Duran Duran still playing, still writing, still happy Two favorite quotes: What songs have you put out to pasture for this tour? JT: There are not many songs we can’t play.

That is the new “play the fookin’ bass” anthem. Alma...
Katy Krassner: What’s your favorite thing about being on the road? John Taylor: Well, playing every night. I love it, it’s like, all the noise in my head stops for two hours.
