Hello, rising before dawn, trips back and forth to school, and policing homework! What else is going on this week…let’s… Continue reading This Week in DD History: August 8-14, 2021

Biloxi, 2012
I remember waking up at the crack of dawn in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was 2012 and my inner clock remained on Pacific Coast time, three hours behind whatever time shown on Amanda’s phone. We’d traveled there after landing the night before in New Orleans, driving from NOLA to Biloxi for a show at the Hard… Continue reading Biloxi, 2012
Let’s Talk MORE JOY!
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueller from Ferris Beuller’s Day Off Yep, I did just quote from one of my favorite movies of all time right there. If you weren’t watching social media closely today, you may have missed “MORE JOY”,… Continue reading Let’s Talk MORE JOY!
Please Please Tell Me Now
As many of our readers know by now, I’m an avid reader. There isn’t a single day that goes by that I’m not reading something, whether books on music (of which I am in the middle of several – my goal this year is to finish them!), or “for pleasure” books that I listen to… Continue reading Please Please Tell Me Now
So Long Suicide
This week, we’re listening to So Long Suicide, the 11th track off of Medazzaland. The song was written in response to Kurt Cobain’s death, and features some of the last of John’s bass work with the band until Astronaut. Audio Lyrics Read “So Long Suicide” by Duran Duran on Genius Rhonda So Long Suicide is not… Continue reading So Long Suicide
Three C’s: Chips, Chai and Children
After mostly taking the month of July off, I’m getting back into the swing of things. You may or may not have noticed I’ve been a little more absent than normal. While I’ve tried to check in on Twitter from time to time, I pre-wrote many of the posts you’ve read this month so that… Continue reading Three C’s: Chips, Chai and Children
Midnight Sun
Today, we’ve moved onto “Midnight Sun”, the tenth track off of Medazzaland! There isn’t a lot of background story for “Midnight Sun” found online, although there was an Ask Katy wayyyy back in 2001 regarding its origins. Simon answered with a mysterious, “All I can say is that it is about someone special.” Audio Lyrics… Continue reading Midnight Sun

Is He Having a Seizure?
Recently, the memory of the 2009 show at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa (at the OC Fairgrounds) came up on my calendar. I was there that night with Amanda. If my memory serves correctly, we had met up in Las Vegas and it was one of those times that just worked out brilliantly. I… Continue reading Is He Having a Seizure?
Michael You’ve Got a Lot to Answer For
This week, we’re listening to “Michael You’ve got a Lot to Answer For”, the 9th track off of Medazzaland. For many, this remains a difficult song to digest. The prophetic tune was released as a part of the Medazzaland album just a month before the death of Michael Hutchence in 1997. As the band began… Continue reading Michael You’ve Got a Lot to Answer For
