The Catalyst interview: Roger Taylor of Duran Duran

Only a handful of major pop acts of the 1980s have survived – and flourished – like the British band Duran Duran. With more than 100 million in record sales and a strong catalog of dance-flavored hits like “Rio,” “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “The Wild Boys," "A View to a Kill” and “Girls on Film,” the group became a worldwide phenomenon and dominated the decade.
