This week marks a holiday for most in the United States with Thanksgiving on Thursday. For many, this means a special dinner with friends and family. It also means a couple of days off of work. I’m looking forward to that as well as spending some time with my parents and my eldest niece. It… Continue reading This Week in DD History: November 21 to November 27

The Week in DD History: October 24-October 30, 2021
What a week last week was in Duranland! This morning I saw a friend’s post on Facebook about how much promotion Duran is doing for this new album and how she is struggling to keep up! I could not agree more. This is when I want to ask if I could just be a Duranie… Continue reading The Week in DD History: October 24-October 30, 2021

Why is October flying by so quickly this year?!? It feels like I just barely turned the calendar from September! Perhaps it is due to the band performing this month. Maybe it is because we’ve been waiting SO LONG for #DD15 that time has taken pity on us…it’s not very long now before the released… Continue reading This Week in DD History: October 17-23, 2021

The Thank You album gets even less. The choice of songs felt jaded and misguided and only a few hold my interest for… Continue reading Rebel Rebels – A Belated Thank You

Fall happens to be my favorite season as I love the fall colors here in the Midwest, cooler weather, the introduction of sweaters and boots into my wardrobe and more. Fall tends to also be a big deal in the history of Duranland as many albums have… Continue reading This Week in DD History: September 26 to October 2, 2021

Duran Duran’s Turning Points
Historians, including history teachers, talk about turning points. These are moments that historians argue change the course of history. In some cases, maybe they lead to horrible results like a war or, perhaps, they stop something terrible from occurring. Why do I mention all of this is a blog about being a fan of a… Continue reading Duran Duran’s Turning Points
