OK…I have Dancing With The Stars on in the background. The first thing I heard was a strange, tango remix of “Roxanne” by the Police. I was only slightly displeased when I heard one of my favorite bands used in such a way. It didn’t take long until I heard Adam Ant’s “Goody Two Shoes” and got all huffy seeing them jump around to one of my 80’s favs. There was no way it could get worse. As if the show was mocking me, the cheesiest version of “Rio” was playing and I couldn’t even force myself to open my eyes. How could they do that to Duran Duran?!! Has enough time passed that the music of my youth can be turned into a hideous version of elevator music? Should I be grieving for my precious Duran Duran? I guess if Simon has given up, and can’t remember the words to his songs, maybe it’s time I recognize that the music I love is being played on the oldies station, and used for has been’s who want to learn to tango.
