Tonight...Duran Duran...in concert...and I was there! My dear friend Ana and I reverted to our middle school ways and acted like 13-olds - screaming for John Taylor and Simon LeBon. I sang every song and woo-hoo'd all night long. My throat already hurts! It truly was an incredible concert and lived up to my expectations, which were extremely high considering I've wanted to see them in concert for what...24 years or something like that.
I was one of those crazy Duran Duran fans when I was in middle school. My ro
om was wallpapered with pictures of them, especially John - who was definitely my favorite. I wish I had held on to all of that stuff because I think it would be funny to go back and look at it now. I knew all kinds of crazy trivia about them. Did you know the name of John's cat back in the early 80's? I doubt it, but I did! Why in the world did I know that!? It was Chaz, by the way! Why do I still know that!?I have very fond memories of walking to the Fort Benning PX with a group of about 6 girls when the Arena album came out...not a CD, mind you, but a record. It was about a 2 mile walk each way, but we asked our parents and for some reason they let us go! We spent the whole way there and back singing Duran Duran songs and talking about those 5 guys like we knew them! Wow...those were the days!
Well...I guess this proves that I am a total dork, but I'll just have to live with that because Duran Duran ROCKS!!!
