In this week’s paper, I’ve written a long update on what’s popularly being referred to as the WTJU "crisis." I’ll do my best to keep you posted before changes to the station are supposed to be rolled out in August. In the meantime, there are lots of places where you read about how DJs and alumni are feeling here, here, here, here, and even right here. Other highlights from this week’s paper include is a review of Saturday’s Hz Collective show at the Bridge/PAI, and review of Nicole Holofcener’s surprisingly great new film Please Give, showing at Vinegar Hill.
But the real reason why I asked you to join me in this blog today is because I need your help. I’ve scheduled an interview this afternoon with Rob Sheffield, contributing editor at Rolling Stone and author of Love is a Mixtape, the bestseller that has lots of nice tidbits about the Charlottesville of yore. We’ll be talking about a new book that he’s written, Talking to Girls About Duran Duran, which comes out next month.
Problem is, I don’t know much about Duran Duran, except that "Rio" means "river" and I usually just get hungry like a regular dude. (O.K., that was a pretty lame attempt at writing like Sheffield.) In short, readers, I need your help:
What Duran Duran factoid would you drop to impress an editor at Rolling Stone?
