Duran Duran at 40

Well they are getting up there in age!

1. They sucked then,

and probably still suck now.

2. I'm still enjoying them

now as much as ever. And truth be told, we're ALL getting a "little up there" in age.

Funny story about which: a group party of some very old friends happened last September. I wasn't able to make it to the gathering, but one of my friends did, and she gave me the lowdown: I had been worried about being a lot more feeling my age, but the others at the party I knew were in wheelchairs, had put on significant weight and basically had aged rather badly in some cases. I may not have lost weight, but I hadn't gained any, I'm still walking on my own two feet, and my hair color is anything but white or grey (it doesn't count that I keep it that way!). In fact, I probably look at least 10 years younger than my former aquaintances do now. :) Age is still relative. As long as you keep your pains and sores to yourself, you can still fool some people!!

3. And to think...

I knew them when Andy wasn't yet 21. In fact, we went out on his birthday to celebrate.

4. I would say they're more like the mid-40s

Simon is looking pretty jowly there.

5. John is still ever-so-hot.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. And they still don't know how to dress

And what's up with that smirky little shitfucker in the sunglasses?

My God, but he has "I AM A TOTAL TACTLESS CLASSLESS ASSHOLE WHO THINKS HE'S A REAL MACK DADDY WANNA TAKE A RIDE IN MY CORVETTER CONVERTIBLE LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL?" written all over him.

7. Came Through at Live Aid in Philly.

Got sort of sandwiched between Clapton and Tina Turner/Jagger,though.
