Pirate Chic Never Quite Goes Out of Style

On a hot, lazy Sunday with not much else to do, I'm back again flipping through YouTube. Looking at Duran Duran videos this time around. And my observations:

1) Why is Simon Le Bon dressed like a pirate? Looks like the same outfit. Were they filmed on the same day or something? Where's the Jolly Roger flag?

2) Nick Rhodes looks so ghey. And I had such a crush on him when I was like, 11. I guess he was the first of my many ghey boyfriends, even though he never knew it.

3) What the hell did Andy Taylor do to his hair?

4) Roger Taylor bears a striking resemblance to a certain annoying "DJ" in Denver that I just want to punch in the face everytime I see him.

5) John Taylor is hot. He still *is* hot, acutally.

6) Are all of the bandmates sharing some lines of coke at the dining room table in the "Careless Memories" video?

7) Also for the "Careless Memories" video -- I have that same coffee table. You can get it at Ikea for like $80. The dining room table, Patrick Bateman-esq decor, and the assorted illicit activities that were probably going on outside of the scenes -- probably not easily available in a box these days.

8) God, John Taylor was hot. Damn.
