Blondie

Debbie Harry was totally my first girlfriend. I have celebrated that by never dating another blonde girl for the rest of my life. Their Sex Offender/ In the Flesh single is the bee's knees. It totally apes Phil Spector's jams, but has that rad late seventies/early eighties synth and digital reverb thing going for it. The set up for this video kind of makes me think of the anti-robert Palmer. She kind has this Jersey accent and seems like the type of lady who smokes and chews gum a good amount of the time. Maybe she has a switchblade. As another bonus, she hund out in the early eighties NY art scene with Basquiat, Warhol, Haring, and Fab Five Freddy. Blondie even mentioned Fab Five Freddy in their rap/disco hybrid "Rapture". I am pretty sure that predates the Aerosmith and Run DMC collaboration. It was a cooler songs for sure. I sure donnot like that Aerosmith.Time hasn't changed my feelings for my crush. She would do other rad things outside of music like play parts in Cronenberg and John Water's films. Just coolness incarnate. I like how her boyfriend was the dorky guitarist with the big shnozzola. People should buy more of these people's albums where they can have more money.
