OK, those of you who are concerned about Debbie not getting enough air time. Take Five. There's an upshot to all of this. Do we really want SABRINA taking that much time from Debbie Harry's other obligations? I don't think so. They can have her every fourth Sunday afternoon for filming as far as I'm concerned. The rest of the time she and her band Blondie (Remember them?) need to be writing and preparing for the best album of their career!! Besides, if Debbie goes on tour, who could possibly replace her on Sabrina, uhhhh, Not Anyone, Not now, Not Ever!! Consider the cameos as a delightful and delectable occasional treat offered up to us by the Queen of the USA, Debbie Harry -- Nothing more, nothing less. Deron TO BARRY (DHBIS): Come on Barry, give us the details. I know you are holding out!!! :) Even if it's simple info like, the tape was moved from shelve A to Shelve B because Shelve A needed to be dusted, would be important information to me. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [DHBIS] Sabrina the Teenaged Witch Author: Bill Maguire at HALSIC_CCSMTP Date: 9/30/96 12:27 PM At 09:16 PM 9/27/96 -0500, you wrote: > I guess I was just hoping for a "bigger" part for Debbie.

Folks, I agree with Deron-HALSIC Giuliani 100%. Debbie's work with the band should always be foremost. This is where the full force of Debbie's talent can be brought to the world. It's great seeing her on television and in films, but I'd trade all of it for just one of her songs.

I thought "Sabrina, the Teenaged Witch" was relatively cute for one of ABC's "TGIF" programs. These all seem to be greared to kids or families, so I don't ever expect too much from them. It was good to see Debbie though, even for such a brief appreance. Hopefully the Fox-tv movie she's making will bring more of Debbie to the small screen. Just one more step in the glorious Debbie Revolution! PS. I don't mean this to sound like a plug, but I just got one of Bob Sellstedt's custom-made Deborah Harry Dolls(the black dress version) and it is fantastic!! It's my favorite Debbie item now and any other Deb-head out there should really look into to getting one. The box alone is really something to see. I guess this has turned into a plug. You will all have to forgive me, I'm just excited about my new toy!!

I saw that Debbie's picture is featured in Rolling Stone's Woman of Rock 1997. I'm not sure which month but it's that picture of Debbie kneeling down with a microphone wearing a white outfit (Blondie era). I never thought that Rolling Stone gave that much credit to Debbie so her admission in the calendar is pretty impressive. Jeff

Folks, I whole heartedly agree." Rolling Stone" and other mainstream music magazines have never given Blondie and Debbie any kind of credit for what they accomplished. Just looking at my collection of Debbie magazine covers shows that fluff like "People" and "Cosmopolitan" gave them more coverage. These articles were mostly concerned more with Debbie's position as a sex symbol than with the music she and her co-horts were making. I will tell anyone who cares to listen that Blondie were responsible for changing the face of music in the United States as much as any band that ever existed. I think one reason they don't get any respect was because the "punk scene" was so quick to blast any band that became popular because record companies were looking for who was going to be the "Beatles of Punk" and any band that they latched onto was considered "commercial" or worse, "sell-outs". I'm so sick of hearing reasonably intelligent people say that Blondie had great potential but sold-out by doing a disco song("Heart of Glass"). This song was a natural progression in their music and fit quite nicely into "New Wave". Nobody has ever called the Talking Heads or Elvis Costello sell-outs because they progressed beyond 3-chord punk songs. I'm sorry to have gone on so long. The list will have to forgive me because the whole "re-birth of Blondie" really has me pumped up and I've been wearing my fan status on my sleeve lately. Blondie has always been my favorite band and my biggest influence musically and it's very satisfying to see others start to appreciate them too. Well, Long Live Debbie: Queen of Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!!

Considering I paid nearly $20 each from the distributor for my copies I'd say these are excellent prices. "The Best of Blondie" is a must have; but you may be slightly dissapointed in "Blondie Live". For one, it's only about 55 minutes long and secondly, it really isn't Blondie at their peak. This concert was really near the end, and they just seem to be going through the motions. Of course, it is one of the few commercially released Blondie live performances, so that alone makes it worth having. And, of course, Blondie at their lowest still beats ninety-nine percent of what you'll see on MTV in a given day.

Date: Sat, 5 Oct 1996 05:34:57 -0500

Folks, I was just going to relate my first Debbie/Blondie experience with the list in the hopes that others would come forth with their stories: I first came across Debbie in the singles bin at a local store called Newsome's. It was really a head-shop, but I was too young to know anything about that at the time. My little brother, Steven, actually had to loan me the money to buy the "Call Me" single. I always had spent my money on the "Top Ten" singles, but the black and white image of Debbie beckoning from the picture-cover of "Call Me" just spoke to me and I had to have it. Later on, I got my first stereo and the first album I got was "Eat To The Beat" and shortly thereafter, "Parralel Lines". Hell, even my birthday cake, on my 13th birthday, was a recreation of the picture cover from the "Rapture" single. Anyone else out there want to share their stories?

Subject: Re: [DHBIS] Your First Debbie/Blondie Experience?

This is gonna real give away my age here, but my first experience seeing Debbie and just going nuts was when she hosted "The Muppet Show." I remember asking my mom who the pretty lady was, and she said, "Oh, she's in Blondie. They're a punk band," and I was fascinated about finding out what "punk" was, etc. I thought she had such an incredible voice and was so funny. Around that same time, I would hear lots and lots of Blondie songs played on the little record player by fellow students at my daycare center (god, I REALLY sound like I'm about 5 years old RIGHT NOW the way I'm talking, but I swear I'm old enough to drive cars, vote, and buy alcohol! *laugh*), and that was the only place I ever heard them because from 1974 to 1984 my city didn't have a local top 40 rock or pop radio station. I really got into "Call Me" and "One Way Or Another" --- I think I heard those both at least once a day in 1980/81. For Christmas in 1981, I got the "Parallel Lines" record, but for some reason around 1982, I totally lost interest in most music and then by 1986 I was listening to crap like Rick Astley, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Wilson Phillips, Michael Bolton, and the list of annoying Adult Contemporary artists goes on and on. Not unti high school when I joined a record club and ended up ordering "The Best Of Blondie" on CD ("to get back to my childhood memories") did I re-affirm my initial reaction that Debbie Harry is GOD (I remember writing that on a little air freshener my HS boyfriend had in his car). Not only is Debbie an example of how I think a lot of people end up re-connecting and loving music that they wer exposed to at very young ages, but I find nowadays that 95% of my CDs, records, and tapes are all by artists who I first heard between 1976 and 1984, and the other 5% are by new artists who SOUND like the old ones! :) Vive La Blondie! --Blonde Ant ~`*-~`*-~`*-~`*- BLONDE ANT'S PAGE OF GOODIES The Adam Ant FAQ List The Unofficial Malcolm Gets SHRINE The Adventures of Richard, the Tortured Artist The CitC FanFic Page The Wit & Wisdom of Deborah Harry http://www.donet.com/~ktaylor ~`*-~`*-~`*-~`*-

Subject: Re: [DHBIS] Your First Debbie/Blondie Experience?

OK here goes: I was 16 and working as a dishwasher at Straw Hat Pizza in L.A. (circa 1979) when Heart of Glass came on the radio (I think it was K-Earth 101 in case anyone's familiar with LA. A top 40 station. I was young and mainstream, what can I say?). Well, of course I thought it was awesome (radical, bitchin', to use the vernacular). During the song, one of the guys from the kitchen (Jeff) came back, and I asked him if he knew the song. He got a little piqued and in a somewhat exasperated tone told me that it was Blondie and that they had put out two really cool albums but then decided to go commercial and put a disco song on their latest release. He hated it by I was in love. Next day I got Parallel Lines and played it over and over until my parents went crazy. I even bought the 8-track to play in my Torino (my dad's hand-me-down, but at 16 who cares?). Next time I went to work, Jeff had brought in Blondie and Plastic Letters for me to borrow. Three full albums of brand new (to me) Blondie recordings in less than a week! I have to admit, at the time I preferred Parallel Lines to their earlier albums, but as I'm sure you all know, in short time I was able to appreciate each Blondie/Debbie offering as unique and overwhelmingly rewarding in its own way (except maybe for KooKoo..............................JUST KIDDING GUYS - don't want to get an avalanche of hate mail from KooKoo supporters). Well, this is twice as long as I intended - see what you started! John Jaxboy2376@aol.com

Subject: [DHBIS] Wind In The Willows

Everybody's been talking about prices for the WITW CD, how bout some opinions on it? Personally, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it, for some strange reason. Debbie's backing vocals are fabulous, but even beyond that, I just thoroughly dig the style and sort of "bouncy folk" kind of thing they were going for. Maybe it's just because I got brainwashed on my dad's Peter Paul & Mary records as a young child, I dunno. Their version of "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" inspired me so much that that was the first real song I learned to play on acoustic guitar. Every few months I'll drag out the WITW album and it'll stay in my CD player for at least a week, just playing along over and over. :) Ironically enough, my least favourite song on there is probably Debbie's real vocal spotlight, "Djini Judy." The best one is "Moments Spent," and for sheer weirdness "There Is But One Truth Daddy" is just such a lava-lamp-and-recreational-pharmaceuticals song. ;) --Blonde Ant ~`*-~`*-~`*-~`*- BLONDE ANT'S PAGE OF GOODIES The Adam Ant FAQ List The Unofficial Malcolm Gets SHRINE The Adventures of Richard, the Tortured Artist The CitC FanFic Page The Wit & Wisdom of Deborah Harry http://www.donet.com/~ktaylor ~`*-~`*-~`*-~`*-

scott: your points were acute. but for cosmo and people, well, they ARENT music magazines, after all. they are dedicated to mindless dribble about who looks good, whos sleeping with who, etc. screw 'em, anyway. yea, its nice to know bands have given blondie credit. ive heard jane weidlen (shes so cute) say something about debbie and blondie being atypical of when it came to women's status in rock (at that time). blondie is my favorite group. its the first band ive ever gotten into (in pre-adolescent years), and all their music covers vast terrain-- from denis, to rip her..., to detroit 442, go through it, rapture and do the dark, etc. they are one of the most versatile bands ive ever heard. so many just sound the same! (alanis). and so many have the worst vocals anymore, man or woman (alanis/goldfinger), and i think get airplay because they are following a trend that people have yet to get used to (alanis) heres what i told my sister: oh, that alanis. she sucks. how can anyone listen to an entire cd of her squealing. i wish that courtney love would kick her ass in the womens room and bust those grammys against the wall.

Thanks for making me laugh first thing in the morning! I think even AM would have to laugh at that one! Apparently some of you had trouble viewing the new pictures on the page... I think I have rectified the situation. Go ahead and look, if you still have trouble, write me privately. By the way, do look, there are several new pictures: The cover photo is a picture of Debbie from, oh, the Rockbird or later are, wearing a tight leopard skin bustier with her face painted animalistically. The ones on the "Other Pictures" page are: >From the motion picture "Heavy". Photo by Gorman. An alternate shot from the "Remixed Remade Remodeled" photo session. From the TV series "Wiseguy". With Glenn Frey, from the TV series "Wiseguy". Promo photo from the "Rockbird" album by Brain Aris. With Meatloaf, from the motion picture "Roadie". Blondie, from Rolling Stone, 1980. A live shot (from the "Eat To The Beat" era) from Hit Parader magazine. Blondie, during the filming of the "Eat To The Beat" video album. Photo by Lynn Goldsmith. About 4 of these are over 100 K (the Rockbird one is about 320 K!) but they are good quality scans. I will try and jpg the big ones later today to save on space and download time, but if you want the highest rez pics get em today.

Hello, folks, Just got back from the summer holidays to find an inbox explosion. Never mind. Do you all know that Mike Thomas, who sort of runs the DHBIS for the UK and Europe has moved house? I went round to see him, but a woman came to the door who said that he'd moved to Chester. Anybody have his new address? I can seem to find out any reliable information about new Jazz Passengers releases. Virgin, Liverpool, say that there was a JPs release on 24th September entitled 'Plain Old Joe'. This was the title of a song they played in Camden. Andy's Records, Southport, said that 'Plain Old Joe' came out in 1995 (After JPs In Love) and there were no plans for a release in the near future. Any clews? Does Plain Old Joe feature Debbie? When did it come out? Is there a new album out soon? There keep being rumours in the British music press of the Heads "No Talking, Just Head" album coming out, but I haven't been able to find a date for that. Anybody know? Finally, does anyone know if there were any recordings of Debbie (Or Jonathan Richman, for that matter) made at the Phoenix this summer? I know some of the concerts were recorded for and played on BBC Radio 1, but they never seemed to mention Debbie. Thanks, Dave. Zz zZ |\ z _,,,---,,_ "Just pulling me trousers up."

Hi folks, About my first Blondie experience.. Reading your stories I feel really old, or did you all discover Blondie so late?? Anyway, I was about 9 when I heard Denis on the radio and bought it right away. It was a huge hit here in Holland and I loved the song and the band immediately. I soon found out at the local record shop that they had two other albums (Blondie and Plastic Letters) and I went there almost every day just to listen to the records (I had no money to buy them). The guy who owned the shop just let me sit there and listen to the albums for hours without being annoyed. That was really cool. I have to admit: I could not understand one word Debbie was singing, I just liked the sound of her voice. So, by the time I had saved enough money to buy the albums I already knew them by heart. I'm a big fan ever since. Those two first albums are still very special to me and I still listen to them quite often, remembering the good old days.... Petra

Subject: [DHBIS] Debbie Chapter in Warhol book

Hi all!! There is a new book out called "Warhol Un"something (sorry the exact title escapes me at the moment. There are several Debbie pictures in it & in fact there is a chapter entitled Debbie Harry. If anyone wants I will bring the book home from the store & transcribe the text. I didn't have time to read it at work. Anyone interested may want to check it out on their own. Ps - Annett would not be a diminutive form of Anatasia in Russian. It's probably just Anna pronounced correctly or it could be Anatsol' or some such thing but I don't think so. Anna soon I'll be with you is what I've always thought it was. A funny Deb/Russia connection happened while I was studying in Moscow in 87. I was walking down the street one day & stopped to see what someone was selling on the side of the road. It turned out to be photos of pop/rock stars. One of them was Debbie. Someone had taken a photo of the Rockbird cover & was selling b&w prints. Needless to say I bought one & hung it up in room & was much happier in Russia from that day forward!! If that's a repeat story, sorry. Also when Boris Grebenschikov from the Russian group Akvarium came to the US he met with Debbie & Chris. There was a photo of them in Rolling Stone. Peace Fiona Queens, NY

Anybody still need the July/August issue of Genre? I have one copy, great shape. (Have tried to keep my fingerprints off the Debbie cover photo!) $5 (includes postage). E-mail me privately. ----- Jeez, I don't think I have a story about coming to love Debbie/ Blondie. Like lots of people my age, I'd hear the popular stuff on the radio and crank it up. (I do remember that "Rapture" really improved the quality of my life. I was doing a 45-minute horrible commute each way. When the song was being played on Top 40, I'd spend the whole trip listening for the song and would get ecstatic when it came on! LOVED it! (Still do.) Got to work one day and called the DJ to ask if DH really sang the words "finger fucking" in the song. The DJ was a jerk on the phone -- not at all like his on-air personality -- and didn't have a clue. I felt very dis- illusioned! [And soon enough found lyrics and saw it was, of course, "finger popping."]) Loved the popular stuff enough to dig into the albums. And my appreciate continues to grow! Ciao! --Mark

with regards to details on the content/quality of "Die Young, Stay Blonde," there is good and bad news! The bad first: this show is there very abundantly bootlegged show of New Year's in Lonodon, which ive seen in several different formats. i think the manufacturors pick and choose songs to leave off to entice the sale of all the differing versions. a tape bootleg i bought in nyc had three extra tracks, but a faster speed, and left off some of the end, which appears on the DYSB cd. but thats a minor minor fault. overall, the sound quality is good, and the song selection is nice, too, with emphasis on eat to the beat(VICTOR!!!) for any interested parties, here is a rundown of the tracks: Atomic Living in the Real World Eat to the Beat/ Denis Picture This Die Young, Stay Pretty Accidents Never Happen VICTOR(!!!!) Heart of Glass Eat to the Beat Hanging on the Telephone Louie Louie I Feel Love(the same found on the domestic Union City Blue remix single and import blue vinyl) Heroes(with Robert Fripp) I Feel Good Sunday Girl Pretty Baby(a great track!)

None of these original artists (especially Debbie!) deserves to have their songs re-done by whiny, irritating Billy. I know some Pumpkins fans will want to flame me for this, but I just can't see this turning out well at all. Besides, no one will ever convince me that he is worth listening to. It's bad enough to have to endure his voice singing his own material. I probably wouldn't mind the band TOO much if they had a singer with a voice that was pleasing to the ear in some way, but he just goes right through me like nails on a blackboard. I can appreciate a good cover of a good song for what it is (be it done in a different style from the original, or whatever), but this will be worse than what Axl did to Live and Let Die! (can u say..."nasal"?)....and maybe even worse than Courtney Love trying to sing Stevie Nicks recently. Poor Stevie. THAT was REAL bad! Some singers should just stick to their own stuff or maybe something they can do some justice to. Sure, the rest of the band *might* be able to play a song well enough to make it interesting, but Billy singing Deb, Ric Ocasek, and Dale Bozzio??! C'mon... It just does not work. I guess I'm pretty over-critical (especially of vocals), being a singer/musician myself, and I just have this thing with that guy's voice. I guess I'll just have to develop an even faster trigger finger that I already use whenever I hear that voice on the radio. >;| ~Michael

Subject: [DHBIS] No Talking Just Head

Hey all! The Heads CD came out today. There's a different version of Debbie doing "No Talking Just Head." I like this new arrangement better because you can hear Debbie's vocal much better. It's a slightly different vocal take than the Virtuosity soundtrack. "Punk Lolita" is cool too. Here's what Entertainment Weekly said about the CD: ..."Debbie Harry moans the title song to good, torchy effect." EW goes on to say that all the different singers prevents the album from "cohering as more than an energetic stunt" and gives the overall disc a C+ rating. Unfortunately, they state that the best cut is "'Punk Lolita,' with Tina Weymouth warbling" and fail to mention that Debbie (and Johnette N.) share vocals with Tina on the track!

Mike Thomas has been doing the distribution and correspondence for the Debbie Harry Collector's Society (DHCS), the organization that I created, before email was available anywhere except colleges (and before anyone had conceived of the web). Mike has had to move several times lately, so it's been very difficult for people to reach him. I am in regular contact with him, but unfortunately Mike doesn't have email access (which besides for the distance, compounds the problem). I will post his new address whenever I can get a "reliable" one. I apologize to everyone in England and Europe who has been inconvenienced by this or who has written to me at my Mechanicsburg address but who has not received a timely reply. I am trying very hard to work down my backlog in my few days off between jobs. Please note my NEW email address below.

Subject: [DHBIS] Fab picture disc

Maybe I'm the last one to find this, but I just came across a great Blondie interview picture disc. Hard to hear, but so what. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, it appears to be a British interview around the time the band was breaking up. Its from Baktabak records in England. I got it through Harvard Square Record's cut-out bin catalog. If you're interested (and you should be for the great album pictures alone), you can pick up the record for only $10.00. You can call Harvard Square records at (617) 868-3385, or fax them at (617) 547-2838, or e-mail at hsrecord@user1.channel1.com, or write for the catalog at P.O. Box 381975, Cambridge, MA 02238. The label is BAK, the item number is TH5041.

heres a second take on the heads disc... all in all, a really nice and nostalgic sojourn to the past with many vocals. the new feistier "no talking..." is ferocious... the vocal is even clearer than before! "punk lolita" is really fun. still had trouble finding johnette in it at first, but her bass tambre shone through eventually. other great tracks are maria mckee's and johnette's efforts. The Live guy did a nice job too, and i dont like Live, so that was pleasing. on other things... does anyone know the name of the fox tv movie coming out next month with deb in it? id like to know to mark the tv guide for viewing pleasure. and thanks for clearing up my haziness on the locale of the new year's show on "die young stay blonde"- i appreciate it....

My question is, will you be backstage at all of the Jazz Passengers appearances you mentioned, or will you be in the audience? I'll be going to the Oct. 25 10:30 show in San Francisco, seated in the Gold section. Are you really able to meet, even briefly, people from the list who are going (mainly, in my case, to see Debbie sing!) to Jazz Passengers shows?

I enjoy sending information to the list, and, within the limits of privacy and professionalism, we try to give people an inside look to the extent we can. I consider this, and the appreciation I get for it, to be one of the rewards for all the time and effort I've invested in the past 10 years to establish my relationship with Debbie and Chris. April and I, and a few others I've lost touch with, have put forth so much effort and spent tens of thousands of dollars travelling to achieve our goals that it boggles the mind. There is a lot of history behind this, which will be appearing on a web site near you.... (soon). Speaking for myself, I don't mind private conversations to answer questions (if I can), or just to talk, as long as I'm treated with respect. I'm don't have all the details on the incident with April (who happens to be one of my very best friends), but to threaten *anyone* on the list, or anywhere else for that matter, is very much out of line. I hope everyone can appreciate that when this list was first started (before Louis took it over and added all of his fine work), it was a PRIVATE list. Individuals could not subscribe themselves and therefore we didn't have problems like that sort of email, or people quoting the entire message, or posting one word messages or unsubscribe requests to the list. Let the record show that there is no reason Louis couldn't run the list that way if he chose to. I'm also sure he's had enough of this thread, so now that I've put my two cents in, I will be dismissing it. BLK -- Barry L.

April - I am sorry to hear that you are being harrassed. However, if you & the others are concerned about being bothered with questions or threats, you might consider subscribing as an anonymous member of the DHBIS & phrase your useful information to the DHBIS in a way that would not put you at risk of harrassment. At times, even though I'm positive it is not intentional, some of you that know Debbie Harry in a personal capacity, in one way or another, come across a bit pompous therefore causing some people to take offense to it. This has not been my experience when retrieving e-mails from "management", but I have read conversations from other members that speak of disgust with some of you. Adam 1963 in particular. Once again, I appreciate the fact that you are willing to share information and I personally find it fascinating rather than pretentious when I receive information from the likes of Barry, Adam and now yourself. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [DHBIS] Re: Deborah Harry Author: dhbis@primenet.com at HALSIC_CCSMTP Date: 10/9/96 9:24 AM >Received: from x3.boston.juno.com [205.231.100.22] by mail.spec.net with smtp > id AHCGBMDM ; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 07:38:28 -0500 >Received: (from cvolcher@juno.com) by x3.boston.juno.com (queuemail) > id HAA25691; Wed, 09 Oct 1996 07:37:16 EDT >To: april@spec.net >Subject: Re: Deborah Harry >Message-ID: <19961009.043445.2718.0.cvolcher@juno.com> >References: >X-Mailer: Juno 1.15 >X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 1 >From: cvolcher@juno.com >Date: Wed, 09 Oct 1996 07:37:16 EDT > >NO April I'm NOT Kidding If you do'nt give me an address or phone number >I WILL SUE YOUR FUCKEN ASS OFF dont start shit with me, you will not be happy with the outcome.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with you on this. Nobody on the list should have to alter their posts because of the actions of a few idiots! You make it sound like the flame April received was justified, when it in fact was inexcusable behavior.

Yes, I bought it today. Good CD, Michael Hutchence is good in it too, doesn't really sound like his InXS voice... kinda like "NTJH" doesn't sound like Debbie's normal voice at first. The big difference between the "Virtuosity" "NTJH" and the album version is the album one has a different, uncencored vocal on it (Debbie says "fucking" in the chorus). The music is almost identical but the backing vocals have been mostly shaved away too, leaving Debbie rawly in the foreground. Debbie and Johnette are pretty much background singers on "Punk Lolita", I thought they'd stand out more. The other songs are good, weird subject matter at times, but very enjoyable. "Blue Blue Moon", the last song, is a standout for me.

Subject: [DHBIS] DHBIS List Rule

Hi folks, First off I apologize to April for the unwanted email. I have put the person in question on temporary (perhaps permanant?) leave-of-absence from the list, until he can provide an adequate explanation for his actions (at this point it doesn't look likely to happen though). Threatening emails will, as of now, be reason enough to be kicked from the list. Not that I have to tell the lot of you though, most DHBISers are pretty cool in that respect. :) Second, I do have the capability to make the list approved subscription only if I have to, but this severely slows down sub/unsub requests and is more of a hassle, so unless the problem persists, I'll leave it as is for now. Third, I apologize for not responding sooner, but this must have happened this morning, and I just woke up. :) Louis -------------- LAB Home Page: http://www.primenet.com/~lab ------------- ---------- To subscribe to the Deborah Harry Mailing List -------------- ------ Email majordomo@primenet.com with the body SUBSCRIBE DHBIS ------ - Deborah Harry Page: http://www.primenet.com/~lab/DHDeborahHarry.html -

Folks, I whole-hearted agree with Bill. This kind of behavior is not only impolite and inexcusable, it shows a potentialy dangerous mind-set someone can have. Just because an artist has a public persona and is generous enough to share that talent and part of themselves with us; does not mean that they somehow "belong" to their fans. I enjoy discussing Debbie and her music because her music and persona has influenced me in my own life and it's great to know that others share those influences. It's only natural to speculate among ourselves what the person responsible for creating these images and feelings is "really" like, but I never once felt that because I was a big fan of Debbie and Blondie, that every aspect of their lives was open for my investigation. They do not "owe me" that in return for my support. In fact, it is we who owe them for the moments of happiness and simple joy their unique talents have provided us. I own Debbie's image and sound on my records. The woman named Deborah Ann Harry doesn't know me and I don't know her. And for me to believe anything else is insainity. You will all have to forgive me for going on so long, inside me is the little boy who heard, on December 8th, 1980, that one of his heroes had been killed by " a fan". This sort of thing, just brings that feeling back.

Subject: [DHBIS] "Heads" int.

Hello everyone..on a lighter note for the evening.. Here on Long Island we have this dumb little local music paper called the "Island Ear", anyway, it has a big article entitled "Th Heads--three heads are better than one". On the inside contents is a little pic (B&W) of Tina, Debbie, Jerry Harrison, and Chris Frantz. It's a pretty long article..but to quote the most interesting tidbits for us all... _______________ ?-If he wanted to come back, would you let Byrne back in the band? Weymouth: I'd have to think about that one. It would be very inconvenient if we had another singer. Maybe we could ask him to come back with us as a guitarist. He wasn't our original choice of a singer. ?-Who was? Weymouth: Debbie Harry. But she said "I'm already singing with another band," so David filled that slot until we found somebody. But then we said "Hey David, you're doing a great job, just continue." ----------- ?-After it was all said and done (new heads album) did you have any second thoughts on who was on the album? Weymouth: Absolutely not. Frantz: A couple of our advisors did. But we said "man, you don't get it." In the music business, there is always this idea that you should get who's the latest kind of person. Weymouth: But that's so trendy. Frantz: Then you find out that next year this person is not at all hot. Weymouth: So it didn't make sense to us from an artistic point of view. And as a listener of the album, we wanted it to be varied. It would have been a disservice to the project if we started to put on who was hip or trendy for that moment. As we know, people come and go but they still remain artists even if you are not hearing about them. They are often doing very good and interesting work, and that is why we asked both Debbie Harry and Richard Hell, because neither of them had a number one on the charts--but that wasn't the issue. The issue was are they doing interesting work. ____________________________ Anyway, email me if you want a copy of the article. The Island Ear is free, and since I go to a music school, we have stacks of them in the hallway! A

I'd like to delurk briefly to add my voice to the rapidly forming "April, Adam Appreciation Society". Their information has been what has set this list apart from others and made it so fun to get the inside info on the career of one of my favourite singers. It really is deplorable that this should be taken for granted or abused. And to add to what Scott (?) said, I agree that it's fine to take an interest and I guess "own" a star's public life - the icon that gets sold to us. But someone's private life is their own and should be respected. I mean whenever I go and see a band I go mental whilst they're on stage, but wouldn't rush them in the street. I've never even hung around for autographs after shows (not even after one of Debbie's). It just doesn't feel right somehow (to me anyhow, but then I also wonder what I'd have to say to them, and I refuse to be some fawning fanboy going "oh you're so wonderful. I love you!"). Partly that's 'cause I like the idea of a "star" being something "other" and removed from the everyday. Meeting them can shatter that illusion... they are *drum roll* normal folks after all!! Golly! And it's their music which I ultimately want, not them (though an image goes a long way.) So to April, Adam (am I right in thinking you listen to the bingy bingy bongy children?:) and others, please stay! ta muchly.

I just got home from work (I'm usually away for the whole week). The first thing I always do is checking my e-mail. And this time I'm really dissapointed in what I found in the mail box. Are we not a club of nice people sharing a common interest, a common passion. So why can't we stay nice for each other ? I strongly appreciate what Adam, April, Louis and so many others do for us. And as far as Barry is concerned, I feel (thanks to a few personal mails) he has become an internet-"pal". So, I get angrier with every small attack on their person ! I do understand the strong feeling of wanting to meet Debbie and talk to her though. Probably that's what drives some people in uttering threats and so. I am a huge Debbie fan since 1978 and finally met her by accident in Brussels last year. I really had waited for that moment for almost twenty years. I was so overwhelmed I couldn't say one sensible word. I hate myself for that and am still longing for a good conversation with her, for being able to tell her of the importance of her music, her being for my life. But I will have to wait for that second accident and leave her and others alone. Why can't everyone ? Erwin.

i am thouroghly enjoying the heads album as i write. what an entertaining collection of thoughts in my inbox today. last year in school when i first joined the dhbis, i created a small flare with a comment concerning certain members' pompous attitudes regarding their " personal" relationships with Ms. Harry. not in a spiteful way, but sort of out of a misguided sense of jealousy, since i was 22 and in tennessee, far from NYC in location and from the original heart of fandom most probably spawned in the late 70's. we all smoothed that over and i learned a lesson. we cant all be intimate with our fantasies, and thats where our icons must stay, unless circumstances prove otherwise. and we also must NOT resent or even grow to hate anyone else who fate has smiled upon. my listening pleasure garnered from debbie's solo and group work has not diminished by the fact that i dont know her; it IS enhanced by the helpful and insightful tour dates, infobits, and personal accounts provided by louis and the gang, as every little account makes debbie all that more individual to me( and hopefully to all who read the words sent here). im glad i straightened up my views then, and i hope any other troubled members can take this attitude. we wouldnt "know" each other without this forum. and ive made some friends here(hi katie!). well, enough of that. peacefully yours... bradley "All i want is a vision of you..."
