sing blue silver towards the close of this week, i discovered that i have been inadvertently complaining even though life right now is sweeter than it's ever been for a long time. i discovered that i don't have to be influenced by the fellow complainers around me, or feed off each other's rants in this twisted form of miserable pleasure -- i can choose to buck the trend, and i must, in order to move forward.so here's something positive: yesterday, i got to watch the coveted duran duran dvd i recently got. it's called sing blue silver (their 1984 tour documentary) and featured footage of screaming girls in 80s outfits and a friskier-than-now simon le bon and andy taylor when he looked less haggard. haha. i didn't get to see much of my favourite, the keyboardist nick rhodes, because the sound bites section seemed to be mostly focused on simon and andy, but the music -- oh, the familiar music and simon's unmistakable yodel-howl voice -- was prevalent throughout. it was a steal to get this dvd at the price i got it, and i'm glad i was at the right place at the right time. i got stood up, so i happened to browse a music store, which happened to have a 3-day sale whereby everything was going for half-price, and they happened to stock just one copy of this dvd. talk about a bad deal going good. |
