Duran Duran “The Wild Boys” 1984. I blogged about this 12″ single last summer, but am re-spinning in honor of @tinglealley‘s visit this weekend. She, along with a bunch of other long-time friends, is coming into town for the Great Midwest Trivia Contest hosted by Lawrence University. It’s become an annual tradition for us, and something I have really been looking forward to this year: 72+ hours of levity as a break to the whiplash horror that has been the past few weeks. The contest starts Friday night, so until then we will be “wild girls,” though now in our middle-years this translates into a day of poking around bookstores, going out for lunch, taking a yoga class and then drinking wine and cuddling cats.

Here is a picture of a confused-looking John Taylor cuddling a cat.
