I discovered Duran Duran with the release of The Wedding Album...although I was elementary school age, so being a fan was not entirely possible. I became an official fan with the release of Astronaut, especially when "Reach Up For the Sunrise" was performed live on Good Morning America in their Fall concert series. I was not able to find the performance on GMA, but found a performance on The Ellen Show...which is ironic because I did not become an official fan of Ellen DeGeneres until 2010...when Duran Duran performed "All You Need Is Now."
In this Two for Two Tuesday, I thought I would look back at the history of both songs as found in their ironic way.
