Today in Duran History – Talk Back Live

On today’s date in 1997, Duran Duran appeared on Talk Back Live on CNN to discuss teen violence.

Talk Back Live was a show on CNN from 1994 until 2003 and was billed as the first real interactive TV show.  The audience could call-in with questions/comments, but they could also send faxes (!!) or even go online using CNN’s partner CompuServe in order to interact in the chat room, and then the panelists and guests could address those comments and questions if they chose.

I tried to find a video clip, alas – I came up empty.  Did anyone watch this?  -R

Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
