[glow=red,2,300]Duran Duran @ M.E.N. Arena[/glow]
by Eric Jackson
SIMON Le Bon is the kind of man that women love and other men love to hate.
It's all down to envy, obviously. The geezer has had a fabulous career as lead singer of Duran Duran; he's married to beautiful ex-model Yasmin Le Bon; and he's held on to his hair and boyish good looks.
Now to rub it in, he's even shed weight and his lardy-boy pants and is enjoying a critical and commercial renaissance with the band who were the acceptable face of new romanticism in the eighties.
At the M.E.N. Arena last night on a stage decked out with five rectangular screens that doubled as spectacular flame-throwers, it was easy to see why new groups, such as the ultra-hip Bravery, name-check and ape the Duranies.
Simon was simply in rock god mode, d**n him, whipping the well-preserved ladies in the audience into an almost Tom Jones-style knicker-throwing frenzy.
