I was taking artistic liberties. Thanks, Travis Buffkin Music & Screens Editor, San Antonio Current 210-260-3011 dtbuffkin@sacurrent.com This fool doesn't even know what taking "artistic liberties" means, and he's an editor? Hopefully the people of San Antonio can see that he's a hack.

Personally I kind of liked his review. It was somewhat funny in that it was a fairly accurate presentation of the dynamic between some boys and girls when RIO was popular. I recall the boys teasing us for our taste in music during my Jr. high years and the phrasing and tone was similar to that used by this writer.
FWIW, the review didn't really state that HE thinks the negative things listed in madoldlu's list. He said that that's how they were often categorized back in the day, and he's not wrong about that.

I took it as they are still making sissy music now with paper gods..he sort of admitted it to me via an email that I did not share with you folks...

I took it in a similar way--that DD is still regarded in that same derogatory way and that the 30+ years of musical success they have had since those days don't matter since they are still the same sissy little sister band. Which is all disrespectful and ignorant on the reviewer's part.
Andre, please post that email!

But he didn't say it in the article. The one clear impression he gave, as far as his opinion of their music goes, is that he probably doesn't really have one. He knows little about their catalog, that being their most popular songs. I'm sure he has no idea what sort of music they make now since he, most likely, hasn't listened to any of it. But then, he's not writing an album or band review. He's simply writing a concert announcement with a little bit of band background.

Zealous we have seen bucket loads of articles with whistle stop histories lazily written that haven't been in this snide w**kers tone. Whether or not he comes off ill-informed it's clearly this guys intention to use his prejudices and his undeserved platform to make anyone who has a notion of liking Duran Duran to feel like a pathetic loser trapped in some kiddy pop delusion from 30 years ago. Let's feel sorry for his disability narrow minded pr.... Okay I'll stop now!

Perhaps I have been exposed to too much of this type dialog and it's left me constantly ignoring the rude things, assuming the person must be being ironic because if they're not they're inceadible jerks. Maybe its jerky even if it is ironic. Either way. I just thought he thought he was being funny.

I'm clearly below that LOL!
