Howard pulls out a quote the band gave a reviewer in 1982, in which they
call Bruce Springsteen mediocre and dismiss Born in the USA outright. He
reads it back to them in the studio, twenty-five years later, and makes them
answer for it.
Andy Taylor had walked out of the band and was writing a book about the
others. They admit they have no relationship with him at all now and that
the lawyers are already exchanging letters — and then explain why they think
the book might still be good for them. Howard pushes on the obvious
question: why would anyone leave a business this good?
The strangest story of the interview comes later. A television crew ambushed
the band outside a New York building with a woman who claimed to be the
mother of one of their children. Her own parents backed up the story,
including the detail about regular Sunday lunches at the house. None of it
was true. Also: whose wife built Juicy Couture and out-earns him, the rumour
that Boy George tried to torpedo their yacht, and why their new video was
banned in England. #HowardSternShow #DuranDuran #SimonLeBon #BoyGeorge
