One Week in Hollywood

Duran Duran's Second Coming

When D Squared's original members reunited for their first U.S. show in 18 years, it was at the same tiny, sweaty club where they debuted here 25 years ago. Duran Duran lead singer Simon LeBon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and the Taylors (guitarist Andy, drummer Roger, and bassist John) jammed at Hollywood's Roxy, and found some things never change. ''The dressing room still smells the same,'' remarks LeBon, above with Rhodes and John Taylor. Expect a new album in fall 2004, though the 500 Roxy fans were perfectly satisfied to gyrate '80s-style to oldies like ''Rio.''
