This past Wednesday, I saw a little show entitled “Rock Legends” on AXS TV. This isn’t a channel I normally turn to but did this night after I did a search for Duran Duran on my TV Guide app. What is the connection? Apparently, this series focuses on different legends of music and this week… Continue reading Rock Legends: Duran Duran

We’ll Light Up the Land
If only people had seen the texts between Amanda and I yesterday…. My fingers flew fast and furious over my phone yesterday, as Amanda and I began an impromptu session of “US Tour Planning, 2016 Edition!” Even as we countdown to the beginning of the first leg of the US tour dates, Amanda and I… Continue reading We’ll Light Up the Land
Tour Time Cometh!
This week has brought a small flurry of announcements from Duran Duran that begs the reminder: Tour Time Cometh (My English is anything but incredibly proper). Just as I was beginning to wonder in quiet little under-my-breath murmurings about whether Europe would even see Duran Duran this summer, I noticed that they’ve been added to… Continue reading Tour Time Cometh!

Somebody Else Took His Place and Cried, “I’m a blackstar!”
Has anyone seen the petition going around to stop Kanye West from recording a David Bowie tribute album? I’ve seen the petition circulating, and while I admit I chuckled at the very idea, I also didn’t consider signing, even for a short second. Let’s consider what music really is, to begin. Music is a performing or performance… Continue reading Somebody Else Took His Place and Cried, “I’m a blackstar!”
Paper Gods and Chart Success
I don’t pay a lot of attention to chart success, but occasionally something will grab my interest. This past week there were two things! First off, I couldn’t help but notice that David Bowie’s album Blackstar went to #1. I can’t imagine I’m the only one out there struck by the thought that this is his first #1… Continue reading Paper Gods and Chart Success
How Beautiful the Closing Down
This week is sucking, gotta say. I am already in a mad hurry today because I have to take Heather, my oldest, to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). Why? Today she FINALLY takes her drivers test. She will be 19 next week. I pray she passes. (and no, we were NOT insisting she wait… Continue reading How Beautiful the Closing Down
Winter Marches On…
I hate this time of the year. I always hate this time of the year. The holidays are over and the next vacation feels eons away. I find myself searching for something to look forward to. Anything. It doesn’t really matter what as long as it is something that breaks me out of the daily… Continue reading Winter Marches On…
Definitively Duran Duran
Yesterday, as I was (supposed to be) working on paperwork, I noticed that Duran Duran threw a question out to the masses on social media. I like the idea of asking fans questions in order to stay engaged – we’ve done that on a regular basis now for the past few years (if not longer),… Continue reading Definitively Duran Duran
