I especially love bands that are really pretentious and arrogant, but who know they are, which is exactly what Duran Duran were. They dressed like faggots and did vast amounts of cocaine, and proclaimed loudly and persistently that they were the greatest band in the world. And it was, quite frankly, highly amusing. At least they never tried to pretend their music was in any way meaningful, unlike some of the emo-fucktard bands out there ( ... )

Totally agree with you re: dodgy hair. If someone's hot enough to pull of bad hair, they are like unto a god. A god of SEX.
