So, there was a January Katy Kafe recently, and our favorite bass player was the special guest! Rather than just type my thoughts like a normal person, I decided to try doing a video and unleashing the (incredibly) few video editing skills I’ve been working on lately. You know what they don’t tell you about… Continue reading Let’s talk about that Katy Kafe!

You never know who you’ll run into!
Hello dear readers! Today has been quite the day on the Rivera homestead. First, our power went out for a brief period this morning, and now, we’re surviving with no internet. Thank goodness for cellular data and hotspots. As a result, the previously planned blog isn’t happening today. Thankfully, we have had a reader step… Continue reading You never know who you’ll run into!
In Review: 911 is a Joke
Yes, we’ve reached this infamous point on the Thank You album. Truthfully, we approach the song with a fair amount of concern. The much maligned cover couldn’t possibly be that bad, could it? The song was originally recorded by Public Enemy, and appeared on their third album, Fear of a Black Planet, in 1990. It… Continue reading In Review: 911 is a Joke
Five Years, My Own Way
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

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

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
