I know your first instinct is to tell me that there are already tributes to John Taylor on myspace. I see where you're coming from. I actually wanted this profile to be about the website BassGod.com, but the birth years only go up to 1989, and the website has been in existence since August 2000. Please work with me here, people.
= BIOGRAPHY INFO ="One of the weirdest things about Duran Duran is that every one of its members became hard rockers after beginning their solo careers.
John Taylor, of course, is no exception to the rule -- in fact, he helped invent it. When Duran Duran was on hiatus during 1985, he formed the Power Station with Robert Palmer, and that slick arena-rock project quickly became a success. After Taylor returned to the fold, it appeared that he was ready to leave the band again in the early '90s, but the group had an unexpected hit early the following year with "Ordinary World," and he stuck around for another two albums and one tour before departing in 1996 to form Neurotic Outsiders with former Sex Pistol Steve Jones (ed. note: N.O. also included Duff McKagan & Matt Sorum of Guns 'N' Roses). The following year, he released his first solo album, Feelings Are Good & Other Lies." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
This profile is maintained by a fan and is in no way connected nor affiliated with the REAL John Taylor.
Who I'd like to meet: Fans of John Taylor, Duran Duran & his various side projects, people who've worked with him, and people for whom music is so much more than a song or two that you like... It's something that owns you.
Body: Many of you know, one of the only ways to send Birthday wishes to Duran Duran is through their website DuranDuranMusic. Unfortunately, this is a paid site and many of you are not members. LaFemmeControler and I have created a way to get those messages sent directly to our guys. Duran Duran DOES receive these messages and both Roger and Nick have commented in interviews that they are receiving many kind messages through myspace.
This is your opportunity to send a message to John for his Birthday. This link will be available until June 19 6pm CST http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=51349622&blogId=493660780
Dom's Birthday is also coming up next week. You can send a message to him through the following link until June 12 6pm CST. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=51349622&blogId=493661439
All messages will be sent to both John and Dom at that time.
Ok folks...It's that time again! Most of you may remember, late last year when Nick was sick, we gathered a massive amount of well wishes and were able to get those messages sent to Nick himself. Well now it's time to send out Birthday wishes! In just over a week, our dear Roger is turning another year older! That means we have about 1 week to gather all the Birthday wishes we can, in time to get them forwarded to him. Please log onto the following link (or copy and paste), to send your message.
