WaCu will be answering questions ranging from his departure from Duran Duran, his reformation of MP, days with Zappa, and even his new online adventure - the erotic Cuccurullo.tv, where being a rockstar online has taken a drastically sexy turnabout.
The Brat is happy to say that she will be attending the chat tonight. Hopefully, there will not be any server problems to deal with, as we seem to weather during any JT chats.

Duran Duran "Book":
I happen to be one of the writers in the making of a Duranie Journal that is currently crossing the southern half of the US at this time. This is a book that is being sent to various Duran Duran fans across the country, where we will log in our thoughts on the band. The person who came up with the idea is always happy to involve others who are interested in putting their own words to paper. If you would like to get involved with this fun project, you can email either myself directly for the information, or contact SaveSeriousJT@aol.com for more information!
Well, that's it for this news installment! Have a great week folks!

Roger Taylor in the Movies... well sort of...
A new, independent film about Roger Taylor will be viewed at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City Utah this week (January 23 and 25).
The film, Searching For Roger Taylor chronicles the director's search for his childhood rock idol, Roger Taylor (former drummer for Duran Duran). In his quest, the director seeks not just to understand the diappearance of the man, but also an entire decade of artistry.
The film features interviews with Lol Creme, Tony Hadley, Stewart Copeland, Jerry Casale, and other 80's celebrities.
John Taylor Gets Credit
First of all, John Taylor was mentioned in Bass Player Magazine as one of the best bassists in the 1980's. As if we didn't already know that!
Secondly, Sugartown is set for release in the stores on March 21, 2000. Keep your eyes open at the video stores for this one!

IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!!
According to the hotline, Duran Duran's highly anticipated new CD, Pop Trash, will be released in May of 2000. Promotions for the new CD will start sometime in March.
According to an unnamed source who has listened to the new CD, this new album is going to be up there with the "Wedding Album" as far as success goes. The one track, "Someone Else Not Me" is anticipated to bring the band back into the Top 40, as did "Ordinary World" back in 1993.
Fans are impatiently awaiting the release of this new CD ever since hearing some sneak peaks into the tracks during the popular 1999 Summer Tour, which spanned several cities across the US.
All I can say is this, "Hallucinating Elvis" better be on that CD. I completely dug it during the Dallas show on August 22nd.
January 1, 2000:
Happy New Year to EVERYBODY out there from DITF! Hope yours is a safe and wonderful holiday!

SIMON LEBON CHATS LIVE ON MUSIC 365
This afternoon, Simon LeBon took some time out from his busy schedule to chat live with his fans at the Music365 chat site. It was a fun, but quick chat where he answered several questions given to the chat moderator. He spoke about the excitement of playing at Earl's Court in England tomorrow night, as well as admitting to be a fan of the cartoon "South Park" (a show that I'm completely a fan of, btw...).
Simon seemed a bit tired, and answered the question about the original five members of Duran Duran possibly re-grouping by saying, "Never........say never."
He has recently worked with Andy Taylor, former guitarist for the band, on some music, but at this time has not found a way to implement it into his work. He hopes to work around that as soon as possible. He also spoke about his recent appearance on stage with John Taylor, former bassist, by saying that it was wonderful to work with him again, and that he loves the guy.
We hope to see another online chat with Simon soon, as does he.

The Premiere of VH1's Behind The Music, Featuring Duran Duran.
The showcasing of Duran Duran happened yesterday, and the reactions are very mixed from the fans. Most people I have talked to were either pleased or disappointed with the show. I, for one, could have settled for a bit more of Warren's comments on the band...he's been with them for over a decade now, for crying out loud! It was a good show, noting a lot on Simon's Drum accident, as well as their rise to fame in the early 80's. A very well done piece of work, with not a hint of flaming or dirt slinging.
