By Nat Duran Duran just announced three September Hollywood Bowl shows. Some of us thought theband should commemorate their fortieth anniversary with a special event. Several band membersexpressed their thoughts on the matter. Then, Duran released the Anniversary video which feltcelebratory of their lengthy relationship. Perhaps these shows could suffice as a quasi-anniversary show or… Continue reading The Vicious Cycle

Time is a Ribbon
We are finally in October. I say finally because September seemed to creep by, and I’m hopeful that my weather gets on board with the idea of October and cools off a little bit. One can hope, right? October first is an interesting date for me, particularly when it comes to Duran history. I have… Continue reading Time is a Ribbon
On This Date: The Evolution of my Fandom
For the last few years, I have created a Duran Duran related calendar for myself and Rhonda. In our calendar, I have listed album release dates as well when singles came out. I also have included dates that we have seen them in concert together. On this date, October 1st, there are multiple entries on… Continue reading On This Date: The Evolution of my Fandom
Duran Does It Better!
Over the years, Rhonda and I have written many, many blogs covering Duran Duran presales, concert tickets and VIP packages. In some (okay..maybe…many cases), these posts have been critical of some aspect of Duran Duran concert buying details. Likewise, many fans have also expressed frustration over the process during the last ten years or so.… Continue reading Duran Does It Better!
Tour Reflections of Agua Caliente
A year ago today I was driving Amanda to the airport to catch her flight back to reality. We had just spent a week (give or take) together seeing shows at the Hollywood Bowl, The Greek theater at UC Berkeley, and Agua Caliente. For me, the Agua Caliente show was the show to beat. I’ll… Continue reading Tour Reflections of Agua Caliente
And So Mark the Year
One year ago today, I was in Hollywood, California. More specifically than that, I was at the Hollywood Bowl. Like everyone else there that night, I was there to see Duran Duran perform to a sold out crowd at an iconic venue. This show marked the first full show that I had seen since 2012.… Continue reading And So Mark the Year
A few of my best moments of 2015
30th of December, 2015. We’ve got about a day and a half left in this year, give or take depending upon where you are in the world. Speaking for myself, I’m happy to see this one end. I have friends who look at New Years with some sort of wide-eyed optimism for possibilities, and I’m… Continue reading A few of my best moments of 2015
Year End Katy Kafe with Roger Taylor
Yesterday, at work, I logged into DuranDuranMusic to hear the first of the year end Katy Kafes. This one featured our favorite drummer, Mr. Roger Taylor! Just like Rhonda when she blogs about a “Kafe”, I was armed with pen and paper in order to take notes. That said, I’ll be giving my thoughts about… Continue reading Year End Katy Kafe with Roger Taylor
I’ll hold on to the memories
Funny thing while writing this post earlier…I had just finished this 800-word blog and saw that I needed to delete one single word. I navigated to the word, hit “delete”, and the cursor moved, deleting each letter. Then it kept going. No matter what key I hit or how much I screamed (because you know… Continue reading I’ll hold on to the memories
Something Cooking When You Play Guitar
I don’t know how other bloggers handle readers or their comments, but Amanda and I like to try to stay engaged with people. So, we do tend to read the things being said on Facebook and Twitter, as well as comments sent directly to our blog. One of the very best comments I’ve read…probably ever…was… Continue reading Something Cooking When You Play Guitar
