Duran Duran are in town this week to play the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand. Want to take a guess on what this week's Transmission theme will be? Yeah, you guessed right, I had a poster of the guys in my 1982 bedroom, and I still have a framed Rio album cover in my office today. I've basically been waiting 41 years to host this show, and I hope you can join me as we celebrate the Wild Boys' return to Minnesota.
