Blondie's Back
No band will ever replace The Ramones in my heart for number one. Those bad boys from Queens were the essence of my formative years (and those who know me thought I was a much more middle-of-the road gal, HA!).However, Deborah Harry comes a close second. “Heart of Glass” was my theme song the year I spent in a cold British dorm on a wind-swept hill in Canterbury.
As a recent New York Times article about Deborah Harry states, “She never stopped being cool.” (As evidenced by pic at left of the blonde one wearing jeans jacket backwards.) Yeah, every woman of a certain age wanted to be Blondie’s lead – and still does. More than Madonna, she will remain an icon well into her 80s. (And if my book EVER gets published – ah hem – the main character’s fantasy persona is a true Harry type.)
At 62, DH has a new album out. Good for her.
