In the Pleasure Groove: Love, Death, and Duran Duran

From Barnes & NobleBassist John Taylor wasn't just a Duran Duran cofounder; he's also been with the band for all but four of its 34 years. Make no mistake though: His In the Pleasure Groove isn't just a music memoir or reprise; it's also a disarmingly unsparing account of one man's self-rescue from self-destruction.





The New York Times Book ReviewLet recovering John addicts everywhere be warned: Taylor turns out to be just as appealing on the page as his younger self was in those silver leather pants…The real pleasure of the memoir…is Taylor's voice—a disarming blend of candor, warmth and self-deprecating humor.
