They will be at the Neptune Theater on Wednesday, September 26th and let it be known to all that we will be asking them about this AND THEY WILL ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS. Oh, and we shall dance the dance of life in celebration of Bob Moses. |

One may, if one so choses, watch the video for “In a River,” on his site https://officialrostam.com/ not to be mistaken for Unnofficial Rostam dot net, which is, well, a fake site that is fake and doesn’t exist. So there’s that. |

The song’s Wikipedia page refers to this story as having “become part of the Duran Duran legend,” and while that sounds a bit melodramatic, it’s not untrue. While in the employ of Paul and Michael Berrow, who ran the Birmingham nightclub known as The Rum Runner, one of the club’s barmaids suggested that her ex-boyfriend might make a good singer for the band. In short order, Simon Le Bon auditioned for the gig, and when he did, he came armed with a collection of poetry and lyrics, including – you guessed it – the lyrics which soon found their way into “The Chauffeur.” http://www.duranduran.com/wordpress/2014/6-things-may-known-duran-durans-rio/ |

Of her childhood, singer Natasha Khan says she was subject to racial abuse during secondary school for being Pakistani, played truant, and was suspended after swearing and throwing a chair at a teacher. She told The Daily Telegraph: "I was an outsider at school. When I came back from being suspended they had told the small group of friends that I did have there that they weren't allowed to talk to me because I was a really bad influence. Then it got quite lonely." |

Regarding her new album “Hunter,” Anna Calvi says “I'm hunting for something - I want experiences, I want agency, I want sexual freedom, I want intimacy, I want to feel strong, I want to feel protected and I want to find something beautiful in all the mess. I want to go beyond gender. I don’t want to have to chose between the male and female in me. I’m fighting against feeling an outsider and trying to find a place that feels like home.” Read more on Anna’s site: http://annacalvi.com/ |
