RE: Duran Duran

yeah, I think that's them. the most prefabricated act since the monkeys and autograph.

I beg to differ. Those guys were amazing -- wrote their own stuff and are still together touring.

I remember meeting them when I worked at my college radio station in 1980. They took their music quite seriously. And though I never really followed them or their music, I believe that John Taylor is quite a good bass player. And the last time I checked, Terry Bozzio and Warren Cucurillo were playing with Duran Duran: You might be interested to know that they're both alumnus of Frank Zappa's bands.

I always like Bozzio's part of the Devil on FZ's "Titties and Beer".I couldn't see him in Duran Duran,he was a classical trained musician who was a madman on the drums.Warren Cucurillo as far as I know was someone who frequented Frank's shows,wishing he could join his band,until he met him back stage and Frank gave him an audition eventually and thought he was good enough .He had to be good because Zappa was known for being particular and would fire you in a minute if you couldn't play the way he wanted.I think it was short lived ,though.
