Coolness. I'm a *huge* Duran Duran fan from way back. I followed the Whitbread round-the-world sailing race when Simon leBon bought a boat ("Drum"), and have met several of the associated crew, including getting a tour of the boat and some of the recording studios where the band has worked. I look forward to seeing their latest effort! |
