Subject: Duran Duran on VMA's

Ok, so I've been watching the VMA's most of the night...did Duran Duran really just get a lifetime achievement award, or did they get punk'd????!? LOL, I'm very happy if it was for real, altho the presentation could have been a LOT better -- IE the SOUND could have worked for the video collage. I'm confused. But, what else is new!

I saw them recieve the award, but yes, unfortunately, it might be so. I heard Eminem say that when you go backstage after the show they switch around the moon man's.

It was official, they did really get a Lifetime Achievement Award -- About time!!
I'm so disappointed that the video collage didn't work though. But, I'll just be happy that they got it...plus, I thought it was really cool that they seemed genuinely surprised...I don't think they had a clue they were getting it.
I read in Spin magazine that Gwen Stefani is supposed to sing with Simon on a song for the new album (due now early next year). I have high hopes for this...here's hopin' it kicks arse!

Yay, It was about time. It really sucked that they didn't spend more time on it. But I'll be happy too,that they just got it. ;D :)

It's good they received an award. As much as I prefer the original 5, the award also belongs to those musicians who hung in there through the years like Warren Cucurullo.
There's definitely something to be said of a band that managed to stay afloat all through the years, especially in the harsh waters of the sea of music hits and bombs.
Way to go! :)
