4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,280

00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Duran Duran are one of the only bands of that

Speaker 3: Is it?

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,080

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,520

Speaker 3: we're getting that.

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Did you have any snippet if someone had said to

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: you forty years ago, you guys are still going to

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: be writing music and performing together forty years from now.

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Could you have imagined any of it? Did you picture

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: yourself as one hundred year old person.

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: Not a snippet, Manda, not one snippet. I mean, I mean, look,

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: you know, you don't go into the music business because

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: you're thinking forty years ahead. You know, if you want

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: to do that, become a dentist. You know, we were

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 3: like thinking, you know, can we you know, we still

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: have a gig at Christmas. You know, wow. I mean,

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: I mean we just weren't thinking like that. I mean

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: we were part of a scene that was very much

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: like in the now. I mean, bands that have been

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: around for ten years. I didn't like them, you know,

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: I wasn't interested in bands that have been around a

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: long time. We were. You know, at that time, when

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: you're seventeen eighteen, you're only interested in the hardcore cool

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: right happening now stuff. I mean at the end of

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: the seventies with punk rock and everything. I mean, any

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: band that had been going like The Stones for like

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: fifteen twenty years, they were so passee at that time dinosaurs.

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: So with the band members, do your kids feel like

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: that about you guys? Do they respect the music or

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: do they just think, oh, that's dad's music.

64
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: No, I think they're old enough now that they've been

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: through Yeah, I mean they've definitely been through the Oh

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: my god, dad, you know it's so cool. But like

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: now they're you know, they're with it now. They get it,

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: you know, they understand you know that it's it's important.

69
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: It's important to their sense of identity.

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: Actually, and COVID has that going in your neck of

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,080

Speaker 3: Well, I'm in Los Angeles right now, and you know,

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: it feels like it is on a path. It feels

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: like we're on the path on the way out. For me,

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, it was the longest period of my longest

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: period of my adult life that I didn't have to

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: pack a suitcase, that they didn't have to leave my wife,

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, and fly away. So it was you know,

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: for me, it was it was quite a there were

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: good things that that came as a result of.

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: It, So it was a good thing. So your wife

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: wasn't saying if you go on tour again, John.

00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: into each other like never before, or they're over.
