Ask Katy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ask Katy (pronounced "Katty") is the question-and-answer section of duranduran.com, the offical website of the pop band Duran Duran. Questions are submitted and passed on to the band members, with their answers being posted to the site weekly. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN? The Best of Duran Duran’s Ask Katy, a book highlighting questions of the past ten years, is due in 2007.
The band's official website was launched in 1997, sporting advanced Flash technology. The band entrusted an employee to field questions sent via the internet and pass them along for a direct answer from a band member. The "Ask Katy" section was prominent from the beginning, and quickly became the most popular portion of the band’s website, which averages 15 million hits a month.
The book WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN? The Best of Duran Duran’s Ask Katy was culled from thousands of questions, selecting the best, the craziest and the most creative questions the dedicated and devoted fans of Duran Duran have sent in over the years, with thoughtful – and often funny - answers from band members Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor.
