Reveling at Ravinia 2016

Rhonda is ready to host

Five years ago this week, I saw Duran Duran in Chicago. It was at Ravinia, which is a special venue for the Chicagoland area. The venue is part expansive park-like lawn with trees sprinkled throughout, and part outdoors (but covered) amphitheater, open during the summer for concerts and concert picnicking. While one may decide to… Continue reading Reveling at Ravinia 2016

Rhonda’s Soundtrack

Thanks to Amanda’s shout-out over the weekend, directing me to come up with my own lifetime soundtrack, I have a topic in mind for today! Duran Duran has been a part of my life for so long, that many of the mile markers I’ve reached along the way have one of their songs attached. In… Continue reading Rhonda’s Soundtrack

I’m (Probably) Not Going to Sleep Tonight

I don’t know how long we’ve been on lockdown now. My youngest came home from school on March 13th, and that was the day I found out she wasn’t going back on Monday. I think it was the following Thursday that Heather and her boyfriend came up here because her studio had been closed, and… Continue reading I’m (Probably) Not Going to Sleep Tonight

I wish *I* Knew What’s in Their Head(s)

Naturally, this question is fully loaded. I can cite about 35… Continue reading I wish *I* Knew What’s in Their Head(s)

Crazy things happen all of the time, and sometimes to all of us at once – like right now. I just had to chuckle a bit when I thought… Continue reading On the Other Side

Still Reaching

The time has come Lately, I’ve been feeling far removed from the Duran Duran fandom. That isn’t so much a symptom of some personal strife keeping me from fully embracing all that is the band and fandom, as it is the effect of being between albums. Even so, aside from occasional dinners with my friend… Continue reading Still Reaching

Fight it, or Invite It

Honesty Yesterday morning, I received a text from Jason, letting me know that he’d posted the blog. (check it out here if you haven’t yet!) Somewhat cryptically, he mentioned that he hoped it wasn’t too rough. The guest blogger he’d worked with was open and candid with regard to her feelings about the videos they’d… Continue reading Fight it, or Invite It
