Today, I confess my completely unhinged obsession with Duran Duran. They're my patron saints of staying resilient and relevant without selling your soul. They thrived by staying authentically weird while everyone else was desperately chasing trends.
Simon Le Bon never tried to be anyone else's version of a lead singer. John Taylor's bass lines were unapologetically complicated and melodic. And don't get me started on Nick Rhodes' synth wizardry—the man turned electronic music into art.
They taught me that longevity isn't about reinventing yourself every five minutes. It's about being so authentically you that you become timeless instead of trendy. Stay weird. Stay relevant. Stay utterly, unapologetically yourself.
PS - (Reach Up For The) Sunrise is a perfect pop song, I will hear no arguments.
