Duran Duran is on Tour! No you haven't come across and old blog post from 1984. Blogs didn't exist in 1984, (how did we ever get through our day?), but 12 year old girls did and they were gaga for the androgynous hitmakers. Now those tweens are in their 30's and buying up tickets like wildfire. These women pay good money for their sitters and expect to hear the hits.
And the boys are more than happy to accomodate. Or, try to anyway.
According to Reuters, Duran Duran's tour got off to a rocky start in New Zealand as singer Simon Le Bon forget the lyrics to "Hungry Like the Wolf," arguably the band's signature song.
Later in the show John Taylor, in true pop star hissy fit form, abandoned his guitar and walked off stage during a segment using keyboards and an electronic drum set. Taylor explained later, "I could not dance to that. These people came here to dance."
John, it's great that you care so much about your fans, but they're just glad to be out of the house and dancing to anything besides The Wiggles.
