As a solitary teenager stranded in the suburbs, Rob Sheffield had a lot to learn about women, love, music, and himself. And he was sure his radio had all the answers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As evidenced by the bestselling sales of Sheffield's first book, \u003ci\u003eLove Is a Mix Tape\u003c\/i\u003e, the connection between music and memory strikes a chord with readers. \u003ci\u003eTalking to Girls About Duran Duran\u003c\/i\u003e strikes that chord all over again, and is a pitch-perfect trip through '80s music-from Bowie to Bobby Brown, from hair metal to hip-hop.
