When it comes to matters of consequence, Zev Borow, regular contributor to fine publications such as Spin, The New Yorker and McSweeney’s, knows where it’s at. About his inspiration to “cover” a Duran Duran song for Lit Riffs, he writes:
I sort of think you can divide the world into people who appreciate Duran Duran, and people who don’t, and I’d rather vacation with the people who do. To me, Duran Duran in general, and “Rio” in particular, shimmer with the absolute brain-freeze purity of pop-rock’s transcendent ridiculousness, whatever that means.
