Basing your shallow opinion on only a few of their songs is a shamefully illogical way to write a strong argument. The songs you mentioned were all dance hits, where a good beat is all that matters to the public. If you read the lyrics from of their less popular songs (especially from the album "RIO"), you would be pleasantly surprised. Your references to random words and dictionaries is also off target. Duran Duran is not trying to explain the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. They are evoking emotion; conjuring up a pretty picture for the imagination. Why, my dear Mark, are you so violently against Duran Duran? Is your girlfriend more interested in Simon LeBon than she is in you? Or are you a fan of quality entertainers such as Ratt or Motley Crue? Now these are groups with literary genius; writing songs like "The Devil is Good" or "tie Up and Whip Your Woman". All kidding aside, someone intelligent enough to be at Dartmouth shouldn't base an opinion on partial information. This is especially true when you are attacking my favorite group!
