Nick Rhodes on Bowie Tribute

Question: How can you go wrong with Duran Duran covering a David Bowie song? Answer: You can't. As stated by Nick in the video Duran Duran covered Bowie's song Fame as a B-side (that's the flip side to a vinyl single) in the 80's. I heard Duran Duran's version of Fame before I even knew about David Bowie's but I like both versions immensely.

I'm quite looking forward to this David Bowie tribute album. According to the Official Duran Duran website the album is due out on September 13th but according to Amazon it is coming September 6th. Perhaps one is the U.K. release date and the other is the U.S. release date. Either way, it's soon! The song Duran Duran are covering is Boys Keep Swinging.

The money raised by the album is going to War Child International.

Revised question: How can you go wrong with Duran Duran covering a David Bowie song and all the money going to help children stricken by war? Revised answer: You absolutely can not!

So, look for the album within the next two weeks. And know that while you enjoy all the tracks there are children around the world benefitting in a positive way.
