I stumbled upon your priceless Snarkfe...Dear Teri,<br /><br />I stumbled upon your priceless Snarkfest and found this eloquent reflection on Denis O'Regan's book. I hope it's not in bad form to write like this, but I thought I might offer an alternative for your wonderful Dur-appetite - one that will hopefully be in your range. I am a Duran Duran archivist and I just released "Beautiful Colors: The Posters of Duran Duran" (Amazon, $75). This is a 260-page, hardcover chronicle of Duran's history (1978 up to the present) through selected posters from my archive. Insights from artists bring images to life, Nick Rhodes penned a touching foreword, and the band has deemed the book "magnificent." I invite you to check it out, and would love to hear from you! Feel free to write at: contact@durandy.com<br /><br />All my best,<br />AndyAndrew (Durandy) Golubhttp://durandy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-52961554617602863122013-11-27T16:24:44.809-05:002013-11-27T16:24:44.809-05:00You.

I'll admit, you had me at the "Sing Blue Silver Tour" part (1984 - Seattle, WA - 9th grade - FIRST and BEST concert ever) but lost me at anything over $50. Okay, $60. Maaaybe $62.50 but THAT'S IT. It's pretty obnoxiously pompous of them...but if they want to capitalize - AGAIN - on their youth then good on 'em. And by 'good on 'em' I mean to hell with them. (Did I really just say that about DD?????) LOVE your girlfriend's comment. Hilarious.
