Anyone remember these guys?


duran.jpg

Remember them? Turns out Duran Duran is still around! I just saw them on a TV show a week or so ago.

It's funny how things go full circle...one of my students (I teach college) came up to me after class the other day, when we had discussed music and the psychology of being a fan, and asked me if I had heard of this new band called Duran Duran that she had totally fallen in love with. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I used to sit 6 inches from the TV whenever their videos came on MTV...IN 1981! :lmao: :rotfl2:
 

Love the pics Chris!! Nice hair! And thanks for the proof that Pete did actually enjoy something Disney at one point! hehe :goodvibes :goodvibes

Chris, i think you win the big hair contest hands down. That is until Sonya posts hers.:rotfl:
Thanks for the intro Amanda! But we haven't seen your late 80's pics yet?? ;)

Here goes...I'm going to embarrass dh too!

Look Rog, you and Bud had matching pants!

haven't heard the word Cavarici in awhile...... I need to have a talk with Bud about his past.
 
is that missing persons?

Yes...yes it is!!

...
I do believe the last is missing persons....her name was Bussio or something like that.... I want to say her 1st name was terry but it is very fuzzy (my memory or them).
Your in the right neighborhood...DALE BOZZIO....She posed in Hustler prior to her short lived music career.

That outfit was worn in the "Words" video....
"What are words for....when no one listens anymore....what are words for...when no one listens, there no use talking at all"

You said you thought her name might be Terri....theres a good reason that name popped into your head...same exact time there was ANOTHER band with a very sexy Female lead.....

berlin.jpg


There biggest hits were THE METRO, TAKE MY BREATH AWAY, & NO MORE WORDS (apparently bands with hot blonde singers in the 80s had a negative attitude towards "words"...could it be that the singrs LOOKED better than they SOUNDED?)

Can you name that hottie? Singer or band.
 
Sonya...If Bud would have been from Louisiana, I'd SWEAR that I had partied with him. He looks just like every other hip kid in the club scene back then!!! Did he have a pocket full of xtc, too(I usually did)? Killer pics!!!!!

Correct tight rolling of the pants was an aquired skill!
 
Yes...yes it is!!

OMG Sonya!!! LOVE the pics!!!! And I thought it was only us New Yorkers who had the big hair and makeup!!! And Cavaricci???? OMG!! This is mind blowing!! Bud looked great, what a cutie!!!!!!

Keep them coming!!:cool1:

Hint on this one...this was early in his career. Soon after he had bigger hair than Chris and I put together, lol. I think we called this music "new wave" back then.
 
Rick Astley...looked like Opie Taylor, sounded like a slightly less cool Barry White!!

Hint on this one...this was early in his career. Soon after he had bigger hair than Chris and I put together, lol. I think we called this music "new wave" back then.

I can not figure this one out...I was fairly well up on new wave too....cant wait till the answer is posted!!!!

:lmao: :rotfl: :scared1: :rolleyes:
 
Oh No! Someone had better warn Ben Affleck! :rotfl: Actually I think we have a "today" celeb who could give this guy a run for his money in a much shorter time period: Amy Winehouse!
 
I LOVE this thread! Sonya and Chris your pics were great!

Exactamundo!!!

ram101's confusion of Dale Bozzio with the name TERRI was related to BERLIN's Terri Nunn.

Terri never posed for trash mags that I know of...but her lyrics would lead you to believe she invented KINKY sweaty fun!!! My kinda girl!!!
 
Top Ten reasons the 80's were a cooler time to be a teenager
than the 90's:

10. MTV actually played videos in the 80's.

09. There was only one kind of Nike tennis shoes (White with a
red swoosh), and they didn't cost $125.

08. A comb in your back pocket was more practical and less
painful than a ring through your nose.

07. In the 80's playing video games actually meant going out
to DO something.

06. In the 80's, when you were out partying, you didn't have
to worry about your Mom calling you on your cell phone.

05. In the 80s we didn't have to worry about getting our heads
blown off at school - unless you put a whole pack of Pop Rocks in
your mouth and drank a coke.

04. Debbie Gibson vs. Britney Spears. New Kids on the Block
vs. N'Sync. New Edition vs. Hanson. Ok, that one's a draw.

03. In the early 80's there were kids in your high school who
could BUY ALCOHOL LEGALLY.

02. Feathered hair was easier to care for than dreadlocks.

And the number one reason the 80's were a cooler time to grow
up than the 90's:

01. In the 80's you didn't have to worry about your pants falling
down all the time. They were so tight we couldn't get them off!
