Is There Something I Should Know?

That wild boy Simon le Bon (singer of those 80s standards, hungry like a wolf and girls on film) has come out publically as an Atheist, he saves his prayers for planet Earth rather than any old or new religion. As can be heard from this short audio piece his gradual loss of faith was no reflex act, and whilst he is serious regarding his own non faith positions on life after death he doesn't begrudge believers their views, he simply says that religion is for someone else not me. On the subject of ethics he thinks that religion has had a positive impact on our ordinary world, and as long as it stays within the white lines of personal belief it's fine, although the more notorious and fundamentalist faiths continue to behave like they are out of their minds. As far as Jesus is concerned he doesn't want his love, what happens tomorrow will happen and this life is the only skin trade there is.



So, how many Duran Duran track titles can you spot in this post :)

Thought I spotted the White Stripes there for a minute, but it was white lines.
