Maybe he couldn't tell they weren't?

Actually, I think "Dance into the Fire" is one of the better Duran Duran
songs.  Of course, there are those out there who will say that there is
no such thing.  I politely ask them to go away.

The video is pretty good, too, except at the end.  The "My names Bon.  Simon
Le Bon" deeply sickened me, being a serious Bond fan.  They interspliced the
film clips and the video very well, unlike "Axel F." from Harold Faltermeyer,
where they superimposed him on the film and made it look grim.

I suggest the video to many Duran Duran haters.  I suppose there's nothing
pleasanter than watching one of them get offed.
