Duran Duran with Mark Ronson: A return to 'Rio'?
If you grew up in the '80s, these guys soundtracked your slumber parties, the ones where you tried to paint your nails black only to get nail polish remover all over your mom's comforter. Now they've returned with the album "All You Need Is Now," out today on iTunes (physical drops in February) and produced by Mark Ronson, who connected with Duran Duran in 2008 in Paris, soon after they became the first band to perform at the Louvre Museum.
Duran Duran and its four original members -- John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon, the latter sporting one of the best rock names in the business -- haven't been wanting for exposure. In addition to playing near the "Mona Lisa," the four gents who once looked like walking advertisements for Vidal Sassoon have been playing festivals around the world the last couple of years.
