Here are my Wed highlights. Great stuff, locals and legends.

My favorite local female singer, Pink Nasty

Augustana at Barbarella Patio

John Vanderslice at Red 7

Smoking Popes at Maggie Mae’s

And… Duran Duran, at Stubbs

They sounded and looked great, but listening I realized they have some really stupid songs. I love Rio (which they didn’t play) and Girls on Film (which I didn’t hear, but they may have played after I left), but Hungry Like the Wolf, Wild Boys and Notorious are all just silly.
