[POP] Those of us that dismissed Duran Duran in the late 1980s as they tried to shake their teen-idol image in favor of something more serious are being made to eat crow. 14 albums in (and 70 million units sold), the band has never completely gone away. Instead, Simon Le Bon and company have survived multiple lineup changes and rode the choppy waters of public opinion into their current tour, supporting last year’s Paper Gods, which is also the band’s debut for Warner Brothers. It’s a thin line between being a nostalgia act and a band that strives to produce relevant new material, but the men of Duran Duran are far from being alone in their bid for longevity. And hey, 2005’s Astronaut was damn-well solid. For anyone that’s recently won the lottery or come into a trust fund, they’ll be at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26.
