Coffee Break: Appreciating Duran Duran
by Sean McPherson and Christy Taylor
August 10, 2021
Happy Duran Duran appreciation day!
Why is today Duran Duran appreciation day? Well, that depends on who you ask. Some say it was created by YM Magazine, others say it was created by a DJ from Michigan, and others say it's because it's the anniversary of Simon Le Bon being in a near-fatal boating accident. Whatever the truth is, Duran Duran were part of the second British invasion and have sold over 100 million albums.
We'll take any reason to celebrate Duran Duran in the way we do best - with music!
