<DIV><B>From the bestselling author of <I>Love Is a Mix Tape</I>, "a funny, insightful look at the sublime torture of adolescence".—<I>Entertainment Weekly</I></B><br><BR> The 1980s meant MTV and John Hughes movies, big dreams and bigger shoulder pads, and millions of teen girls who nursed crushes on the members of Duran Duran. As a solitary teenager stranded in the suburbs, Rob Sheffield had a lot to learn about women, love, music, and himself. And he was sure his radio had all the answers.<br><BR> As evidenced by the bestselling sales of Sheffield's first book, <I>Love Is a Mix Tape</I>, the connection between music and memory strikes a chord with readers. <I>Talking to Girls About Duran Duran</I> strikes that chord all over again, and is a pitch-perfect trip through '80s music-from Bowie to Bobby Brown, from hair metal to hip-hop. But this book is not just about music. It's about growing up and how every song is a snapshot of a moment that you'll remember the rest of your life.<BR><BR></DIV>
