Remember group therapy? You know….CONCERTS? I still have moments when I wonder if we’ll ever get to go again. Now, now, I know some of you are saying “But wait, Duran has some scheduled for next summer! What about Ibiza in Ap…I mean October now…” Yes. Yes I know about those shows. I have moments,… Continue reading Random Fandom: Another Concert Meme

Random Fandom: Concert Weirdos
Last week, I quit Twitter. I took one last look through my old tweets, said a few silent goodbyes to people and accounts I’ve followed from the beginning, and deactivated my personal account. It was strange, but also just the teeniest bit of a relief. Before the conspiracy theories commence, it had nothing to do… Continue reading Random Fandom: Concert Weirdos
Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
I don’t know how common this is, but back in the 80s when I thought I was super busy with school and clarinet practice – yet still had considerable time for daydreaming, I thought about goals. One of my goals, was to someday have something signed by Duran Duran. Granted, I was a kid then.… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
September 2020 Poll Wrap-up!
It occurred to me that perhaps not everyone goes back to see who actually won a particular poll, and I thought it’d be fun to look back and see who or what reigned supreme each week! As of today, this is what the results look like! Remember when we asked who you might want as… Continue reading September 2020 Poll Wrap-up!
Memorabilia Medley: DD Pendant
Hey everyone, once again, I decided to try filming this segment, particularly since it’s easier to show the pendant rather than just photograph it. One correction I need to make, in the video I had said something about it happening in 2006, and it was actually 2005. Sorry about that! Hope you enjoy! -R
Which John Taylor Are You?
So, how are you? This question feels to me to be a tough one to ask and answer these days. Nowadays, when I ask this question, I hear the subtle or not-so-subtle silence as the person pauses, trying to figure out exactly how to answer it. On one hand, people might feel glad or relieved… Continue reading Which John Taylor Are You?
Poll: How about those comments?
Here’s the deal: I love seeing John, Roger, Simon or Nick engage with fans. I used to thoroughly enjoy seeing John on Twitter, for instance. It was, well, kind of a new world at the time. One where there was the slightest opportunity of having someone from my favorite band respond to something I’d said,… Continue reading Poll: How about those comments?
For the 5,586th post…
No matter how you slice it, ten years is a lot. I can remember the very day I wrote the first blog. I was nervous, but also very-aware of how lost it would likely become in what I call the “washing-machine” of the web. Who would even see it? Likely no one. Even so, I… Continue reading For the 5,586th post…
How did I dream you?
Although I am supposed to be on top of household duties today, I couldn’t let the day go by without expressing a little something. I don’t know why today is the day for sentiment from me, but here we are, and this is happening. So, here’s the thing: I live on the west coast, as… Continue reading How did I dream you?
Funny or Insulting?
Not too long ago, I rediscovered an image that I had saved years ago. Obviously, at the time, it hit me enough that I saved it but I did not do anything with it. I guess I was not sure what to do with it until now. How many of you have seen this: When… Continue reading Funny or Insulting?
