yes, its june 8th, the birthday of the one and only mr. nick rhodes. as many of you may know, he was one of the founding members of Duran Duran, and has always been my unofficial favorite. i mean, of course, there were times when i found Simon sexier, and there have been some times where John has been better looking, but ever since 1983 or so, Nick Rhodes has been my fave. it was a picture of him in a fan magazine that struck me with such teenage 'love at first sight' that i was inclined to 'get into' Duran Duran. they have always been on the list of my all-time favorite bands, and their music and videos have almost 100% stood the test of time. nick is a wild genius, so curious about all aspects of music and art. and he seems like a guy who's doing what he loves, and still loves it. and i still love him. this is a picture from quite a few years ago... 2000, maybe? anyway, he's gorgeous, bright, talented, funny, and serious about turning out high quality work. if my math is right, he's 46 today. so here's to you, nick rhodes. happy birthday. i love you.
