Frightening to say, but it took little translation to figure out of which group you were speaking. You were in 6th grade during the height of DD? Yike. I need another glass of wine.

My 8 year old step son said in the car the other day, “BB, I think Duran Duran is AWESOME”.. A tear formed in my eye I was SO excited. Since he told me this I’ve shown him the Hungry Like A Wolf video. He commented that the production sucked and couldn’t understand why the quality wasn’t better. I tried to explain the 80’s and videos…he’ll get it eventually.

I saw Duran Duran in concert in the early 80’s. OMG..John in person!! I was SUCH a John Taylor freak and my BFF was in love with Simon.

This was the end of my Tiger Beat faze though..I was SO into Rex Smith, Bruce Boxleitner and Parker Stevenson..wow I just showed my age.

At the height of my D2 obsession I had 206 posters and magazine pages of the Fab Five plastered all over my walls (including several of those giant ones). I would have died to meet John, he was (and is) totally my favorite of all of them. (anybody else remember the single he did for 9 1/2 Weeks?)

And yes, Tiger Beat is still around. mk

Tiger Beat I read for the stories about Scott Baio while leafing thru making tsk tsk sounds about that loser Shaun Cassidy.

Yes it is brave for Sarah to admit her innermost feelings for Duran Duran, but I understand oddities of the heart. My first crush on a famouse person was on Chuck Scarborough, the anchor on NewsCenter4 New York. I have no idea why and don’t know to this day how to explain it.

Well, your memory is WAY better than mine. I would have had to research all of those things and I, too, loved Duran Duran and read Tiger Beat. (I just didn’t remember any of it until you mention it.)

You didn’t look any of it up huh? Well, at least you now want it to have had meaning. And you vote! So way to go! Tiger Beat – haha. Never read it myself…

Is it sad that I know all that crap too? OK, then if it’s sad for me – it’s also sad for you!

Duran Duran was my first concert (I was 12, 7th grade). We sometimes used to “miss the bus” home from school so we could walk home & stop at the store to buy Tiger Beat. By 8th grade they were replaced by Ozzy & Bon Jovi.

*Yes.

And, wow. I thought Tiger Beat died after I hit high school. If it’s STILL around, I’m sure I don’t want to know.

I loved John my own self. And LHM, I do not want to cut his bangs when i see that, so it’s not motherhood. Then again, if it weren’t for Pete, Kate Hudson’s son Ryder might have nothin’ on the little guy.

It took a lot guts to admit in an open forum to reading Tiger Beat. Even more to admit that you cut out the pictures and posted them on your wall.

And now you have children…It might be for the best that they never discover mommy’s dark secret.
