A LIST OF TENS
by Nick Rhodes

Ten Places I have spent New Year's Eve

1) Birmingham
2) Mustique
3) New York
4) Klosters
5) St. Barths
6) Orlando
7) Gstaad
8) Atlanta
9) St. Moritz
10) London

Duran Duran have spent a total of 10 years together as the original line up.

10 songs have been written for the new album.

Duran Duran have performed at more than 10 different venues in London.

We have released 10 studio albums of original songs.

We have never used the word "ten"in a song.

(editor's note - Nick stands corrected. The word "ten" appears in the song "To the Shore".
You got him!)

My resolutions are:

To not count the pixels in people's eyes

Stop pretending to have a 3D Fax machine

To refrain from forging celebrity autographs

Start a collection of photographs of corrupt Dictators' wives

Routinely check that TV Guide is not issuing false information about programme times

Suppress the urge to start mindless conspiracy theories on the internet

Finalize negotiations on the creation of a new Robotic species to provide alternative light entertainment for those addicted to Reality TV

Reinstate a mandatory sentence (including commas and semi colons) for each potential Presidential candidate

Accept that forestry is not a growing industry

Go shopping for some string and a torch tomorrow

To wish everyone on duranduran.com a Happy New Year
(ok, that's not really a Resolution)

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
