful for the blog, the people I’ve met, and just how much fun I’ve had along the way. This past weekend, I spent some time really thinking… Continue reading Life of Chains

Rhonda’s new Thursday topic. It’s anything she wants it to be. :D
Ibiza Fun in the Sun
By now, I’m sure most everyone has either gotten an email, seen the tweets and posts, or has heard about the DD weekend in Ibiza through word of mouth. If not – well, SURPRISE! There’s a Duran Duran weekend in Ibiza coming up at the end of April in 2022! Basically, and I mean this… Continue reading Ibiza Fun in the Sun
By the Fingernails
It’s My Own Way today. That is your cue to recognize that today’s blog is from my point of view, and it’s going to be kind of a lot! We’ve got a new album, fantastic new music, new merch, brand new theme, and even a new website with duranduran.com. I love where the band is… Continue reading By the Fingernails
Plastic Paradise
I feel as though the past week has been a whirlwind, and I’m not even in the band! Each day has a variety: things to watch, articles to read, new music, and chart news I couldn’t have even imagined. Like many of you have mentioned, it has been difficult to keep up – a very… Continue reading Plastic Paradise
This is it!
This is it. The day before everything changes. Or maybe it has already changed? I’m not entirely sure. I am sitting here at my desk, contemplating exactly what I’m going to say when I meet with Jason in a couple of hours to review Future Past for The Encores Club. Honestly, in a lot of… Continue reading This is it!
It is just music
What do you do if your favorite band puts out an album you don’t like? I feel like maybe this is a fair question that many of us have dealt with over the course of our lives. There are likely countless answers, some great, some fair, and others…well…we’ve seen some of the “others”, haven’t we?… Continue reading It is just music
Not Quite Wallowing
I didn’t go to Austin. Funny enough, when they announced these ACL gigs, I shook my head and figured they’d end up canceled. Then I thought that they’d *have* to do other gigs. I mean, they were playing a festival two weekends in a row. Wouldn’t there be more shows announced?? Well, I was wrong… Continue reading Not Quite Wallowing
The more things change
Just six years ago today, I stood on a very hot sidewalk in Hollywood, waiting to be allowed past the gate to then stand on some asphalt in a back lot behind the theater where Jimmy Kimmel tapes his late night talk show. Those of us in line were there, of course, to see Duran… Continue reading The more things change
Feelings
It’s Thursday! I am growing to love this day of the week. While I try to bring a part of myself and my own love of this band into most any post – these are special. This space is where I am just me, and I share whatever I’m feeling that week. This week, I’ve… Continue reading Feelings
First One Back
Last weekend, I went to my first “real” concert since 2019. The venue was Vina Robles Amphitheater, which is located at a winery about fifteen minutes from my house. The capacity, including the lawn, is only 3300 people. Now, I realize that during this time, 3300 people is about 3299 more than many of you… Continue reading First One Back
