Duran Duran @ Melbourne VFestival
- Jul 14, 2008
So while Duran Duran are impressing Europe with their major gigs in Paris and London, swanning around with Mr Mark 'TheCoolPerson' Ronson, let's take a look back through the rectangular window at that moment backstage at the VFestival in Melbourne when I tried to not wet my already moist knickers even further as the legends that are Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor cosied up on the sofa next to me for a nice little chat. It seemed that the very proper and polite Duranie chaps were doing acceptably for gentlemen of their procilivities (I didn't even flinch when Mr Rhodes said that) and like a real smooth smarmy sycophant I managed not to get on the receiving end of a Rhodes right hook when I described them as evolving beautifully (when touching upon that subject of how long they've been on the scene). Which was nice as, being a genuine fan and willing arse-licker, I so didn't want to offend them. It was all quite surreal but I hope I got enough juice out of the truly awesome Duran Duran for you all to enjoy here. And I am most miffed that even after all that arse-licking I didn't get an invite to the Mark Ronson gig in Paris. It was on my birthday as well. Bastards.
