Delve into the Secret Life of Duran Duran

I am a big Duran Duran fan, and have been follwing their careers and attending their concerts since they first arrived on the music scene in the early 1980's. The book I have been eagerly anticipating, In the Pleasure Groove:  Love, Death & Duran Duran by John Taylor, has finally been published and released in the United States and has arrived at the library!  The book's author is the bassist for Duran Duran, who has undergone his own metamorphosis. Shy Taylor, born Nigel John, wasn't an obvious choice for pop stardom and being lusted after by frenzied groups of girls.  When Duran Duran formed in 1978, they were an immediate success and all five members were thrust into the limelight.  In this frank memoir, John Taylor recalls the highs of life with Duran Duran--including hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and James Bond, dating Vogue models and driving fast cars--as well as glorious nights playing with the band and the self-destructive behaviors that brought him to the edge before he turned his life around.  This memoir is told with humor, honesty and wisdom and is packed with exclusive pictures.  I especially enjoy that the book is up-to-date and ends with a chapter about the last leg of their recent tour, in April 2011.  For more information on John Taylor, connect with him online at www.facebook.com/thisistherealJT or www.twitter.com/thisistherealJT or with Duran Duran at www.facebook.com/duranduran or www.duranduran.com  If you want to talk about the band, or share your own concert experiences, come visit me in my office and we will swap stories :)
