You can tell Duran Duran have been around since the 80s... their songs have melodies.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

I hope it makes the millennium dome look like a historically important success. If it isn't a testimony to half arsed cynicism, shit weather and a contempt for foreigners on our shores it just won't feel British.

Duran Duran is awesome. What's your problem?

:awesome:

spins blindly in the dark
so close to annihilation.

While we're yakking about pop music and the Jubilee/Olympics circus, if the Sex Pistols don't try and cash in on it during the current climate by releasing God Save the Queen backed with Anarchy in the U.K. they're fools.

I'd be in favor of Duran Duran headlining the Olympics, if he'd agree to bring Barbarella with him.

Most of the 80s was crap. Sorry. So was the 90s.

And you don't really get the 70s if you were't there.

This. The most tawdry advertising cluster-fuck imaginable. Well worth £10 billion. There's no way we could have found something better to spend that money on.

I used to wonder if the majority of pop listeners ever got the reference. The movie was over 20 years before their time after all..
