Wild Boys

In this edition of Saturday Music Pick, I am featuring "Wild Boys" as defined by the truly wild boys of Duran Duran - Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, and Roger Taylor (Andy Taylor will always deserve due credit).  Simon will be 61 in October, Nick will be 57 in June, John will be 59 in June, and Roger will be 59 in April...but they do not look or act their age.  Duran Duran music and Duran Duran inspiration keeps them young at heart.  For this reason, Duran Duran will always be wild.
