You just know that that was immediately copied and sent to most of my contacts.

That's why you also need to be a singer or songwriter or producer.

Ah, hope. One of the cruelest of all expectations.

On the plus side, you get the pleasure of being in a band, but you have to play way less notes than anyone else.

Unless you are getting the kind of gigs that Hadrien Ferraud gets.👍🏾

Since about 50% of them are root notes, and 25% are fifths, you can mix up the order a fair bit without it changing much ..

He was the best looking guy in Duran Duran, as was Martin Kemp in Spandau Ballet and Alex James in Blur. But playing bass in a band won't get an ugly guy laid

Oh yes! On 15th April, 2003 I had no voice as I'd screamed so much at the Duran Duran reunion tour at Wembley the night before! 

We had the strangest drive home too - heavy fog on the way back to Devon, and my friend who was driving played Kraftwerk all the way.

I went to see them around 2000/2001, they were amazingly good.

 

I didn’t scream.

Duran Duran and Kraftwerk are not incompatible. I saw both within a couple of months of each other in 1981.
