Clarence Rosario: October 16, 2006 -- "New Moon On Monday"

"New Moon On Monday" by Duran Duran

Damn, it's been a month since I contributed. A thousand pardons, perhaps I've been pre-occupied with this bit of business.

But I'm back, with a doozy. No idea how this one popped up. Last week, I had "Just a Thought" by Gnarls Barkley going through my head, which includes the disturbing lines "And I've tried / Everything but suicide / But it's crossed my mind". Nothing could be further from my mind, of course, but the song does have a sweet break beat in the middle of the verse. Anyhooo...

At first, you'd think that there would be a correlation with this song and it being Monday and all. Or that it's a new moon today (it's not, it was on the 11th). No idea. But it certainly belies my deep-rooted past interest in Duran Duran: it was the first "real" concert I ever saw, at the Fabulous Forum in LA no less. I don't count seeing Melvin and the Meateaters -- the band my 6th grade math teacher was a roadie for in Texas -- as my first real concert. Go figure.

Comments:
Man this reminds me of freshman year in highschool!! I was friendly with a group of girls who did nothing but discuss Duran Duran. They would hold debates on who had the cutest hair, who they would marry, who was the hottest. UGH! It all made me hate that band.

Why waste your time on a British boy you would never meet when you could harbor a secret crush on a hot senior who would never even know you existed?

Things were so simple then...and now I have Duran Duran on my iPod.

And if truth be told? John was the cutest...not that I would have admitted that to ANYONE!
 
I saw them in Golden Gate Park in SF three summers ago, and chicks were *still* showing Simon their cans. 35 year-old chicks, but nonetheless.
 
You really want to insult your one reader?

Don't make the 30 something chicks sad!!
 
That's a pretty funny exchange. Is this "community"?
 
It's a community...a fightin' community.
 
Hey, I love 30-something chicks! I especially when they are younger than me. I moved to NYC for one, so trust me, I'm down with your demographic. Especially when that demographic comprises the entirety of my readership.

Viva La Community!
 
LOL!!

You got me. Now I'll be a life long reader.
 
Aiight, mamma, you're on.
