Duran Duran

OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!



OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!



I don't know if I told you but, OH MY GOD!!!! I saw DURAN DURAN!!!!! THEY WERE AWESOME!!!! They can come steal me any time they want to! CRAP, they can come to my house in their 1980's outfits with their 1980's hair and makeup and I'll still yell TAKE ME TAKE ME TAKE ME TAKE ME!!!

In the course of a week, I have become obsessed with Duran Duran! I would say "again" but let me explain how Duran Duran fits into my world.

I was 4 when MTV came out. I was probably 7 or 8 before it finally made it out to our house. My sister, being 7 ANCIENT years older than me, was obsessed with it! The highlight of my afternoon one day was coming home to find all the channels had been scrambled. I conveinced my sister that they had cancelled MTV. It only took her about 5 minutes to find it but my GOD the shere GLEE I had in those 5 minutes watching her panic. I'm sure she beat me later.
Anyway, her room was COVERED WALL-TO-WALL in Duran Duran pictures/posters from Teen Beat and all those other lovely magazines. Every CD was Duran Duran. As she got older, Nagles (the guy who designed the cover for Rio) covered her wall. It was bizarre. Regardless, I was exposed and I lived vicariously through her obsession.
(not the concert but H.O.T.!)
Life goes on and we grow up. 3 children later, my sister hears that Duran Duran is touring. "OH MY GOD" she squees and next thing you know, my sister AND my mother become Duran Duran groupies for part of 2004, all of 2005 and a good chunk of 2006 (I'm adopted). I, being poor and responsible (no one choke) don't partake in the Duran Duran freak out but get phone calls from every concert so I can hear the songs I like. Due to their obsession, my DAUGHTER, gets the bug! She has the "Astronaut" CD and plays it OVER and OVER and OVER and OH MY GOD! For the school talent show, she auditions by singing "REACH UP FOR THE SUNRISE". She was in KINDERGARTEN! Regardless, all parents at her school now "know"!


About a month ago, I see that Duran Duran will be playing. I call my mom and say HEY, I can go to this one! Next thing I know, she's got 5th row tickets! I love her ;) I went to my first Duran Duran concert and I LOVED IT! IT ROCKED! I feel so STUPID for not going to all the ones I had the option to go too, but I'm pretty sure I'll be ok being the obsessed fan. I know I'm not alone!!! Skyler made her first concert! She just wanted to hear "REACH UP FOR THE SUNRISE"! The rest of the time, I'm pretty sure she made fun of our screaming and crying and screaming and OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!
