What happens when there’s a power outage and I’m still sleeping? Basically, I slept in far too late, and now I’ve got a blog to write and publish in record time before a meeting with Amanda. They get me Many fans responded to my question about fandom. What keeps you interested as a Duran Duran… Continue reading What Keeps you going?

To Find the Twist in Me
How many times do you need to listen to an album before you connect, or “get it”? Is it a case of, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again?” Or, do you figure that if the ears don’t like it, you’re done?
Repost: Paper Gods, The Book
Today DDHQ asked fans for their favorite tour book. Without question, mine is the one from Paper Gods, and here is a post from 2016 that tells all about it!
The Union of the Snake
Telegram force and ready When I don’t have real news to report, admittedly I fall back to historical dates. They tend to either jar my memory, or get my creative juices flowing. Or, it remains as dry as the Sahara, and I struggle a lot to get something written. You just never know! Today though,… Continue reading The Union of the Snake
From Here to 2009 and Back Again
Think back to 2014, my friends. Do you know what happened on this day? Simon sent out a short update on #DD14 (which we now know to be Paper Gods), saying they were in the refinement stages – but he didn’t give out names or confirm/deny any other rumors circulating at that time. It was… Continue reading From Here to 2009 and Back Again
We Need You
I have been thinking a lot about the word, “need,” as opposed to want, wish, hope for, etc. I think about it in terms of my job. What do I really need as a teacher? What do I really need as a fan? What do I really need as a person? This sounds like an… Continue reading We Need You
A Silhouette Begins the Show
So, show of hands….how many of our readers are at home because of snow/cold days?!? I hear that Chicago is going to be colder than the Antarctic this week. Amanda has been telling me about forecasts that have Madison’s wind chill at -50 (Fahrenheit) or more. That’s ridiculous!! I hope everyone stays warm! I apologize… Continue reading A Silhouette Begins the Show
Studio-time Cometh: New Music Ahead!
Happy Monday, everybody! I trust that everyone made it through Black Friday and has cruised smoothly into Cyber Monday. If you’re like me and thought braving Costco on the Sunday after Thanksgiving was a good idea, we probably need our heads examined. Naturally, the big news for this week is that John mentioned a little… Continue reading Studio-time Cometh: New Music Ahead!
Classic Pop Special Edition: Paper Cuts and Extraordinary World
Ignoring the question of are there shows or aren’t they for now, I will share my thoughts about the final two articles in Classic Pop’s Special Edition for Duran’s 40th Anniversary: Paper Cuts and Extraordinary World. Obviously, the first articles focused in on the Paper Gods album and Extraordinary World dealt with winning an award… Continue reading Classic Pop Special Edition: Paper Cuts and Extraordinary World
Were you at the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley in 2015?
On this date in 2015, Duran Duran played the Greek Theatre on the campus of UC Berkeley. I drove to this show with Amanda and our friend Heather. We left right after the concert ended at the Hollywood Bowl the night before, and stopped at a hotel (I use that term rather loosely here) along… Continue reading Were you at the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley in 2015?
