I Heart vh1 Classic

'Cause you know why? Guess what they played Friday night? Sing Blue Silver! The Duran Duran documentary from 1984! I own it on vhs but how cool was it to punch in 143 on the remote while not looking and hear those oh so familiar sounds! Talk about memories...I had the whole darn thing memorized back in '84. I taped the darn thing onto an AUDIO CASSETTE and listened to it over and over for God's sake! (Yes, I know, I was a total nerd. Sad, really. Remember, I am the one who, with my best friend, had a Happy Birthday Andy Taylor party complete with cake and signs and photographic evidence!!!) It still rocks my socks. I am not ashamed to admit that. I MUST have it on DVD! Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to go sing me some blue silver as I attach hundreds of little buttons to my acid washed jean jacket.

Saw your comment on SK's 'The Stand'over at aka_Montys and thought I would drop by.

I saw Duran Duran three times - back in the 'Planet Earth' days and met John Taylor at Curt Smith's (Tears for Fears) house in 1985.

Ah - recalling those brushes with celebrity make me feel old!
