Musical Monday with Duran Duran

I loved Duran Duran's music as a kid. I loved them as recently as 1993 with "The Wedding Album"... and then I lost touch.

I recently became aware that they are still making music, all these years later. But do they still have it? Can they still channel that magic?

Simon LeBon and lady friends in "Black Moonlight"

Yes. Yes, they can. Today's offering is both one of the funkiest songs ever delivered by Duran Duran. And it's supported by a fabulous music video that's guaranteed to help stir the Halloween Spirit!

Halloween is coming...

... and actress/singer Vanessa Hudgens wants everyone to know that you need to start preparing for the Big Day and the Bigger Night!


"Halloween is my favorite holiday. I live for Halloween. I literally count down the days," Hudgens once told British comedian James Cordon. "And Halloween is not just a holiday. It is a season! It is a celebratory season to embrace your inner darkness!"

We think this means she might displace Vampirella as the Queen of Halloween this year!

Both before and after her rise to and slide away from international fame, Anthony was busy acting on stage and the small screen in Great Britain. In recent decades, she's been a familiar face to viewers of dramatic series "Coronation Street" and "Holyoaks".
