(Steady on ladies Part 2. Etc.)
Welcome, Planet Earth, I know you're Hungry Like The Wold for this week's answers... ahem, I honestly didn't set out to make this Duran Duran weekend on Saturday Snapshots, but when I found photos of both Simon Le Bon Bon and Nick Toady Rhodes with cameras, I thought I may as well get them both out of the way in the same weekend rather than inflicting them on you two weeks running.

ReplyDeleteNo, just another Duran Duran pun based on the chap at the top of the post.
DeleteWell done to the winners, a real toughie this week. I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to those Duran Duran boys, though... I bought the 12" of Save A Prayer at the time (and I still kinda like it).
ReplyDeleteAnd I worked with Simon Le Bon's cousin for a number of years (he was v nice).
Truly, you have walked among the stars, C.
DeleteLots of nice discoveries in this post. Move Closer is amazing. Dr. Hook & Nanci Griffith tunes also hit the spot.
