"Chief Sherman Iranians are pressing ahead so Trump had them on the run he had them boxed and here's the thing Michael Duran is he a brilliant about these things and he wrote a piece not too long ago and he pointed out the Obama deal did something no a the Obama deal with Iran was premised on the basis that Iran would get a nuclear weapon that the Middle East would be nuclearized that wasn't a damn thing we could do about it that we should treat this as some kind of a regional issue not an international problem even though the Iranians don't view themselves as purely regional I mean why ICBMs if that's your attitude and by the way why are bases in our hemisphere bases in our hemisphere if that's your view that it's regional so essentially Obama surrendered and then he had one propagandist after another around him lying to the American people through the media I have this in a number of my books because the evidence came out one of them couldn't keep his mouth shut he started bragging to the Washington Post it's unbelievable and he talks about how the media types were saps, lap dogs, how they would take whatever they put out and run with it just as they are today same dumb bastards so Biden comes any double downs on the Obama policies and more than that all his negotiations with the enemy the Iranians are in secret Congress has no idea what's taking place and he still wants to come up with a deal a verbal deal

Because i <Speech_Female> can. I pictured a teenager. <Speech_Female> Now rolling. Their <Speech_Female> eyes at me <Speech_Female> pontificating <Speech_Female> about duran duran <Speech_Female> i. <Speech_Female> I should say that it's really <Speech_Female> interesting. About how <Speech_Female> many younger <Speech_Female> kids. I <Speech_Female> see that are in <Speech_Female> grand. There's <Speech_Female> a lot of basis <Speech_Female> to really look <Speech_Female> up the john taylor to <Speech_Female> be very honest. <Speech_Female> Which is very gratifying. <Speech_Female> And i think one <Speech_Female> reason why the record <Speech_Female> matters is because <Speech_Female> it doesn't sound <Speech_Female> like nineteen eighty two. <Speech_Female> I mean i think there are <Speech_Female> so many records you <Speech_Female> can hear from <Speech_Female> the eighty s that because <Speech_Female> of the production and <Speech_Female> because of the <Speech_Female> technology that <Speech_Female> they were using <Speech_Female> your like your <Speech_Female> nineteen eighty-four you <Speech_Female> can hear that just by <Speech_Female> hearing a song <Speech_Female> really doesn't sound <Speech_Female> like that because <Speech_Female> obviously <Speech_Female> there is a little <Speech_Female> bit of technology involved. <Speech_Female> This was a rock <Speech_Female> band going in and playing <Speech_Female> their <Speech_Female> songs. And you <Speech_Female> hear that. It sounds <Speech_Female> really <Speech_Female> really strong. <Speech_Female> One person we didn't <Speech_Female> mention was colin thurston. <Speech_Female> And <Speech_Female> you know he produced and mixed <Speech_Female> the record. And i think that's also <Speech_Female> a testament to him <Speech_Female> is that he <Speech_Female> worked with the band <Speech_Female> and he really <Speech_Female> helped create the sound. <Speech_Female> That was just really <Speech_Female> timeless. So <Speech_Female> i think that matters <Speech_Female> for starters. The <Speech_Female> album represents <Speech_Female> confidence. <Speech_Female> It represents a band <Speech_Female> who were like you know <Speech_Female> what we are going to <Speech_Female> make a pretty big <Speech_Female> progression from <Speech_Female> our debut <Speech_Female> and do something completely <Speech_Female> different but it <Speech_Female> really represents risk <Speech_Female> taking honestly <Speech_Female> durand could have just <Speech_Female> done the same stuff over <Speech_Female> and over again and probably <Speech_Female> had hits and burned <Speech_Female> out in nineteen <Speech_Female> eighty-four and <Speech_Female> we wouldn't be here today <Speech_Female> but they really said <Speech_Female> we're going to move forward. <Speech_Female> We're going to be kind of. <Speech_Female> We're gonna try something <Speech_Female> different. That's another <Speech_Female> reason why it matters <Speech_Female> because it's really a testament <Speech_Female> to like. Hey this is an <Speech_Female> eighties record. That <Speech_Female> just really sort <Speech_Female> of lingers in the <Speech_Female> and really endorse <SpeakerChange> because <Speech_Female> of that. I <Speech_Female> think also just because the instrumentation <Speech_Female> i mean. We've <Speech_Female> talked about this a little <Speech_Female> bit but every <Speech_Female> single person <Speech_Female> every single musician <Speech_Female> on that record. <Speech_Female> India and iran <Speech_Female> was just kind of the <Speech_Female> height of their games <Speech_Female> really. It's kind <Speech_Female> of a masterclass <Speech_Female> and here's how you do really <Speech_Female> cool baseline. <Speech_Female> Here's how you do <Speech_Female> something really interesting with <Speech_Female> keyboards guitars. <Speech_Female> Simon lebron <Speech_Female> was a fan <Speech_Female> of gordon. Lightfoot <Speech_Female> and he said that tito <Speech_Female> took a little <Speech_Female> bit of influence <Speech_Female> for that. Like <Speech_Female> what <Speech_Female> i told you. It's the sermon <Speech_Female> but just the matinee <Speech_Female> too. I <Speech_Female> mean semantically this <Speech_Female> record touches on <Speech_Female> love it touches <Speech_Female> on bromance touches <Speech_Female> on beat <Speech_Female> at a party and being unsure <Speech_Female> of yourself <Speech_Female> it touches audio <Speech_Female> see new places <Speech_Female> for the first time <Speech_Female> it touches on <Speech_Female> so many different things <Speech_Female> that if you're a teenager <Speech_Female> duran duran <Speech_Female> was really describing what <Speech_Female> it was like to kind of grow <Speech_Female> up and <Speech_Female> really you know.

"Were doing this with many many bands to be fifty. Two's as well they had. Ap's if you wanna take a chance on a band can pay a little bit less money and that kinda helped. So they got the carnival ep out there and then people started plated so it was such a long process but date david really was instrumental in saying. Hey you know. He didn't do much to it but i interviewed him. He was like we didn't do a terrible amount to it. You know we rebalanced it because he was really good at keeping the essence of made the song great and just kind of bringing out different elements of it is like. I don't recall anything very difficult about it. It was just one of those things where we worked with very straightforward and simple because it was not that the song is simple but he was like it was a really good experience basically. I definitely hear it. One of my complaints and i said this to john early when we were talking to durant durant i said what am i issues with. That i record is the thinness of the mix. I said john taylor such a great bass player. But i can barely hear his base work. But this remix stuff. That david kirshenbaum did. He clearly brought all of that to the front. Same with andy. Taylor's guitar work so it was much more upfront. A grooved an rocked and the same time. And obviously i heard these songs billion over. So i can kind of ab test them in my mind. And no and herald subtleties that. Come out but for rock radio at the time bringing that guitar a little farther up in the mix may have sealed the deal for at least rock radio and say okay there the guitars now. We can play it. That's exactly it. What did rock radio. what could they relate to. They could relate to louder guitars. They could relate to grooves keyboards still a little bit. Still benefit you know in. Nick rhodes influences. I mean he loved work. He loved brian eno and so he has. He's really amazing. Groundbreaking cool sounding keyboard parts which radio again. It was like but you know but they understood. Guitarist named understood baselines and so yet making them kind of full like that and just just sort of kind of tricking people into this is bad. All right that helps so much. Because i mean andy's influences he loved you know everything. Radio play you sell the van halen black sabbath the infamous seventy eight uk to he liked jeff back you like youth richards jimi hendrix. I believe so. He liked all of those influences. That people in america liked definitely shows on their on their records. Insurance it's a subtle thing but for those whose ears tuned to that lane. The upcoming rocker. So i hear it very much. I'm like yeah i can. I can hear this guy. His influences as refuge. And all that stuff so we go to john for his last question. Oh john and he. Can you talk a bit about the iconic rio album cover by patrick nagel now when i bought the record back in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when it came out. You couldn't escape patrick. Nagel prints they were everywhere in southern california. One of my college roommates at san diego state even drew the rio album. Cover for me as a birthday present. It was everywhere now. That's a brilliant package for a sophomore album..

He saw the potential for he was like. I see what this is showing the other aspect of radio. I don't think i was able to get deeply into the book about this was. Mtv was getting preferential treatment and mtv was getting videos before radio. Radio did not like that. They viewed it as competition. And that's so funny in hindsight because it will fees into each other. You know people are discovering new music on mtv than they wanna hear it on the radio exemplary. It should work together but at the time there was that little bit of divisiveness and everyone was kind of at odds because as we know what the music industry in general changes hard and very looked on with skepticism. Or another question for john. So he's a question about duran duran's videos. Every mtv sensor literally considered videos for rio and hungry like the wolf softcore porn that did the band pander to this notion on purpose or were the offended to some degree by that inference and again. I'll take my answer off the air. Thank you john any you know. I think he might be mixing that up with girls on film. So girls on film was from the band's debut and it was like fall of eighty one not far before rio came out girls on phil. That's how d- rand got a lot of attention in america got i. That's the video where there was nudity. There were some kind of suggestive situations. Go at on and that little bit even even now when you watch it. You're like this is pretty steamy. This is a little too people kind of remember that it had to be edited. And i don't think there's ever been a definitive answer about exactly who edited. What's at how much to be edited out. I think there's a bunch of things floating around but the whole thing about music video at that time. Is that people were just trying. Think people were just sort of mississippi. What would sticks. Let's just try this idea because it wasn't really established. The uk use music videos dating back to the mid seventies with queen. And you had kate bush doing some really groundbreaking things but there wasn't really a culture of music video In america yet..

"Of that so i kind of learned about their ninety stuff in their eighty stuff. Around the same time ordinary world was a pretty big record for them. I mean i was working in radio at the time and played a lot. It held a long shelf life. You know they had things called currents which is obviously the current music becomes a recurrent when it starts falling down off the charts but then it becomes quote unquote an oldie. It's just a terminology. They use which means that. It's dropped off the charts but it's still getting some life and it just seemed ever go away. It's one of those songs that it's so random. Ranan away i mean to me but for rio itself and your book you talk about being in school band and listening to the a library. Copy think you took it for a home from the library. Cassette dub of it is that right. I did because i was at her. I didn't have a lot of disposable income. The rio cd. If i recall was really hard to find that. I'm not sure if it's just because between pressings but for whatever reason rio to me was kind of this like elusive thing but i did. I took a copy out of the library. And i dumped it on cassette. I still have the cassette tape today. And i listened to it on my little walkman in concert band. We've get my fair lady. I totally was in the pit. Orchestra sat there and listened in between between sets all bands have their origin stories in. You have your origin story with this band and how you kinda got introduced to them. But what's duran duran's origin story did. Did the guys know each other. You know like lifelong friends like youtube. They went to junior high high school with each other. Or was it something else. There's a little element of that. So they started in birmingham england at it was john. Taylor and nick rhodes who were childhood friends. And like a lot of kids they bonded over muzak roxy music in bowie they would actually go to record stores together. You know like like kids and go shopping together which is very sweet and so naturally what comes next after you know you. See all these Stars you ought to form a band yourself. So they formed a band and they basically went cycled through a whole time to different people. Stephen duffy more famous for the lilac time and Ten basically. Yeah he he was in the band at one point and he was. And i think there's a floating around. Maybe you know but like they took a little bit to Define their sweet spot..

Mike is on assignment to a small unnamed. Latin america country where his job is to train a new underwater demolition team in the opening underwater scenes. Mike is with two other divers and there are placing underwater charges. Mike says that in wartime the underwater soldier only has his blade and bundle of explosives. Well when the charges go off you see the divers being violently tossed about but they're okay. They were just far enough away from the concussion back on the boat. Mike tells us that he has started with twenty men but now he is down to their.

Mike confronts scenario storms out. Mike is worried about this little dictator but president duran assures in he was a soldier and all will be well now. We're back on the boat. Where mike still has his hands. Full with a rivalry between tomasz an indio underwater thomason indio get into a fight by training. Mike forces them to the surface. Thomas toes indio that if he kicks him again like that he'll cut his throat. Mike tells ended. They gotta learn to work together to now. Tomas asks to go sure to go on a date with dawn comes trouble. Speedboat approaches the argonaut with a colonel. Who tells them that. President duran has been abducted by solano and being held in an island. Four miles offshore. What can you do ask the kernel. We'll think of something. Mike replies give us until noon. And if you haven't heard from us by then you've never will. The next thing we see is tomasz on the radio and he is talking to survive at the fort. The revolutionary traitor to l. president. He tells them that there will be an underwater attack. Now as mike in dior getting ready their gear we see tomas sneaking a flare gun into his rig back underwater. The three divers are set for a long swim with patrol boats circling around. So mike takes the boys deep into the channel to create a diversion. Mike sends up a surface marker buoy with a time fused bomb on it when it goes off. The fort thinks it's a pto and savannah. Realizes mike nelson is on his way. President they durant says. Mike nelson is an extraordinary man to which ivano replies. He's an extraordinary gag. Man you see. The revolutionaries have set up a concrete and steel screen across the channel. The only way through is to blast but they wanna confused patrol boats and the floor so they set off a series of bombs in different locations while they blow up the screen. One two three bombs go off in the guards and savannah are confused with a concrete and steel screen blown apart. Mike leads the divers through just then tomasz takes off. Where's he going. He makes his way to the sea wall and is ready to fire off his flare gun to signal the four when mike jumped him they didn't tie tomasz to a floating rafts off the island and set off a smoke bomb again to confuse the revolutionaries mike and i had to the other side of the island. They're getting shallower and shallower into a mike. Pops his head up all clear and they get out of the water and ditched her scuba gear. The raft trick worked by tells indio and he tells them to keep them busy while he gets el presidente. Indio starts tossing grenades. all around. the guards are shooting at everything. Now we see.

"I did not realize that had been played so few times because it was. They played it like early early on. I didn't realize that had fallen out of rotation so it was never in rotation apparently because eighteen times in Total that's that's not a lot. That's like i mean to me. That's also one of my favorite songs on the record. It's you know it's such a beautiful song at it's so maybe maybe it's too emotional to talk i. It's like was one of the songs i know the most and so you haven't had a music video even you know i don't think necessarily necessarily got airplay. It was on the video album. Of course. But i'm not sure if it got airplay. The old saying is never meet your idols. What has it been like to meet these guys. Except i guess you haven't met simon or have you could take back. I did so like on the pop trash tour. I ended up having a meet. Greet passes and so i had. I have a copy of rio by simon. Nick and warren and i honestly don't remember a thing about it. I have pictures. But i don't remember meeting. I have no recollection of like. I'm sure we said hello. I'm sure i was very nervous. It's weird because you think. I can go back and other times be like i remember reading this rockstar. And they were great. I have no recollection. So no one was a jerk. Timmy or else. Because i would have remember that you know. It was totally fine but no. I talked him on the phone and they're all everyone is lovely honestly. I interviewed nick and john before over the years to be like you know. Show previews and stuff like that. And they're lovely. Everybody's very thoughtful and everyone i said you know might might take away from and his. They're very very perceptive about themselves. And not every musician is like that and like i said i've interviewed hundreds of musicians. They are very meticulous and they understand their own work very well and i. That's massive strength. Who's you're writing a book about someone you know. It's very helpful to kind of have those insights. Sometimes you're interviewing musicians and tell me about this record. And they're like well. You know they give platitudes and cliches. But everybody was extremely thoughtful and detail about the record and and about themselves and so i think that's one reason why i think duran duran has been around for so long because they are very thoughtful about their own music and career. You know they do a lot of social media stuff. You can tell her that. They're very lovely. People get other good to fans and things like that more people should know that about them about how not just not just the caretakers of their image and their music but that they are you know as you say meticulous about it because that's a big a big selling point for band you know. They're not just pretty boys. You know in a video that they that the care that goes into it. Think you're completely right. And i think you know for many years. People didn't see that. And you still hear people say that. Sometimes you know when you hear certain people say oh duran duran that pop and my sister life but nothing could be further from the truth honestly and you see more and more people now. It's starting to very interesting doing kind of a lot of social media book promotion which musicians have been like you might tweets and see you know saying things like your fan. I can see your nick. Rhodes recently got a honored. Rowlands lifetime achievement award. He basically had testimony else and it was like. This is your life. Nick rhodes your people congratulating you at it was from the people you might expect with unders. People like all these metal. Has i think it was the guy from dream theater was talking about like you know nick and some just like how great is that. There's all these metal heads that like. Duran duran they have a lot of. They're getting a lot more respect for years. I've thought that they need to be in the hall of fame and just doing this book just like cemented that for me one thousand percent when you look at their influence in the music they made and just everything over the years and especially with rock music getting in and the cure and depeche mode. It's time it's like long overdue for them to get in. Actually i have one little. I put together. When i was listening to rio is like all right. I'm gonna put. I have this five second medley. Let's see if you can pick out these three songs game. Show yes all right. Let's go write three songs. Guests is hungry like the wolf and then David pryor and then rio yeah. That was my doodoo trivia question. Hey i know well well as listening to they all. I mean thanks to to anti i was you know. Wrote rediscovering this album then all of sudden like oh yeah look i remember. Simon loves to do a lot. I love it. That's like scatting. Simon scanning feel like theater background drama student. And you know you have that you can tell that musical theater bitten him comes out. That's one of the reasons by duran. Duran is so great fearless as a as frontman everything everything you need to be as a charismatic frontman gets the bill to. We love him still to this day. Yeah thank you so much. This is really nice. Wanna find so much. I appreciate you reaching out. Yes so much for doing this. Great and we can call you friend of the show so in case of an emergency we can We can reach out to. You can call a friend. I could be one of your lifelines perfect. How good okay. Best of luck with With the book. I look forward to getting into it. Gonna that's gonna be a great read awesome. I'm looking forward to people seen it okay. So that concludes our talk. With annie's leschi had a great time. I seem to remember why we created this music. Podcast is that We like to nerd out about music and certain albums think we found someone. Who's a lot like us. This is exactly the reason. We started this podcast. I loved talking about this. I know you did too but talk about rio forever. And i really liked the way. She laid out the book for roadmap of rio in house of recording. The album came together. Said it was really really great. And i love hearing about how how. She had to submit the proposal. And i'm just imagining you know. How many people. She was up against zachary. And that's why we do. This podcast is to learn these things. So we've we've learned a little we've thrown a little. I think we're a little more mature now after talking with anti who's was extremely well versed in this subject so and we now have a new friend of the show so that's exciting as well versed in this subject.

"A cigarette. Or a zippo lighter. Mom glasses clinking. You can hear that later in the song like it's very you know it's it's a little bit fancy and not so i think he have actually feels depend headphones. Another like a great thing about the record. I mean you if you listen to it on headphones all those little things pop. It was a lot of little things buried in the mix. It's also a really wonderful mix. You know a lot of times a lot of songs. It's very surface than you here at once. You understand it and there's a lot a lot to this record is. There's a lot of depth of this record that i think makes it very Very resonant interesting that During this radio. Special that i just heard they. They mentioned that they The label wanted last chance on the stairway as a single like the next single the follow up to rio. I think what was the first. The first single was hungry like the west so after after hungary they follow that up with the last chance on the stairway which would have been. I don't know if that would have been a good choice. But to the kind of interesting what could have been. Yeah well. I mean i guess. They filmed the Yeah i don't. I mean that's what's so funny about it is that i mean on one hand. It's like cycle via every song on the record a single but yet on the other hand like that's really moody like even think about all the songs that were popular in nineteen eighty two and nineteen eighty-three. Especially you know that was that would have been. That's like a cool song. Echo on the bunny might have made or you know kinda the the post punk bands coming out like that. Would that would have placed. Duran duran kind of that. You know kind of grouping sort of thing but yeah. I couldn't in hindsight you're like no. It's cool very cool song. But it's a very odd choice. If the if that had happened you wonder what would have happened with it. I don't know that it would have altered their trajectory. But you never know because rio rocketed. It wasn't just the music the audio part there was. There's a little bit of visual going on and that wasn't mtv that launched it. We grew up in los angeles. We listened to kiro q. And k. roku play in eighty-one they They play girls on film which charted it also chartered again and eighty two girls on film. They were starting to build up. And this guy. I don't know when mtv are really pushing these videos but like the first video hungry like the wolf. The history behind that video of the band went to sri lanka so basically they ended up. They finished rio and literally. Nick rhodes like finished like mixing the record and hopped a plane and went to sri lanka in early april and they filmed videos there. They filmed If i'm hungry like the wolf they filmed a little bit of lonely in your nightmare. They filmed a little bit of safe prayer. And so then. I mean this is like they're like ridiculous schedule from sri lanka. They went to australia and then they went to japan. And then you know. I think they basically went home to england and then the record came out may so they were doing all of this stuff so but hungry like the wolf is pretty much like they knew. They were going to film the video. That was a very deliberate choice with interest in is at so. Mtv and duran duran they really the groundwork for a relationship though. Mtv launched in august of eighty one and they have really already been talking like well before we came out. And it's funny because finding proof of you know i've watched. I've tried to find his much like nineteen eighty-one and tv video could and they did. Some of their early videos did get airplay. I found press references to it. I found press references from early. Eighty two Where a record store in pennsylvania said you know yeah. We're selling a lot of grandeur and records and in late eighty-one to in cleveland. I mean i mean basically at that time the most of the bands that had Videos were british because you know music videos. There was such diversity of culture in the uk for that you know there was some american bands like reo speedwagon and in some more You know i guess. Aor bands had videos but it was a lot of british fans so hungry like the wolf. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion. I think that it was added. And i actually found proof that it was added in july of eighty-two early early july nineteen eighty two there's a reference that was basically put into rotation. It's hard to tell how many times it was spun but at least it was added. Mtv rio was actually ended. Mtv two in september of eighty two. So i mean yeah duran duran Really started taking off. I on mtv and radio came later. there were some stations like karak that were playing You know there was. I found a a Really a nice little a couple of air checks for like july eighty two. They were playing. The band was more they play. I think the greek theater yes. I'd like really. Yeah and so that you know so. They were definitely getting airplay and cause. La was always super cool ahead of the curve. But yeah. I mean they were huge on. Mtv and then radio they really started hitting rock radio in like but basically thanksgiving eighty two and then by early nineteen eighty-three they've finally kind of conquered that with the walls and then everything will serve exploded from there but yeah mtv they were just getting like so much airplay and they were selling records in areas where there were mtv was popular and it was wired and cities had it to andrew selling records and a lot of other places and i talked to a lot of people did a lot of research and it was like if you shopped in this neighborhood. That didn't have mtv selling andrew records but if it was a coun- where there were you know mtv we were totally selling like tons of them. So it's i mean it's it's so it's so funny to think about now because everything is so different now but that's kind of how it was. It was such a slow rollout in america at least who designed the clothing or what. What was the victim. Was the band's vision on what they want like. Let's go to an exotic locale. Was that the band or was it. The directors like oh. Here's what we have to do. I don't know if you've ever read the book. There's a book that just came out by dillon. jones about the new romantic seen and read. Yeah it's it's really good you'll you'll love it was that always duran duran's look just know. Just beautiful we could hear. What's funny is that. So i think the idea to go to sri lanka. Those locations i think was their management. They're management definitely had kind of cinematic visions and the band were down for that because they were like sure. You know you're a young band up for adventure but funny at fashion. Shame so dramatically in there. I i guess three years. I would say you know. Because i think in eighty-one they were a little bit. You know they were doing the new romantic kind of pirate. Look it was kinda slow up. You know. It was very funny. It was You know but then they got a little bit more casual than they got their anthony price suits and so you can see some of the very very early. Like rio press footage. They're wearing their sue sterile. Beautiful colors and things like that and then you know as they kind of got a little bit more popular like early. Nineteen eighty-three photos. They're like you know they look like clean cut like i don't even know like almost preppy. I guess percents But they were all there all so photogenic. I mean it really didn't matter they wore. They were all young and they were all good looking. You know so. Obviously that they had a huge advantage because of that. And i don't think they ever took like a bad picture. So that's an advantage you know and there were because there were five of them then it's sort of like if you were in one style. There was a member of duran. Duran for you if you were to another style. There's a grander and you know it was spice girls. Obviously you know everyone kind of laughed sporty spice and scary spice and all sorts of stuff like that. But you know there's whoever was marketing the spice girls like they completely got it. They completely got y. You know people have phantom. But i mean that goes back to the beatles. Palsy keep one. Whose team.

"But they're all done in such a way that they're just the arrangements. Perfect they're all. They're all perfectly balanced and a lot of bands they would be crashing into each other and it would be kinda loud and stuff but it's all very meticulous and deliberate and you hear that especially on rio. I think especially throughout the whole album favorites on this. Well yeah well. Actually i was just gonna touch on. It was a record. And i love the. I think the reason it's good is a kind of didn't like the cd era because everyone kind of wanted to fill it up with seventy minutes worth of music and that's not necessarily a good thing for an album. This has nine songs on it. And i just i love how it just it kicks off with rio which is just like you like you said this is an adventure you know immediately as it starts off like oh my god. We're going for over a journey. I had actually written something. Like as i as i was looking at the lyrics like one of my favorites it was almost remind me of like springsteen lyric daddy nearly you down at the end of the drive. The lawmen arrive. You make me feel alive alive alive. I mean that's like that's epic you wanna do like that springsteen thing like i you know on crested that line to think about it. It's just like it's perfect like it's just pretended winning crescendo. And you know you're mean before. I think before you know you'd have like the beat drop on like songs but it's crest and then it just like lays into like the end of the song like it's perfect just. Yeah the dynamics of that song especially as perfect of that line too. Yeah it's just you know. That's the sequencing of the album. Which was definitely you know. No accident near grander. You will tell you be the first ones to tell you. Yeah we are. Very careful about. Sequencing and rio was sequence perfectly. You know and that's especially on vinyl. Basically i mean it's you know. Flip it over like it's a marble that sense because i was the chauffeur. Yes exactly. that's why. Because i was looking i was thinking sequencing too but But i just listened to. Because i think you posted it them talking about it was like a radio special. It was like nine minutes of them talking about the album each song but they mentioned that side one was mainly pop songs and that side to conceptual. And that's how they've envisioned it at. What's funny about that though is that it's totally conceptual. But they also all working pop songs you know. Sometimes you hear band ceo. We're going to have side to throw the all experimental stuff is your dislike. You never go to the side to because you're like oh it's a little much but like you songs were so great. I mean saver. Prior was onside to rio. I mean which is you know. Such a one of their best songs. You know. they're amazing ballot. But it is kind of the movie or stuff. The kind of there's a little bit more experimentation on side two But it works. It's perfect. Can i ask you why we would save a prayer for simon. Instead of it's it's about a one night stand. She sees him she sees him. It was kind of like standing on the corner of winslow arizona or something like so this woman. This woman sees him and they have won nightstand. Then he's he's back on the road or something like save a prayer for me now like i never understood that. It's hard to know where you know the urges that song come from. But i think that's very i mean sadly i e it's kind of romanticizing that a little bit because yeah if you're having a one night stand with someone they leave you that's like that's like the opposite of romance might. It was like a perfect night. And you're like both both everyone and both people are like i'm good. This is perfect. Gonna we're not going to ruin it by doing something else. I totally get that and romance vermont. Two sizes a little bit. You know you don't know if.

"But you are right this you called it a perfect pop album and i have forgotten. I listen. I have songs. Some of these are on that. I listened to regularly but listen to it as an album a a week or two ago. And you're right. It is perfect and so much more. Perfect than i remembered. And what you're talking. You're talking about them being. You know exactly what you're saying you know passionate it's new and everything so exciting and you really hear that on the album and it's like and that's what i think you know it resonated with people then and now it's just like it is so exciting i mean you. Could you listen so much music in the early eighty s that i still love. You know. there's there's it's very meditative and very dour and you know it's a good reason you we said we talk about the cure. All the early eighties were so records. Were so gloomy. And i love them because they're gloomy and you know inter inter and had their moving to but there is something about rio. That's just you know ecstatic. They were trying to capture that feeling of possibility in its escapism. And it's excitement about their own lives but you know i think it's also brilliant about the record. Is that no lot of bands. They you know they'll write about you know i'm on the road. This is very exciting. Very literal and simon is such an interesting vocalist lyricist that he channeled all that stuff kind of you know i think someone in the book call them kind of surreal lyrics and i totally agree with that. They're kind of abstract and surreal to their their their sketches or poetic sketches. More than anything. You know reading of the lyrics. I'm dislike still trying to figure out some of these things you can tell the gist of but it's one hundred percent you can't see but it is exciting and so listenable because of that then you know it's so fun you put it on. You want to get on the dance floor you know. That's why i think people still like it too because you know reminds them of happy times but it's also just a really listenable album to without the musicianship though because you watch them you know. You're you're transfixed with their video you know on their videos but they play their players. They are they're really good. And that's i think another thing that that came up when i was Doing the book that. I talked to john taylor. Roger taylor nick rhodes and also andy taylor for the book and you know they came up. I think when talking to john is that you know everybody on that album. Every musician had their corner. Everybody had their parts and everybody was really kind of at their peak. And you really hear that. And but i think the brilliant thing about it is that they didn't play over each other. The arrangements are so you think of a song like new religion. That has that which is actually probably my. I think.

"Wedding album. But it's weird is that you know i like the. It's one of the band like always felt like they were there though. Because i feel like i at the same time i feel like maybe. Vh one must have played rio and hungry like the wolf because video is just. It's so familiar to me. Every time i see it. I know every cranny and obviously i've read it on youtube but it just. They're just they've always been there. It's almost like there is such a heart pop culture in america that you know i just sort of you know. They're just such a steady presence. So what did your bedroom look like in while you were in high school. What did you have posters. And the who who are on the walls to put stuff on my wall this was. This was the argument that i would have a parrot. Hey i wanted to eight one of my bedroom walls black and they did not like that. There was so i know opposite. Sides might my favorite bands were rem the smiths duran. Duran you too. And i probably like echo on the those. Were like all of my biggies as a kid my reward. Yeah i was kind of a weird kid. And that you know. I i liked all the grunge know the contemporary stuff but i was also big eighties fan so okay so i couldn't paint my bedroom. All black mums. So we compromised. I had like a wall like wallpaper. That was kind of gray scale. But i wasn't allowed to just like stick stuff on the walls you know. So i had like a frame. Beatles poster and a framed rem poster. i had. I had to be classy in had look like art. Yeah exactly you know i had. That was the rule by parents. Mike okay know. In my locker. I had a picture of i had like a photocopied picture of michael stipe. A i think. That's that's i'm trying to remember but that's what i would do. I would like our school. Library had like issues of rolling stone. So i would like that out. Like i remember reading the eighty four rolling stone brand on the cover. And i remember downloading pictures of this new right when we got on the internet like my modem downloading vintage pictures of like all these bands including culture club and duran duran. And so. that's what i would do like instead of having stuff on my wall. I would have it on my computer like on a folder saved which is a very funny kind of ninety s thing to do. I think i wanted alex. Dorm had pictures everywhere. And i think you know they were in hindsight. It was such a pain to put up and take down because you had that little tact because yeah because you can put the thumb tack in those back door like that. Yeah yeah that's so. I've got my revenge on my parents then so okay. So what about your peers. Suddenly you're like all into everyone's it's not. I'm sure you're asked this lot ninety mid-nineties friends type stuff you know hootie and the blowfish and better than ezra and all this other like pop rock and lilith fair things and you're listening to the cure and it was funny. Because i i grew up in. I grew up in suburban ohio. So i guess like a suburb of cleveland and i was definitely like the weird. Like a weird i mean i was. You know i was like the big english know reading fan. And i was big into english and math and stuff like that so i was like i was a good student so i was kind of a nerd Nerdy student marching band But then played the flute mice. But yeah i was. Like i remember i. It's funny. I have like distinct memories that i had a bandanna and i would tie it around my jeans leg to like because like they did in the eighties. I don't even know where i saw that. Maybe it was in like a steamy video. I have no idea. It was choksi from the chachi. From happy days. I believe did that. I have no idea. Why did this. But i would tie it around my leg. That's what i would wear to school. I'd have my jeans. And i'd have the banner fights life because apparently wanted to live in the eighty s. So it was very. It was very funny. Yeah it was definitely very weird. My musical tastes were very different than a lot of my friends. Musical tastes like you know i. I've always had really kind of veracious musical tastes. I love metallica. And i loved and i love tori emotes and things like that but it was definitely the eighties was like my sweet spot. You know my dad had a lot of tapes like he loved the cars and the pretenders and the police and so you know. I borrowed a lot of his tapes and listen to but that was what i enjoy listening to you that go-goes for whatever reason. I've always really gravitated toward that music. That's great though. So now you've got you've got something cool to write about and this book that you have this book thirty three and a third book about duran duran's rio what is that. How do you get this thirty. Three in the third book series is great. I love these all these books. What do you do to say. You know like raise your hand. Look i want to write about this book. How does that work. Basically have an open call for pitches and may have a on their website. I don't remember it offhand. But it's basically like here's a book proposal and here's what we want you to include You know it's kind of like you know two to three pages on why you want to write the book a little bit of our their books by this ours coming out some sample. You know sample pages so you basically have to. You know like a paragraph about what the books about so. It's basically putting a lot of thought into a proposal and so this. I don't even remember if this was maybe two thousand eighteen. Maybe i think that's when the proposal was. Maybe there was a call for proposals. And so i have been pitching rio for years before the irish should at least twice if not three times. I pitched it in two thousand seven. I think for the first time. And so i've always had it in the back of my mind. I want to write about this. I want to write about this. And i i was i was like i think i was busy. And i was working on something. And so i wasn't necessarily going to pitch this round that a friend of mine's like yeah. I'm not going to. But i was like you know what i should. I should just do it and so like right before the deadline. I my old puzzle. And i looked at it and i tore it up a little bit and start thinking about it a little bit more and basically sat down and wrote it and you know i got like it was a couple months later. I got an email saying congratulations. We're going to publish it. And i was just like i was like shaking. The album is a besides being amazing and wonderful story behind it. And i've always really believed in it. And i've really always believed in grander an and so i mean i. I've been telling people make. This is like a dream. Come true but it's like literally like a career dream. Come true not knowing the process before i would think it would be like winning the lottery. You know not and it is. It's very very competitive. There you know. I think they generate they get hundreds of proposals each time. I think whatever you know what. I'd done it before and so i think whatever it is. I finally was able to articulate to someone else because it's it's like celie basically flowing herself near selling an idea you know and i'm a freelance journalist. And so you do that. All the time. You're putting together pitches together and it takes skill and sometimes you were. Sometimes it works and you hit and sometimes you don't and so. I finally landed on the right combination. I was able to kind of say and be persuasive enough. And i think it's timing too. You know. i think when i first started pitching yoder andrea really. Didn't get as much respect as eighty now. And i think over the last decade or so. Especially you've seen people you know. They've gotten a lot more respect musically and just from a lot of different places and i think the timing was also right that and i think for new wave two people are released starting to look at new wave vans. You know like the gogo is in the care and saying yeah these like artistically these really important acts and so i think that helps a little bit too. That people are finally starting to give away the credit that it's long been do. So you have your next one your next pitch for them lined up you know i. It's funny because i'm i'm working on a book on the b fifty. Two's as well at the same time. Actually for university of texas press. And so i've been working on duran duran and fifty twos and so i have like my you know new wave. They only let you right one for the thirty three two third series and i would. I haven't billion ideas you know. It was but not every album. Because it's you know these books are just about what album you know. And it's sometimes it can be difficult to think you're writing. Almost forty thousand words on one album has been album is a good story to tell okay. So we're going to consider this a album and you just listen to side wine which has glorious side to is even better so stick with us and we will be right back to continue our discussion of duran duran's real on the. What.

"They didn't do a good job at giving credit. Though that was new problem was more than managing. Sir okay so. I heard something interesting about john bonham. Who's like you know top drummer in the world. But he was saying that or people who analyze them said that he would go off. Jimmy page's guitar. He would follow the guitarist as the lead. Where a lot of drummers follow basis or they they sync up with bases no before jovan dumbest jealous. Listen to butch the good dramas. Listen everybody jason bonham's nixon this. If he listened to what if you hit away the place he doesn't get into labor in place very white. he's everybody yeltsin. Loves place. Like that's what i've heard so in a lot of your interviews jo-ellan i listen to and read a lot of on you. And it seems like you. Follow that same philosophy and drummers drummers listen to drums aren't listening to the song and jonas place in the bedroom bring us off. what's at somebody like hood easing slightly different way of doing it. More syncopated ways but but a great plays guide the Steve jordan f. You can count them. I mean this. This looks great guy klay flights now. Did you ever get intimidated by.
