My cousin Lara is older than I am so I was pretty young when she introduced me to the phenomenon of Duran Duran. I will never forget the summer my family spent two weeks in Ontario with my aunt, uncle, and two cousins at their country place. It was memorable for many, MANY reasons. One thing I can very clearly recall is sitting in the bedroom while Lara blasted her Duran Duran tapes and a bunch of us belted the words out at the top of our lungs.
(I’m sure our parents all appreciated that a lot.)
“Hungry Like the Wolf” wasn’t my favorite Duran Duran song (my favorite would be this one), but I always loved the video. Every single girl who ever liked Duran Duran had a favorite in the band, and while Nick and John were very nice to look at, I was a Simon LeBon girl through and through.
Long live the 80s!
Long time reader (from before Breanna was born)- don’t think I’ve ever commented.Thanks for the flashbacks. From the Duran Duran link I’ve just spent an hour listening to old A-ha tracks….and new ones! I didn’t even realise they still existed. And they’re still pretty good too!
