The book is about The Beatles.

There's an interesting thread right now over at r/duranduran -- apparently, one of the Duran boys asked for the answers in advance...and got them!

I still love Duran Duran but how naughty of them!

I was able to find probably my favorite Spandau concert on a DVD. Seems like something like this would be pretty rare, especially from the heart like a sky era. Just thought it would be cool to share something like this.

A top 10 hit in the states that prominently features an interpolation of "True"

title basically. i love their music but honestly the lyrics don't make sense a lot of the time? even the ones that make more sense than others, still sound too... abstract? or am i stupid 🫩

chant no1...?? the freeze?? to cut a long story short ?? even true their big hit, some lyrics make sense but others sound a bit... out of place? gold too. only when you leave? what the hell is the song about? pleasure! (one of my faves from true album) what is pleasure about? i could go on...

i feel like the songs are carried by a good production and tony's voice. because if they were only based on lyrics...

Swept is definitely in my top 3 favorite spandau songs, but there are no live performances of it from what I can find, except for an audio from the 86 NEC show. Does anyone know of any other live performances of Swept that are out there. It’s a shame that such an amazing song was swept under the rug, no pun intended.
