Sunday morning A. and I watched the beginning of The Concert for Diana broadcast from Wembley Stadium. Elton John opened the show with a beautiful rendition of Your Song. After that the two young Princes introduced their mother's favorite band, Duran Duran, also my favorite in my early teens, A. scrunched up her face and said, "Who's that?" I explained to her how John Taylor, pictured here in his young androgynous beauty, was the love of my life. When they moved in for a close up of John, she said, "Ewwwww, didn't he play the Green Goblin in Spiderman?" Seeing his wrinkle resemblance to Willem Dafoe made me realize that my former idol, as I, have aged. I had to laugh. --J
