Duran Duran - Girls On Film

As the calendar nears the middle of August, the excitement of the summer season slowly winds down.  Back to school ads air with the always mixed response from children and teens.  In the realm of sports, August suggests October.  In Hollywood, the Fall lineups are defined and scripts are ready to go.

A busy month with so much to look forward to.  

One constant to look forward to is smiling for the camera - yearbook for students and bloopers for actors.

Smile for the camera.  Where the boys of summer play ball, girls are on film.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Reality Through Lyrics

I can't believe the news today

I can't close my eyes and make it go away

How long, how long must we sing this song?

How long, how long?

'Cos tonight

We can be as one, tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead-end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Oh, let's go

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won?

The trenches dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song?

How long, how long?

'Cos tonight

We can be as one, tonight

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won

On...

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

The Beatles defined the novel concept of boy band considering the majority of their fans being women.  Duran Duran solidified the concept at a rather high pitch scream.  Of course, screams turn to happy shouts as fans evolve with the musicians.

In the United States, NSYNC brought the concept across the pond to a new generation intrigued by their music, well rehearsed stage performances, and overly enthusiastic support.

Every band will have a favorite among fans.  In the instance of NSYNC, I was never a screaming fan and never really bought into their music but if I really had to choose, I would opt for Justin Timberlake because he has proven his musical worth beyond teen heartthrob style and as time goes on, his talent matures.

A lasting fan base is crucial to a lasting musical act - band or solo.  Justin Timberlake has proven both...which is why he is my Set List Saturday feature in this month of August.
