Duran Duran on amazing career: 'Resistance to the band has softened'

Legendary band Duran Duran have enjoyed incredible longevity and bassist John Taylor told Billboard magazine that over time people's "resistance to the band has softened". 

During the interview, Taylor explained that he and the other members feel as though they have spent years convincing the world that they're an authentic group, but now they don't have to fight for acceptance because they're finally there:

"I think that Duran have been engaged in this kind of dogged war of convincing the world that we were real since we were in our early 20s and were, like, heartthrobs for that period. Yes, there were fans who were really passionate for the band and they've stuck with us, but there were people that were defiantly anti."

"I feel like that kind of resistance to the band has softened; We're feeling that people are opening their hearts to us in a way that's never really happened before, so that's amazing."
