RRHOF Dedication - Andy Taylor

Every Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class traditionally performs a select number of songs alongside accepting their award.

Although Duran Duran were not the only members of the RRHOF Class of 2022, their 3-song set list reflected what they were finally owed and proved.

Duran Duran Set List - "Girls on Film," "Hungry Like the Wolf," and "Ordinary World."

Admission - The performance video on YouTube was shared on Set List initially to celebrate the induction but while this post shares the same video, the reason is entirely different.  Here is why -

Andy Taylor has such a zest for the guitar and for music in the genres he knows best - through Duran Duran.  He was part of the "Taylor trio" (my quote) and original lineup.  And so on the one day the band accepts the highest honor in music, he was unable to attend.  I will never be able to feel his heartbreak.  The Fab Five was never truly meant to be the fab four.

In this post then, the electricity of the fans, the giddy joy of the boys on the ultimate stage, and the choice of songs performed are dedicated to "electric guitar, Andy Taylor!"

The wild boys and countless fans love ya, Andy :)
