Simon Le Bon - Series 2 Episode 11 | Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt - Podcast

This week on Rockonteurs we welcome Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon to the podcast. There is so much to enjoy from this episode including Simon’s passion for new music, his origins with Duran Duran, touring with David Bowie, jostling for chart supremacy with a certain Spandau Ballet and the game-changing music video revolution…
This is a joy to listen to!
Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.

Can't understand how these Rockonteurs interviews aren't getting more listens. They are an absolute work of art in themselves

Notorious is an insanely good album.

Simon: I too doodled Bowie repeatedly in High School! Almost all my art projects had to do with him; my teacher had to tell me to stop - LOL!

I drew pictures of Duran after discovering the band March 1983

Unfortunately in my country (Croatia) nobody gives a sh… about Spandau and Duran Duran anymore. Great show👏🏻

This was so great!! Love hearing stories about how bands came up. You never got to talk about Pop Quiz though! Lol! Also does the ending where you said “and it’s goodnight from me, and it’s good night from…” come from anywhere in particular? Bc when John and Andy were guest VJs in 1985, they ended the show the same way! Looking forward to the next episode!!

It's from The Two Ronnies! At the end of every episode Ronnie Corbett would say 'It's goodnight from me' and Ronnie Barker would say 'and it's goodnight from him'

Terrible. Was half expecting Gary's brother to pop up and sell us covid vaccines for his 30 pieces of silver half way through the sett.

[@j.schermer3523]

You had a guest a couple of weeks ago and you can‘t remember his name?? Jeez Gary, now you‘re getting really old.

[@theWARMJET]

Lol

[@jeffd5310]

WTF man, we get two lines of a story and you cut the guy off to add some lame commentary...let the guest talk. If you want to blabber on about yourself don't bother having a guest.
