Subject: [DHBIS] NEW BLONDIE SITE
Hi everyone,
I have just finished putting together a new web site that concentrates on
Blondie, with some Debbie content. If you would like to check it out, the
address is: http://www.thehub.au/~bchudso/blondie.html
Being in Australia I have included an Australian Discography and some rare
Australian releases in the "Rarities" section.
If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I'd be grateful for your
correspondence.
Thanks
Fraser

They *told* you that you should buy a Producer's Cut CD from me!
You guys did good on the lyrics, some mistakes though. I'll post the
ones I copied from her lyric sheet, if I ever remember to bring the file
to work!
If anyone wants on the collector's list, don't forget to send me your
email address, name, regular address, and interests (if any specific

Thanks, Louis and Blonde Ant for your interpretations of the Date! I will
compare them to mine and see if I can't fill in some more gaps. (Help,
Barry)
My friend gave me this bit of info:
Here's August's Debbie highlights -
"Forever, Lulu" , 8/5, Cinemax, 5:30am (the Cinemax appointed time for Debbie
movies apparently).
Two different Saturday Night Live appearances on Comedy Central.
8/23 12pm Host:Deborah Harry. Musical Guest: Funky Four & One More
8/31 5pm Guests: Joe Montana, Walter Payton, Deborah Harry
Louis,
Now maybe you can get a first generation of that SNL performance! 8/23 is
the Valentines Day Episode. Everyone MUST tape this. Debbie sings Love TKO
and Come Back, Jonnie. She is in three skits as well, even though this
broadcast edits out at least one other that I remember her in. Plus,
Debbie's parents are in the audience.
John

Subject: [DHBIS] Re:BLONDIE/DHARRY BOOKS??
There are three Blondie books that I'm aware of: Making Tracks, which is the
one by Chris and Debbie (1982); one by Lester Bangs, called Blondie (1980); and
one by Premiere/Rolling Stone writer Fred Schruers, also called Blondie (1980).
Making Tracks is by far the funniest to read. Sentence structure and
punctuation evidently weren't a high priority, but the way Debbie tells the
various anecdotes surrounding her childhood, teen years, and the formation and
heyday of Blondie is a lot of fun. Chris's pictures downplay the cover-girl
type shots and focus on Debbie (and other scenemakers) in their grungy, everyday
surroundings.
Lester Bangs' book is the prettiest to look at. It features some of the most
beautiful pictures of Debbie ever taken. Lester's text is basically a brief
history of the band and his reaction and criticisms to their various albums. He
was obviously a big fan and very passionate about their music, particularly
Parallel Lines, to which he devotes an entire chapter. But he's dead now, so
we'll never know how he felt about Autoamerican and The Hunter.
Fred Schruer's book is a small paperback with only a few black and white photos,
but it does feature a couple of extensive interviews with Debbie and Chris. He
also devotes a chapter to a Jimmy Destri interview and another to Clem, Nigel,
and Frank. Again, this book was released before Autoamerican, Koo Koo, or the
Hunter, so it can't really claim to be definitive.
I'm sure all of these book are out of print, but I do see copies at the
second-hand book store here from time to time. I'm still waiting for someone to
write the definitive Blondie book that will not only cover the rise of Blondie,
but also their fall, and Debbie's career since that time . . . then Michelle
Pfeiffer can play Debbie in the movie. (If this offends anybody, I'm only
kidding.) Jennifer Jason Leigh, maybe?
However, Kurt Loder's book Bat Chain Puller features a greatly condensed telling
of the complete Blondie story and Debbie's solo career up through Def, Dumb &
Blonde, along with a great interview. This should still be available at
bookstores everywhere . . .

Yeah, I can't look at Michelle Pfeiffer without thinking of Debbie...there really
is a considerable resemblance. Another actress who I think looks like Debbie is
Mitzi Kapture from that awful "Silk Stalking" series...not the hair of course,
but the facial structure is very similar.

I agree that the Bangs book gives us some of the most beautiful pictures of
Debbie, but after reading the thrown-together text, I'd say he hardly comes off as
a fan. I'm not saying that a Blondie biography should be one long, glowing
press-release, but at various points in this book, Bangs is downright mean.
He compares Debbie to the pathetic Carol Couture in Tennesee Williams' "The
Fugitive Kind," states she looks "glazed and sick" in one of her posters, and
makes a huge deal about her age (she was only 33 or so when the book was
published).
I remember reading a review of the book in (I think) Rolling Stone, and the
reviewer felt that Bangs had essentially slapped together a book about a group of
people had no use for. As harsh as that sounds, I think the reviewer was right.

I didn't think that I was the only one who saw a huge resemblance between
Debbie Harry and Michelle Pfeiffer. There's one Pfeiffer picture I have
which is identical to the cover of Back Into The Bleach. They are both so
beautiful. If any of you haven't seen Grease II (Michelle's first major
role) you should check it out just to see Pfeiffer in total Blondie garb.
If they do ever make a movie about Debbie Harry's life they should definitely
cast Pfeiffer in the starring role!

The best places to look (obviously since they are all out of print) is used
book stores. That's how I found Making Tracks - in a pile of books at the
back of a downtown used book store. I had to copy Bangs book from a
library and have never found the Schruers Blondie book (a friend copied the
front cover and inside pictures so I do know what it looks like anyway).
Good luck searching!

I haven't read the book in awhile, but I have to agree with Michael - Lester
didn't strike me as a great fan of Blondie, and I seem to recall a very mean
tone thru the text (especially in describing any music made after the first
album). The book is worth getting, but think of it as a lovely photo album.
After reading the book, I recall thinking; Lester Bangs, what a bastard.

I actually find Lester Bangs critique of Blondie to be good reading - but
then again I'm one of those people who likes reading bad reviews more than
I like reading good reviews (don't ask me why). Some of his comments are
rather rude (maybe he's just being cynical) but I do think that his analysis
of Parallel Lines is outstanding. And I think that his take on Debbie's
somnambulist, vacant appeal (similar to Kim Novak in the 1950's) is really
interesting. I think he's commenting on her and Blondie's "image" in the
press and as perceived by the public at large rather than criticizing them
as human beings.

I heard an interview with Debbie and Chris a long time ago and they HATED
that book. Debbie said it wasn't a bio at all but Lester's view on women
etc. Chris said it didn't sell well and fans didn't like it either. (Of
course, it is great for the pictures)

Ha! I think that all through the years the most vicious rock critics
have been failed musicians themselves. Especially the British press!
They are people who couldn't make it in the music biz on the basis of
their own meager talent so they make careers out of criticizing others
who actually made it. Reviews always tell you more about the person
writing them than the group or person they are writing about.

Every now and again I'll see an actress with a certain Debbie-esque quality
and I'll have weird ideas that she's actually Debbie's biological sister or
(if the person is old enough) even her mother. Michelle Pfeiffer looks SO
much like Debbie that's it's not even funny.
An old roommate of mine used to be totally obsessed with "Silk Stalkings,"
and the only reason I would watch it with her was because Mitzi Kapture did
look uncannily like Debbie in her facial structure, and I thought it was
cool that her last name rhymes with "Rapture." :)
Another person who looks a lot like Debbie is former-supermodel and
commercial spokeswoman Kim Alexis.
Does anybody know of any other Debbie lookalikes we could cast for our movie?
How about Chris Stein doubles? All the guys from Oasis look a lot like him,
I think. :)

Well, Michelle is younger, but the early part of the story would probably
start out when Debbie and Chris met... which was 1973 I think? That would
have made Debs 28. I'm actually not sure how old Michelle is.
Besides the eyes are similar, but the mouth is too West Coast. :) No Bow

Also, in an interview with DETAILS after DEBRAVATION

Debbie was actually supposed to be in the movie Blue Velvet, playing
Isabella Rosenlini's role. (Sorry if I misspelled it) For some reason...
David Lynch couldn't get the funding at the time or something, the movie
wasn't made until a few years later, and Debbie was busy with other things
so she couldn't do it.

Well, I managed to get off work for Friday, August 9th and I've made my

presumptious on my part to bring something to the show in case I have the
opportunity to ask for her autograph? I don't know how she feels about
things like that and I have admired and respected her for so many years; I
don't want to offend or annoy her. It would be great to get her to sign my
copy of "Making Tracks: the Rise of Blondie" but I thought she might be
more receptive to something that is more indicative of her recent career;
like say the cover of "Debravation". If anyone out there has met her and
could give me some advice on how to approach her, I would really appreciate
it. I may be worrying about nothing. The opportunity might not present
itself to met her, but I would like to be prepared if it did and not come

MADE my boss put me in her backstage area as the door guard (puny little

came back up from the 2 track gig I finally built up enough courage to ask
her to sign my book. Was pleasantly surprised when she told me that she saw
me in the audience at the earlier show and even happier when she said "Oh my

I actually caught a Vegas track gig from Debbie a couple of months

like she did for the video, with the facial expressions, etc.), Atomic
(Diddy single remix version), "French Kissin", & "One Way Or Another".
I think that was it. It was pretty fun and the whole audience was
very respectful to her. She got a lot of applause and the crowd was
quite young. Anyway, my reply had little to do with Scott Free's
question but nonetheless, her track gigs are definitely worth showing
up for. She looks excellent by the way. Well, with the exception of
her little stomach pooch but you know, at 51, she can sport that belly

Folks
Can someone out there tell me what is meant by "track gig". I have a band
and I know what a "gig" is, but "track gig" is new to me. You must
remember......I'm from Alabama and I went to college here. Kind of like
being punished for the same thing twice.
I've already got several friends ready to ride to the show in Atlanta if
we can just get the details(when, where, and how much).
"One Way Or Another" we'll be there.

A track date is when Debbie goes to a venue by herself and sings live, but
over a tape of music, as opposed to the music being performing live by a
band.

Basically a track gig is debbie singing karaoke. No band, just
instrumental recordings of her songs. She performs live vocals over
the top. Not as good compared to her and a live band backup but still
entertaining.

OK. I see what you mean. Thanks for the information. Remember if anybody
finds out the specifics(where, when, and how much) of the Atlanta show;
please pass it on. I'd go see Debbie if it was just her singing accompanied
by a musical saw. DEBBIE is the show. Her presence and voice. Everything
else is just icing.

Of course! I also think "In the Flesh," "In the Sun," "X-Offender," "Fan
Mail," and "The Hardest Part" should have been on there too! I think
"One Way or Another" and those other songs weren't on THE COMPLETE
PICTURE is because they weren't singles in the UK, where THE COMPLETE
PICTURE was released.

Do you mean cd or laser disc, Scott? I just discovered, on the Alta

laser disc. But it's $59. Does anyone have an opinion about whether it's worth
$59? It's kind of pathetic that I have a laser disc player, only one
laser disc, and can't afford to buy any more right now. Are all
COMPLETE PICTURE lds imports, which makes this one cost so much more
that other music lds I've looked at? But, you're right, since One
Way Or Another was a major Blondie hit, it should have been included
on the only Blondie laser disc available. I've heard that San
Francisco has used laser disc stores, so that's where I'll search for
THE COMPLETE PICTURE before I'm forced to spend $59 plus S/H.

It was taken by (or sold to) surface magazine in San Francisco.
It is available as a bus-shelter format poster from a lot of mail-order
music places. It's beautiful, and about 36 inches by 48 inches. I
want to get another one (mine has a small flaw, and I want a backup)
so if anybody finds a place that has one, let me know. Intergalactic
Garage did carry them, but they are out. The woman I talked to there
said that people bought it regardless of liking Debbie, because the
poster is so beautiful. If you truly Debbie, you'll flip over it.
I wonder if Debbie's seen it?

Subject: [DHBIS] Debbie's psychic experience
Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 02:29:20 -0500
Folks,
I was just re-reading some of my favorite sections from "Making Tracks"
and on page 7, Debbie writes:
"One day I started hearing voices coming from a brick fireplace my dad
had, built, telling me complex mathematical information. I ran into the
house to tell my mother what I'd heard and how important it was. She
laughed as I tried to verbalize what I thought I had heard because it
sounded ridiculous. The exhilarating physical sensation this psychic
contact had given me was gone and I was left feeling oddly empty. Earth to
Deb..."
Earlier, in the same paragraph, she writes:
"......that is when I had my FIRST(emphasis mine) memorable psychic
experience."
Has Debbie made reference to this event or any other psychic events that
have happened to her later in her life, anywhere else? I have read that
children often experience things that adults tell them are "just your
imagination" or "just being silly" or worse. And that this dismissal of
their experiences causes them to ignore them and they lose the ability over
time. I just wonder what Debbie's feelings on this are. Does anyone out
there know? From her lyrics, one gets the feeling she believes in
the "spiritual" or the "paranormal", but I can't verify this by anything
I've read about her.
I thought some of you that know her might have some insight on this.
Getting Away,

What's even more pathetic is that I have three laserdiscs... "Absolute
Beginners" with Pasty Kensit and David Bowie, "The Complete Picture" and
"Tales From The Darkside: The Movie"... and I don't even HAVE a laserdisc
player!
But to offset the set, I only paid $2.99 for "Absolute Beginners" and
$14.99 for "Tales From The Darkside: The Movie". Who can pass up such a
deal?

price might go up or down. It is the best quality picture output you will
get on any TV & you
can make perfect copies to give to your friends.

Hmmm, just from being a fan for so many years, I think Chris is more into
the paramormal side of things than Debbie is. There's also a story about
the two of them talking with their minds to each other, when Chris was very
ill on tour one time, which prompted Debbie to write "Sound A Sleep".
And if Chris is friends with Nina Hagen, he's gotta believe some of what
she says, or have some similar interest.

found a listing for Debbie and the Jazz Passengers at the House of Blues in

I think it's Frank Infante. He wrote the song and in the Musikladen German
tv concert from 1978 they perform this song and Frank sings it with Debbie.

Subject: [DHBIS] Radio broadcasts...
I had to share this with everyone...I ran across a copy of a three
record set titled "Conversation with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein."
It is a 1981 copyright LP which was aired on the radio that same year.
It had a green label but no liner notes. I have not yet heard it
as I have not made it home yet. I can't wait to find out what it
includes. Does anyone out there know anything more about it? I paid
$29.99 for it. Is this a good price?
Also, at the same record shop (Lost & Found in Knoxville, Tenn.) I
found a picture disc of Rapture. It is a 12" LP with Debbie's face
on the front (it's an enlargement of the picture from the original
Rapture single). On the back, it is red with the words "Rappin'
Rapture" in a fancy script. I did not buy it for two reasons: 1.
The picture of Debbie was of poor quality - it appeared this was a
result of the enlargement process used (it was very grainy); 2. The
price was $19.99 and I thought this was a bit much. Do any of you
know whether this is worth adding to my collection? I thought it was
odd that there was no record company name anywhere on the sleeve or
on the record. Could it have been a bootleg?
Any info about the above items will be appreciated. Thanks.

Folks,
Here is all I know about the California shows for Debbie and the Jazz
Passengers(info from Ticketmaster Online - http://www.ticketmaster.com/):
Coach House
September 5th, 1996
8:00pm
San Juan Capistrano, CA
House of Blues
October 24th, 1996
7:30pm(all ages show) and 11:00pm(21 and over show)
Hollywood, CA
I hope that helps some of you out there. The closer it gets to the 9th,
the less likely it seems that Debbie will be in Atlanta. If I don't have
any details by tomorrow night, I'm just going to have to assume the show is
off for whatever reason.
I can't expect my friends to go with me all that way and spend the day
looking in every club and concert hall in Atlanta(even though I would do it
if there was even the smallest chance to see her). Oh well.........maybe
some other time I will be able to fulfill a life-long dream. At least I
have my records and pictures of her, if no memories yet.

P.S. Does anyone out there like the song "11:59" as much as I do? I can't
seem to get enough of it these
days.

There was an interview done for Autoamerican which was called "At Home With

the record... so DJs could ask the questions on tape and splice the answers
in (so it sounded like they were actually talking to Debbie and Chris).
This may be the same interview.

This is the above interview, with a guy doing the question sheet thing...
asking the questions and then splicing Debbie and Chris in. He recorded the

It's not *too* bad, but it's unfortunate you don't have the cue sheets.
The cue sheets got separated from most of the copies of that record.
I could make you a photocopy....
$15 per record for live LP's is a "good" price, but depending on condition,
$30 isn't terrible. Usually a dealer at a show would take an offer $5
less than their set price, but this usually doesn't work at record shops
and mail order.

Subject: Re: [DHBIS] Hanging on the Telephone (Live)
I wrote the list this same letter, but noone responded. Here's what it
says in the liner notes: (more at the bottom)
"Hanging on the Telephone" (live)- Blondie
Though her name has become synonymous with New York City and the DIY
punk ethos, Debbie Harry's early- and mid-eighties material is more
often touted under a different heading; she is credited (courtesy of
the sultry #1 smash "Heart of Glass") with ushering in the 80's and
the subsequent tidal that was still "new wave". Still, her roots-
and her accomplices- have always been steeped in punk; this live
version of the Jack Lee classic, "Hanging On The Telephone" is a
suitable snippet of the frenetic energy that powered BLONDIE for
almost a decade. In true punk fashion, the emphasis is on the
delivery- more guitar, more vocals, more volume...and faster. (The
band sounds as if the 2:24 it takes to get the song out is two minutes
too long.) The combination makef for a raucous moment in Blondie
history.
Unfortunately, the master lacks a specific date and venue of this
performance. (Surely, the true fan is intuitive enough to place it
chronologically, if not geographically.) Debbie has released 3 solo
albums in the wake of the Blondie split-up, most recently 1993's
DEBRAVATION. The original band members are all but lost in the annals
of time, save for Clem Burke, who recently joined the reunited
Plimsouls for a series of LA performances and an impending album.

no, definitely not Debravation period (1993). This is 78 or 79.
I need to buy this and compare it to my tapes. Dallas was one of
the show bootlegged onto LP. I'd be very surprised if it were a
different recording. I'd bet money it was summer of 79. I have
the exact dates somewhere. Blondie only did a few shows there,
it shouldn't be that hard to determine the exact date and venue.
I just haven't had time to go look for this record!

Actually, I think it IS from a different show. I have HEART OF GLASS which
is one of the bootlegs from the Dallas show and the version of Heroes and I
Feel Love on HOG are the ones we all heard before. . However Hangin On the
Tele is not the same as on Sedated in the 80's. Does anyone know if A
Sexual Response is the exact same show as Heart Of Glass unedited or is it
just from the same time? The order of songs they have in common is
different. I have been looking for ASR for a while because it seems to be
the best version: a double cd.

For everyone who asked about the Rockbird colors, here is an article
from Fan Mail #2, July 1988:
Debbie Likes The Orange
According to an informative and interesting article in "Only Music" from
March, 1987, four different releases of the Rockbird album exist, with
the lettering in orange, yellow, green, and magenta. Debbie's favorite is
the orange, but she also likes the magenta.
The article also informs us that the record company decides which singles
will be released, but that "French Kissin'" also happened to be Debbie's
first choice, although she would have preferred it to be released during
the summer.

Yes. Buy a copy of Fan Mail #15 from me, there's a whole article
about them.
In response to the original question I have two items. I'm not so sure this
is perfectly relevant to the DH list but it's close enough, and after all
someone asked...
Basically, my position is officially that I don't condone bootlegging
nor do I participate in it. My unofficial position, however, which
reflects my personal beliefs and is consistent with most collector's
opinions, is that bootlegging does not detract from a performer's
income and if the record company doesn't make live material available
for purchase, they should keep their mouth shut. Don't forget to read
my intro sheets for the DHCS on Louis's DH home page!
The rest of this, obviously, applies only to bootlegged LIVE recordings,
not someone copying a commercial CD and giving it away or selling it.
If something's available to buy, and you don't buy your own copy, as
far as I'm concerned, you're stealing from the artist. But that's an
entirely different issue. On to the live recordings questions...
First, the following article reprint from my Fan Mail publication,
issue #13, July 1991.
-----
Problems Locating Videotape?
A number of collectors have written to express difficulty in obtaining
videotapes of Debbie. Although I cannot condone trading for or illegal
duplication of video material which is still in production because someone
is making a profit at Deborah's expense, I will provide,
on request, the names of consenting individuals who have and are willing
to TRADE other video material. Likewise with audio tapes, it is rarely
necessary to PURCHASE recordings unless you require a perfect quality copy.
If you wish to be included on this list and are not, please let me know.
Finally, I do not maintain any records on individuals who don't have at least
a limited collection, or on dealers who bootleg concerts, distribute tapes
for bootleggers, or only SELL tapes. In this regard, you are on your own.
[BLK]
-----
Finally, here's an excerpt I wrote with a friend, for use in the
introduction to a book we were considering writing (it was a
comprehensive list of live recordings):
-----
...it is not the intention of this guide to
promote any of the listed items nor to encourage bootlegging or copyright
infringement. We do, however, oppose the invalid reasoning maintained by
most record companies that live tapes and bootleg albums reduce the value
of their existing material and detract from their profits. We recognize
that the majority of record collectors are genuine - and have as complete
a collection of their favorite artists as possible and want to locate that
"little bit more" that is commercially unavailable. We believe that
"little bit more" complements and in no way competes with regular official
releases, and is therefore not at the expense of the copyright owner. It
is false logic to assume that any fan sufficiently dedicated to locate and
obtain live material, or imports for that matter, is motivated by anything
other than the desire to expand his collection, which already includes
every available official release.
------
The only other comment I'd add is that although the artist really should
be getting a royalty for every copy that's sold or traded, they haven't
actually *lost* any money by not getting it. The only money that was
lost is because the record company didn't put out live product. That's
who cheated them out of income. Collectors just don't buy bootlegs
instead of commercial releases. They buy them in addition. I admire
artists who know this and let people record... or at least "off the
record" don't mind.

On the Blondie front, on the Gossip show (last clip of this weeks episode, I
saw it today, the 8th), it was reported that the Heads album, No Talking,
Just Head, has been completed and will feature Michael Hutchence (INXS) and
Deborah Harry among other guest vocalists. They showed a brief shot of
Debbie in a red dress with red hair. She looked good. I'm guessing that,
since the outfit was very conservative, and since she was on stage with a
band who I couldn't catch because the clip was so brief, that it may have
been a Jazz Passengers gig.

Well, here it is...
Debbie is not doing the Atlanta show tomorrow, it was cancelled by her
management because of contract problems.
Debbie will instead be in the Hamptons for the weekend relaxing.
Sorry.

Subject: [DHBIS] Debbie and "Wigstock, The Movie"
I've just come across a website dedicated to the "Lady" Bunny, organizer
of Wigstock:(http://members.aol.com/MadRuCher1/MissLadyBunny/index.html)
It seems she's none too pleased with the fact that Debbie's appearance
in "Wigstock, The Movie" was cut from the final release:
LB: "It was disappointing to me, 'cause more people were not included...
It is so unfair to all the performers who have been in Wigstock every
year to not even have their faces shown, because the director wanted to
showcase his friends "talents." I'm not only talking about well known
local queens like Linda Simpson, Varla Mermon, LaHoma VanZandt...but
also pop stars like Debbie Harry and India. I can't believe that he
didn't put Debbie Harry in the movie...I think it (the movie) can be
enjoyed, it is basically fun, but anyone who know's Wigstock know's how
crazy it is to put like two numbers of Flloyd and Mistress Formika when
you don't even have one snippet of Debbie Harry"

Do you know that on the video box for Wigstock there is a picture of Debbie
on the back from the last performance she did. They don't even mention that
it is her!!!!!!!!!!

My US (Geffen) CD of Rockbird has the magenta lettering, and that's all I've
ever seen for the US version. I just saw another one in a Boston used CD store
today; again, it was magenta.

I have an orange tape and a red/magenta cd. I've also seen an orange cd around.
I'm guessing the different colours exist for cds and tapes and lps...

The 3-record set is not the same as the interview which is on the
Rapture picture disc. I have only listened to the first record of
the three and it is the type of interview prepared by a radio network
for release on affiliate stations. The neat thing about it is that
it was sponsored by Honda and this is the type of car that Debbie was
supposedly driving in 1981. I plan to listen to the rest of the
interview over the course of the weekend and will report back with
any other details I feel are important.

Hey, it's a shame Debbie had to back out of the Atlanta gig planned
for this weekend. Are there plans to reschedule this venue? Better
yet, if she can't get to Atlanta, perhaps she could make it to
Johnson City, Tenn. I know for a fact there are a number of Debbie
fans within a 4 hour driving distance of this city and there would be
several likely places for her to have the gig. Adam, perhaps since
you are close to Debbie you could suggest this to her. I would be
happy to serve as a local contact to make the arrangements. However,
if this is not likely, try to get her to confirm a date/place for
Atlanta, Nashville or Knoxville. THANKS!

There is a picture of Debbie in the October 96 issue of SPY on page 66. She
looks really good (of course) with her hair up, holding a cigarette (shame,
shame) and a drink while ever so elegantly scratching her nose. The caption
reads:
Thumbing her nose at teetotaling pantywaists, aged rocker Debbie Harry gets
liquored up to go do donuts in the parking lot of the local 7-Eleven.
Vroom!

Subject: [DHBIS] Questions
Hi everyone, long time no post. I have various
Debbie/Blondie sighting and questions to report:
1-Entertainment magazine, June issue, has a pic of k.d. lang
kissing Debbie on the cheek. Debbie doesn't appear to be
enjoying it too much.
2-My Rockbird CD has magenta lettering.
3-Would like to take a vote as to the "best" Blondie or DH
video. My top three: "Union City Blue"--the video is just
perfect for the early days of video: the band on the docks,
the scenes of NYC, the end of the video with Debbie and the
guys clowning around; "Rapture," an all-time
classic--whoever came up with the concept for this video is
a genius; and "Island of Lost Souls," very campy & fun, and
Debbie looks great in it.
4-I checked out Frasier's Blondie homepage...very nice
indeed. I'd like to make a complaint, though--not directed
at Frasier! I checked out the reviews he posted...and saw
the trend that has always annoyed me: Critics saying that
verything up to Eat to the Beat is perfect, everything after
Eat to the Beat sucks. God, this is so frustrating! I
understand why Debbie feels she can't get a break. She gets
criticized because AutoAmerican, KooKoo, etc., are too
"esoteric," the lyrics too strange. So on Rockbird she has
simpler, more straightforward lyrics and melodies, and she
gets hammered for being too "simplistic." Aarrrgh!
Just venting some steam,
Steve

Yeah, no doubt. That's why I ignore critics. I hope Debbie does, too.
But
hey, Deb, when are you coming out to the west coast again? San Francisco
(a cheap hub city for her fans to fly into), Seattle or (hint hint)
Portland, Oregon?
Just get close! I took nine people to see her when she played with the Jazz
Passengers,
and I wanna see her again, like sometime before the year 2000, anyway.
And a little advance notice would be good. So? Huh? Huh?
Okay, I've vented now. ;)

Subject: [DHBIS] Paper magazine
I'm sure that someone must have already put this on the board earlier
this summer and I either just missed it or forgot about it, but here goes
anyway.
Debbie is interviewed by Joey Arias in the Summer issue of Paper
magazine with Beck on the cover. She talkes about Heavy, some Blondie stuff
and also a movie called Lipstick that she was in with Joey but which she says
must never have been completed. There's a picture of her in the article and
also on the back page with Michael Schmidt of Squeezebox. I know the
magazine is old because tye interview says that Heavy just opened, an ad says
that Trainspotting will be opening soon and in their club news section, they
have 1984 (a dance party that regularly plays Blondie and Debbie Harry stuff
in NYC) at Crowbar when it hasn't been there for about 1 1/2 to 2 months. I
don't know if it's still available, I got my copy from a stack of magazines
at the gym.

Subject: [DHBIS] REPLY TO 4TH "QUESTION"
who she is. And as admirers of Ms. Harry's creative talents, we should
not be belittling her personal expression and creative freedoms. Often I
have looked back at a song of hers that I thought previously to have
been somewhat opaque, and realize later on what a great song it actually
is. I find that if you give a song more than one chance, that it wins
you over with Deborah's style of music. SHe is that great of a genius to
where all of her songs are a delight. And nitpicking or venting
frustrations or dislikes about a song or two (or album!!!) of hers is
akin to going to an art show and telling the artist pointblank that his
art sucks. Sure...its America and you have that right, but I think that
if you keep up with the negative, that you will always be that way.
SO...think positvely...talk about those videos or songs that you
enjoy...and go on with your life. Don't offend Ms. Harry by saying "this
song sucks" or "everything after Eat to the Beat sucks." This is
too judgmental. As far as I am concerned, Deborah Harry is an
underestimated genius. So many have underestimated her talents over the
years and that really bothers me to no end.

I heard that last Friday, 1984 (now at Pyramid) played nothing but Debbie
videos for at least an hour and a half! I don't know why, but a friend of

Well my vote for the best Blondie video is Shayla, and Victor! and best
Deborah Harry video would be tough-- probably I Want That Man or Brite Side.
Speaking of videos- was their a video made for One Way or Another? I think
that would have be a blast!! To bad see hasn't made some videos with the JP's!!
Of course where would they play them?
Anyhow- Im looking to find some Blondie posters and buttons if their are
some out their. I really want the Racing poster we recently talked about. If
anybody wants to sell or trade with me . Email me privately!!
Also Dead Beat and Drop Dead Rock are the same movie right???!!!
Just making sure. Has any of you bought the video. Suncoast motion picture
co told me they can order it but that it is still rental protected so the
price is like 80 or 90 bucks.
Also- this goes to Adam or Barry, My other love in life is travelling to
amusement parks and riding roller coasters, I have always wondered if
Deborah enjoys those places and what parks she has been to if indeed she
does enjoy them. I meant to ask her when I met her at a JP's show last
winter but totally forgot. I would just love to ride a coaster with Deb and
enjoy a day at a good theme parks with her. To the List- what leisurely
activity would everyone like to par take in with Debbie if givin the
opportunity.
Wouln't be really cool to be a fly on the wall to watch an average evening
at Debbie's house. She might be sitting on the couch channel surfing, catch
a glimpse of the Rapture video on VH-1, giggle to herself, then passing HBO
to see an exploding wig from Hairspray, giggle to herself, onto Comedy
Central and a spot of SNL with musical guest Deborah Harry singing In Love
With Love,giggles to herself, "click,click" onto E! and The Gossip Show with
a brief Head's album update, giggles to herself, then passing CNN and a
headline story of the success of the Long Beach Gay Pride Festival,with
headliner Deborah Harry struting herself through classic Blondie and new
solo stuff, smiling, Deborah gets up and goes to the fridge and opens it ,
shuts it,opens it in hope of finding some appealing had appeared, grabs a
soda and returns to the couch......
Sorry didn't mean to go on so long!!

She watches TV from her bed and changes the channel as soon as anything
Blondie or Debbie comes on. Her couch is so full of Chi-Chan's hair it would
be a drag to sit on. She doesn't really drink soda, she drinks San Pelegrino
water or juice. As far as theme parks go, we went to a theme park in
Australia once, about 4 years ago. That's where the infamous

It was a Commodore Amiga. Chris still has it (but I've since replaced
it - some time ago - with a 486/100) but the monitor is almost totally

I always thought sitting around reading through books and magazines with

That's a _Commodore_ Amiga,specifically the 1000,which was a little pizza
box thing.The
Amiga was a revolutionary design,but superbly incompetent management and a
few design problems killed it.
I assume a screen dump was saved and in fact have tried to find it
myself,but even the diehard Amiga people on the net seem to "know nothing".

I think this is a really fine bootleg, but I always thought that it was
"standard" to charge about 20 bucks per disc for bootlegs (and I did spend $40
for my copy), so I'd say that you did get gouged a bit.

Not yet, but there's an article with some of them in the DHCS newsletter

A lot. Maybe 30.
Eventually I intend to convert my databases of magazines and records
for use on the web. However, I am so swamped with work, and I can't
find enough people with computers and a database program to help me get
the databases done. I have all the information, but it's an enormous
job to get it all in one place. I'm thinking about trying to set up
some kind of data-entry form on the web, so people can enter the
fields for items they have that are missing from the main list, into
the form, at which time I will add them to the list.

It's from the film, "8 1/2". It was written by Nino Rota. The track
is the first track to the original Debravation (before the record company
made them re-do it). The last track on the original is "On A Breath",
written by Leigh Foxx.
If you don't have the original, it's called Debravation Producer's Cut.
You can't buy it anywhere except from me. I have copies available...
they are $16.70 (one CD in a simple black & white package with jewel box).

*Deborah Harry, Richard Hell And Others Join The Heads*
>>The Talking Heads, minus Ex-head Head David Byrne, have put the finishing
touches on their first post-Byrne project, dubbed "No Talking, Just Head"
under the moniker The Heads. The record, which is due out October 8, finds
the remaining Heads--Tina Weymouth, Chris Franz and Jerry
Harrison--soldiering on with a cavalcade of singers to replace the nervous
one, who didn't want to have anything to do with the project. Tina
Weymouth, Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde, Pretty and Twisted) and
Deborah Harry (Blondie) share vocals on "Punk Lolita," and young NYC spoken
word performer named Malin Anneteg handles another new song titled "No More
Lonely Nights." Other guest vocalists include Maria McKee, Richard Hell,
Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes), Ed Kowalczyk (Live), Michael Hutchence (INXS),
Shaun Ryder (Black Grape) Gavin Friday, and Andy Partridge (XTC). The CD
was produced by the band. When they take the show on the road in
mid-October, Napolitano will be the touring singer, although we doubt she'll
be slipping into the big suit for the occasion.<<
Does anyone know what the first single might be? Also, will "No Talking,
Just Head" be included on the album? If so, maybe it will get released as a

The first official announcement of the reforming of Blondie.
Debbie, Chris, Gary, Clem, Jimmy and Nigel (minus Frank who left early in
Blondie's career) went to the Hit Factory here in New York over the last 2
weeks to record 2 NEW songs for an upcoming compilation record.
The tracks were produced by Blondie producer Mike Chapman and I'm told they
are great. It has been a secret till now, but I got the go ahead to announce
it here first.
As of now, no other plans have been made to do anything else together, but
time will tell.
As soon as I hear anything else, I'll let you guys know.

What are they calling this compilation, No, Really, The Best of Blondie.
Just annoyed at the glut of Blondie compilations out there, but still looking
forward to the new songs. You can slam me for this, but it doesn't do her

Hi All:
New Blondie stuff - yay!!!!!!
Another "opportunity" to buy Heart of Glass et al - boo!!!!!!
I'm very interested to hear the new Blondie tracks, and would buy them no matter
how they were packaged, but when oh when will Chrysalis stop fleecing Blondie
fans? Has any other group suffered as much from the thoughtless repackaging
that Blondie has? Hmm, let's see. Heart of Glass (on CD) can be purchased on
Parallel Lines, Best of Blondie, the Platinum Collection, Once More Into the
Bleach, Remixed Remade Remodelled, Beautiful, The Complete Picture, and the
remix CD single. How convenient for the comsumers among us.
Sorry to grumble. I really am excited about the reunion news - the idea of
Debbie and the boys recording again is divine. If the songs are good, then
that's all I'll need to be happy. But, if they get any airplay, that might be a
big help in boosting Debbie's solo career. Maybe she should quickly follow up
the Blondie stuff with a new solo single or album, to ride the wave of publicity
a reunion will generate.

When a label continually repackages the same old stuff with some
new little twist, it makes me angry with the label. (I've vowed to
*never* buy anything on Motown for this reason.) And, irrationally,
perhaps, it reduces my respect for the artist. Not that the artist
*necessarily* was a part of the greed of the re-issuing. But, if
nothing else, it makes their catalog seem more diluted: "Was this a
real band, or did they just make these 16 good songs?!"
Hope it works out for Debbie et. al. though. And maybe it'll
persuade them to get together again and do an album's worth!

Subject: [DHBIS] New Blondie/Old Blondie
I wonder if we could find an email address for Chrysalis to request a whole
album? I suppose what's happening is that they are experimenting with the
idea of bringing Blondie back together... and sales of this album will
fortell future Blondie albums (I can't believe I'm saying that... future
Blondie albums). They are probably wanting to start out slow.
If they are going to put out a new Blondie compilation, they should
immediately stop production of the old compilations. Perhaps they already
have? I know the Blondie section at my local Tower is shrinking... there
was only two "Blonde And Beyond"s and one "Platinum Collection". They
usually have lots in stock. So maybe the old albums are out of print?
Nitpicker that I am, I think there was something wrong with the packaging
of all of Blondie's compilations, starting with "The Best Of Blondie", with
Clem and Jimmy holding a flash that didn't work the way it was supposed to
(tacky tacky for the cover of an album) to the "Platinum Collection", with
terrible art direction (the picture inside of the band in front of the PL
stripes should have been the cover, not a fuzzy picture of a cheesy picture
disc).
Still I am looking forward to the release, and I suggest everyone buy it
(and also [especially] a single if they release one), so that Chrysalis
will get the message we want more!

I totally agree. I am sure we are all happy about the new songs, and who of
us doesn't have several complications already? How many remixes of the same
songs can one buy?
Isn't there suppose to be a wealth of unreleased Blondie material? Isn't
there someway to relay to D. Harry and the rest of Blondie that
unreleased/new material would be a god-send? If there is so much red tape,
why can't Blondie just release new material under a different name or find
some other way around the tape?
I'm annoyed too. I just want more stuff to listen to, not the same songs
repackaged again.

I've noticed from previous DHBIS mailing-list posts that you are a newish
Blondie/Debbie collector.
From my 17 years of collecting I've acquired MANY, great rarities. Some
are one-of-a-kind more or less too. This list are the most pricie items but
are WELL worth it!
If you're a hardcore fan of Deb's then these items are for you! Please
let me know.
The first is one of the limited artist's proofs of Robert William's
fantastic painting "Debbie Harry's Fears". The artist's proof were limited
to ONLY 50. The issue I have is number 47 of 50. It is signed by both the
artist, Robert Williams and Debbie in pencil along the bottom, it is also
listed as 47/50 (47 of 50).
The artist's proof is not to be confused with the standard issue (general
public release) of several hundred that were sold through studios.
Mine has been professionally matted & framed and looks beautiful! In fact,
the framing ran as much as the proof itself. PRICE---> $350.
Second is an original US RIAA platinum LP award for Autoamerican. It was
awarded to some Chrysalis record exec at the time. Truly a beautiful item!
The silver wood-like frame suites the platinum record nicely. Not too many
were produced like this one. PRICE---> $350.
BOTH of these items make great displays! They're all hanging in my living
room right now.
Third: THE 3LP set "Supergroups In Concert" ABC radioshow 1980.
w/cue sheet and official box. Includes "Heroes" & "I Feel Love".
Goes for over $200. in Goldmine nowadays. . . asking $155.
I'll have them professionally packaged before sending them to you in the
manner of your choice. 'tanks!

How do you explain the sleeve notes to the Platinum collection ?.
I know Deborah & Chris did not have any input but the others did.

No one is making you buy these Re-issue's . Its up to you if you want to

Hope everyone saw part 1 of VH1's 70's documentaries last night. It was called
Power To The People, and was about politics and music from the 70's. During the
punk segment was a short blurb from Debbie (she mentioned how punk in America
was a personal and artistic statement, as opposed to being the political and
social statement it was in the UK), and then there was part of a clip of Blondie
doing Dreaming (and it was NOT the video from Best of Blondie). It was a very
unexpected surprise.
This morning (at 8:00AM Eastern Standard Time) VH1 was doing a block of
"Liberated Ladies " of the 70's, and the cardboard cutout known as Donny Osmond
introduced a clip that he said would be Tina Turner doing Proud Mary. What
followed was the Heart Of Glass video. Nice to see Debbie and the boys; too bad
the discussion was about Tina. Oh well. Still, it looks like this weeklong
70's theme on VH1 will mean more Debbie than usual. Enjoy.

I asked Chris about this. He said he didn't know of an electronic copy
(and he has that actual computer). Essentially they just ran a video
camera into the somewhat-primitive video capture board/utility that ran
on the Amiga (Chris's is an Amiga 2000), and that was about it. Chris
said it was published in an Amiga magazine the year the computer was
introduced, which if I recall would have been 1981.

I was very pleasantly surprised by that footage...it most definitely was
shot some time before '78. I heard that director John Cassavetes shot an
unreleased documentary on Blondie during the early days and (provided that
wasn't just a rumor) wondered if that was where the footage was salvaged
from.
Incidentally, I saw somewhere that Amos Poe's '76 documentary called BLANK
GENERATION is actually available on video. I saw this at UMASS years ago,
and although it's very crude (it's b/w, and the soundtrack is not even
synched to the action on screen), it's a terrific look at the very early
Blondie (so early that Clem and Gary Valentine have long hair!). It also
features a lot of other bands from the CBGB/Max's circuit (Patti Smith,
Ramones, Wayne County,etc.), so if you see it, it's definitely worth a
peek.

Underground Girl is a Frank Infante song that wasn't included on ETTB.
It was first mentioned in a magazine around the time of ETTB.
Scenery was written by Gary Valentine around 1976. They used to perform
it live.
There is an article about these songs in Fan Mail #15. If you haven't
purchased one, you're *really* missing something. There's also an
interesting note there about the "Once I Had A Love" track! I have
lots of Fan Mails left (38 pages professionally printed on gloss paper,
with *unpublished* photographs). Do yourselves a favor and send me

Well. I saw the VH1 show "8-Track Flashback" and it's episode "She's A
Rebel". 10 minutes on Helen Reddy and they couldn't show Debbie untill the
closing credits????? How lame!!!!!! I think Debbie just doesn't get any
respect on these kind of things. Blondie certainly doesn't get any credit
for practically creating New Wave and bringing Rap to public attention.
Well.....go figure.......
I went down to a local record store to try to get over my annoyance and in
the books and magazine section, they had a stapled together pamphlet from
an outfit called Babylon Books that was simply titled "Blondie". It
contained several pictures of Debbie and the band that I had never seen
before. It has short articles on the band that appear to be clippings from
British newspapers and a discography up to Eat to the Beat.Does anyone know
about this. I'd love to get some details. All the photos are credited to
"Peter Still Photography", but there is no information as to who or what
put this together except "Babylon Books".
Please let me know if anyone out there has seen this before or knows
anything about it.Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I read the Andy Warhol Diaries, and he had an entry about this day. I
can't find the book in this library I call a living room (as usual) but I
recall him saying something like he did a scribble, not knowing ANYTHING
about the mouse or the Amiga, and kind of scribbled again for a few
minutes, practicing to do the picture of Debbie, and the press saw it.
They thought the scribbling WAS the portrait of Debbie, and oohed and ahhed
about it, so someone printed it out and held it up for them to take
pictures of and he never actually did a picture of her. Andy was quite
amused by the whole thing.

Subject: [DHBIS] Suzy & Jeffrey & Victor too
and a few other interviews he and Debbie did around that time (and I guess it's
probably in Making Tracks, too), Suzy & Jeffrey tells the story of a guy and a
girl who, if my memory serves me correctly, had just come from getting their
blood test so they could get a marriage license. Jeffrey was in a black leather
hardcore group called Deprogrammer. He and Suzy had some kind of an argument
and whoever was driving ended up smashing the car into the wall of the recording
studio. Everybody ran outside to see what was going on and there was this
sportscar just sitting there, totalled. Suzy and Jeffrey got out of the car and
all Jeffrey could say to Nigel was, "Pretty Baby--what a great song!" (or
something to that effect). He gave Blondie a copy of Deprogrammer's record,
which I believe was called "Slammed in the Door." Orson Welles was also in the
studio on that day, so that's where that reference came from.
As for the Victor controversy, I just always assumed that Victor was writing the
letter to Anastasia and that Annette was his nickname for her or something like
that. The video shows Victor (Chris) escaping from behind enemy lines and
Debbie (Anastasia/Annette) finding the letter that he had left sticking to the
wall with a dagger. It's extremely moving! But I've always wondered exactly
who was being forced to dance like a whore. According to the admittedly vague
narrative of the song, it would appear to be Victor. Which certainly might have
been a major factor in his decision to try and escape. Right?

Subject: [DHBIS] Compilations
I know we've all been blasting the numerous Blondie
compilations, but can I make a few comments in favor of
them?
1. Clearly, the record company is issuing these things
because of the pent-up demand for new material by Debbie!
This shows that she still has a strong fan base in this and
other countries. If she'd give us an album a year, there
would't be the need for the compilations!
2. I do feel that I've gotten things on each of the
compilations that have been worth the price:
a. The Best of Blondie--This came out way back when, so it
probably shouldn't count. But it did have the very first
remixes of Rapture and Heart of Glass. Plus it had Call Me,
which up til then you could only get on a 45 or the American
Gigolo soundtrack.
b. Once More Into the Bleach--OK, it had some misfires (The
Tide Is High remix is terrible), but I do love the Denis and
Backfired remixes. It also has two of Debbie's songs from
soundtracks, Rush Rush and Feel the Spin, which make it
worth the price.
c. Blonde & Beyond - This is worth it not only for Once I
Had a Love, but also Scenery (a song that *every* Blondie
fan seems to love...how could it not have been on an album?)
It also has Ring of Fire and Heroes...two other things worth
paying for.
d. Remixed/Remade/Remodeled and Beautiful - I think the U.K.
version is much better--the Heart of Glass remix is truly
excellent (why oh why didn't they put it on the American
version?) There are also some misfires here (One Way or
Another is awful), but some awesome mixes that give great
songs a new perspective (including Utah Saints' Dreaming and
The Tide Is High Sand Dollar mix).
e. Platinum Collection - Worth it for those four early
demos! Also, the sound quality is much, much better than on
my Blondie, Plastic Letters, and Parallel Lines CDs. I also
loved the stories told by the guys on the liner notes. I
agree with whoever said that the cover was terrible, though!
f. The Complete Picture - Nice in that it includes more
recent DH solo stuff, along with Did Ya Ever from Red Hot &
Blue.
The idea of 2 new Blondie songs is incredibly wonderful.
Frankly, I think Debbie should take advantage of the
70's/80s Renaissance. People think it's nostalgia for the
past, but I think it's that people are realizing how great
the music was back then, and they want it back, especially
after the angry rap of the 80s and the depressing grunge
dirges of the 90s.
I understand why DH wants to keep the new material close to
her vest, but I think she needs a lesson in PR! The more we
know, the more we can start harassing record stores and
radio stations to get them and play them. The release of
these songs should be a BIG DEAL, not something quiet and
private! MTV DJs and gossip columnists should be talking
about the upcoming Blondie reunion.
Just my two (longwinded) cents,

Subject: [DHBIS] i love your car
unuseful Debbie trivia. Last night I went to the movies (Trigger
Effect-don't see it) and I was with Jonathan Bernstein, who was a co-writer
of "Strike Me Pink". I had never met him before so as soon as I was
introduced to him I started singing the song and he got all embarassed.
Anyway, I asked him if he was mad that she made her own lyrics and he
didn't comment but looked dissappointed. He said the original title of the
song was "I love your car" and it was meant to be a direct lift from the Pet
Shop Boys song "Heaven" (I hope this title is right, i'm not too familiar
with PSB music). Anyway, I sarcastically asked him if the song made him a
wealthy man and he told me he had more change in his pocket than he earned
from that song. He was impressed, though, that I knew the chords and I told
him that my friend and I do a slow, smokey version of SMP on the piano. I
also told him that they shouldn't have added those fake horns into the mix on
the album and he actually likes that part. We both joked that the reason the
single never made it really big was because of the "working mom of the
1940's" picture of Debbie. Although I love almost any picture of DH I have
to say that is my least favorite (As a matter of fact, I had a chance to buy
an original of the SMP photo from the photographer himself but declined.). I
always felt that she should've just worn a pink wig or something.
As far as unreleased Blondie stuff, apparantly there are a few tracks
that the band made with Gorgio Moroder between Call Me and Autoamerican but
they were never used because they sounded pretty bad. Can anyone get their
hands on that stuff? I doubt it.
--------One more thing and I'll stop annoying everyone. Can anyone get a
copy of "Angels Song" from ROCK N RULE? My friend Jon used to have it on
tape and someone stole it. It appears in the movie in a chopped up version
but he used to have the entire thing from a radio interview. It's the same
music as Maybe for Sure but different lyrics, which I will post if anyone is
interested. I would love to get a copy of this to give to my friend as a
gift. Let me know.

Actually, the release will not be private. She just doesn't want people
speculating that there will be a reunion.
At this point, and most probably any point, there won't be anything done
besides this release and there isn't even a record company for the two songs
yet.
Debbie's been doing this for a little while longer than most of us and I
trust she knows what she's doing.

I agree completely! It's amazing that everything seems like some
kind of secret. The new stuff that's totally uncertain, I understand
that, but I can't get information about shows even after they're
confirmed (almost always hear about them from someone who reads it
in the local paper), or about new TV appearances, etc. With all
due respect, things like this, or turning down the Tom Snyder show
at the last minute, just don't make good sense.

Yeah, a friend of mine got it in Seattle at a used record store, and I was
always jealous, until I found it advertised in Goldmine Magazine and
got it for just 3 dollars! Whee! I can't recommend Goldmine highly

misfire on "Remixed, Remade, Remodeled". Damien's Supermarket Mix is
very odd, but ingenius. However, "Damien's Express Checkout Dub", which
appears only on the vinyl 12" release of "Union City Blue" is a total
waste of an excellent song. This dub version lasts just over 15 minutes
and goes nowhere. The Utah Saints' mix of "Dreaming", in my
opinion, is a misfire though. Does anyone know if "One Way Or Another"

It's old news, so to speak, and a great song, but it's already been remixed

If Debbie puts out a solo remix album, that'd be different. But I wish
she'd do it herself if it has to come out. Debbie and the hot remixer of
the week sounds so much better than Debbie's vocals on tape and the hot
remixer of the week.

Um, a guy could be called a whore, especially if he was a dancer being used
to promote the government instead of the arts.
I think Victor was a dancer, he was being exploited in (by?) Russia, he
wanted to defect to the US and be free and he wrote a note to Annastasia
right before he left, because he had to leave immediately when he got the
chance. He called her Annett for short, who's gonna call someone Annastasia
all the time... :)
It makes sense, especially since Russian defection was a common scenerio in
the 70s anyway.

The first is from Anastasia to Victor.
"Dear Annett,
Soon I'll be with you before they know, before the show.
I'm not a whore. I dance no more. I'll be with you across the border."
She knows that he has to flee the country (for political reasons?) and
she's telling him that she is willing to give up her life (dancing for
the Czar and his court?) to cross the border with him.
I could never make out the words between "Dear" and "I'll" so I always
thought it was a Russian name? term of endearment? title? that Anastasia
was calling Victor.
The second is his reply to her.
"Dearest Anastasia,
I'm leaving soon. I'm sorry too, but burn this letter. Burn my picture.
They won't know I've crossed the border.
Love, Victor."
He has decided that he has to leave without her and wants her to burn
his letter and picture so that they won't be able to connect her to him,
thus keeping her out of danger.
Anastasia is then screaming "Don't leave me alone" etc. because she
didn't want him to leave without her.

My notion of this ditty varies from that review. It is the first song on my "I Night" tape, tape #4 in my series. I do not think of it as OWOA as much as a demure, ever-changing, beat-boxy journey through effects and samples.

Well, Did You Evah can be found on the Red Hot and Blue compilation from a
few years back (i think 1990?) and it has various other Cole Porter songs
on it sung by Neneh Cherry, U2, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, and The

Greetings:
I luv Deb and I love this list. This is my first posting. I been following
for about a month and appreciate all the scoop.
Just wanted to write in to add my own "Victor" musings. I live with Deb's
youngest fan, my 4 and 1/2 year old daughter. See watches/listens the to
ETTB video almost every day. She knows the words (sort of) to every song on
the album/tape. She is most affected by "Victor." She will always asked
why Deb is crying. Is Victor Deb's Husband? Why does he call Deb
Anastasia? . . . We use this opportunity to explain story telling. The
story I've told her about "Victor" pretty much matches what others have
said. My daughter wants to grow up and be like Deb and sing her stories for
everyone. The one thing she is still not too sure of is how Deb got black
hair for "The Hardest Part."

I found the article I originally referred to while I was going through some
stuff for Barry's publications database. It was in the New Musical Express
dated 11 January 1986 and the picture which is credited to A. Tannenbaum
shows Debbie leaning on the computer and Andy Warhol seated in front of it
holding a mouse.
The article that goes with the picture is by Cynthia Rose and states _Andy
Warhol is Debbie's other biggest fan. She has just helped him endorse the
Commodore Amiga home computer lending her famous features for a portrait he
created in front of a full house at the Lincoln Center. He just called up
and asked me to model," says Harry, "so I did it - and now Chris and I get
one of these things to play with at home."_ In retrospect, it does look
like the image may be just a screen capture although it does appear to be
signed, what a pity it wasn't saved to disk!
Coincidentally I also found a magazine called Art Review dated March 1994
which has Debbie Harry by Andy Warhol on the cover (and another similar one
inside). These both look like tinted photos similar to ones he did of other
celebrities.
Cheers,
Andy.

or the writer of VICTOR made up the dancing content to make it more
70-ish for the times. Personally, I never gave the song too much thought
and I really just like the way the song sounds. It's so ahead of its
time for when it was put out on the EAT TO THE BEAT album. Also, on
that same album, I adore LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD and DIE YOUNG, STAY
PRETTY. These were some of the first Blondie songs I ever heard, since I

Subject: [DHBIS] Blondie "Reunion"
Why is Debbie so adamant about being "un-associated" with anything
Blondie? I've read in several articles/interviews that she will
NEVER reform Blondie. Why? Is she just tired of that scene?
Personality conflicts with other members? I would think that she
would relish the chance to reform the group if she thought it would
be very successful. Don't get me wrong---I love her solo material.
But in all honesty I found her more dynamic when the group was still
together. Since you seem to know her so well, I am just going to
ask a very direct question---IF a record company released the two new
tracks that the temporarily-reformed Blondie recorded a few weeks ago,
and the songs charted well, would she consider making the
arrangement permanent again? Just curious...

Folks,
Forgive me as one who came in late if this has been covered before, but
WHO is Adam1962 and what is his relationship to Debbie? He seems to be the
list's
main source of first-hand information on Debbie and its obvious that he
knows her well.
If this is too personal a question, I apologize and immediately withdraw

I cannot agree with this. She has done a zillion songs, done many

This is all meaningless. The fact of the matter is that Debbie said she
didn't remember the song. Maybe she was lying but I can't imagine why. I
guess none of you out there have heard of artists using teleprompters to
"remember" the lyrics to their own songs. We're talking about a song that she

of course they are not going to remember it. I have read that bands like
the Stones have to go and listen to their old recordings to remember how the
songs go before they play them on the road. Most musicians you must
remember don't make it a habit of listening to their own songs. It's
only us koo-koo fans who memorize everything the bands we love have ever
done. I also think it's funny how fans know all the exact dates of every

I don't see why people are making this a big deal anyway? What are we

Why is this such a big deal to everyone? I can see how an artist could
forget a song or a poem, etc. I am a poet/writer and there are many
times when I look back and I do remember the song, but don't remember
what caused me to write it. That was the question posed to her... what
was the story behind Victor. Gosh folks, that WAS a long time ago. It
wasn't a very popular track, if my memory serves me correclty.

Folks,
Lisa is exactly right. I've been the lead singer of my band since 1987,
and we've recorded several songs on tapes and EPs that I would be hard
pressed to explain the origins behind all of them; unless I had just
listened to them for some reason. Most of the time I concentrate on what we
are working on RIGHT NOW and what we are doing at the next show. Even if we
decide to dust off an old song to do at a show, we usually learn the song
from scratch and try not to listen to the old recording. It keeps the
material fresh and brings a vision to it that is new. We've had people
actually get mad at us at shows because they want us to do a song we did
several years ago. And they don't believe us when we tell them we don't
remember the song. We know we did it, but we couldn't play it right there.
I'm sure Debbie meant much the same thing when she said she didn't remember
"Victor". She knows the song by name, but she probably couldn't remember
all the lyrics and their meanings off the top of her head(if there is any
particular "meaning" to them).

OK. This whole "Victor" thing has gone on too long. It doesn't really matter
anymore but now I've gotta put my own two cents worth in. I would be willing to
bet Debbie remembers this song perfectly well only it was co-written by Frank
Infante and in an early interview with Chris Stein, I remember him talking about
how it was a direct steal from, I think a Marianne Faithful song. I have a
feeling this song leaves a really bad taste in Debbie's mouth and it was just
easier for her to say, "I don't remember it." Ofcourse, I don't know Debbie at
all so I could be way off the mark, but nonetheless, that's what I think.

This is all meaningless. The fact of the matter is that Debbie said she

guess none of you out there have heard of artists using teleprompters to

Zaltru,
I can't take it anymore!!
First, please let me apoligize to all on the list for this post not
being related to DH/Blondie, but I feel it is important because it is
affecting all of us. I'm intentionally posting this to the whole DHBIS list,
so that the others might benefit from the knowledge that this isn't only
happening to them, and that someone is finally speaking up about it. These
files from your posts are being sent to ALL on the list, so it is affecting
everyone.
Why is it that every other post by you contains a file attached called
"WINMAIL.DAT" ??!
This has happened in a MINMUM of 8 of your posts. The first few times,
the files were named whatever the subject of the thread was you were posting
in, and now they are always called "WINMAIL.DAT". This leads me to believe
that you don't know what you are doing at all, having screwed up in more
ways than one.
Please fix this problem in your e-mail program configuration, your
method of sending, or whatever it is that is causing this. It is getting
very annoying finding these mysterious files that have been downloaded into
my various download directories from only those posts sent by YOU ("Zaltru").
I guess I am sort of a "lurker" here. I haven't posted much to the
list, but I always read all the messages. However, this is the SECOND time
I've been compelled to speak up about problems with YOUR posts. First it was
your many postings of non-Deb/Blondie related ramblings (which I
"complained" about first, then a few others spoke up to you about it as
well). Now it's this!
Learn how to post or don't post at all.
Thank you.....Goodnight.

As for the Victor thing, I think it's a testament to the mystique Blondie
created that people are still arguing 17 years later about that song!
Did anyone see the religious channels back in 1980-83 when they were
burning Blondie records? They thought Blondie was promoting suicide because
of "Die Young Stay Pretty". Some people don't have a sense of humor.
I wonder if anyone out there has seen any translations of the "Invocation
To Papa Legba" or "Moroccan Rock" tracks? Or even lyrics? I sing along to
both of these, but I sure would like to know what Debbie is saying.

Are you serious? There was a Bloom County cartoon about this which
I mentioned in one of my newsletters! There were these people from
the moral majority who came into a record store to buy Blondie records
to burn! And it was hilarious. I should scan it in.

Yeah, I remember the Religious "Right" condemning Blondie and "Die Young
Stay Pretty" in the early 80s. A church-going friend of mine played me a
recorded sermon in which the preacher blasted Blondie for telling their
audience to kill themselves so they could remain eternally young and
beautiful. I'm sure it was also meant as a personal attack on Debbie, who
was one of the most visible female sex symbols of that time.
I never saw the Bloom County strip. That would be a great item for the DH

the KOO KOO cover art. It was done by H.R. GIGER, who also did the sets
for Alien, amongst other films. I picked up a GIGER book at the book
store the other day and there is a whole two pages devoted to Deborah
Harry. He did three to four prints of that same picture. I believe that
another print would have been the best choice for the cover, but the one
they have chosen does not 'mess up' her face with any kind of art. THe
majority of her face and facial skin is unobstructed, whereas in the
other prints there are lines, scars and even dots all over the place.
I would recommend anyone who wants to learn more about this to pick up a
GIGER book. I got mine at a Half Price Books store here in Dallas, and
it only cost me $13.00.
