Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BLONDIE STILL RULES

After all these years, Debbie Harry is not only instantly recognizable but touring in the UK with sold out concerts. During her shows she always brings up her current obsession: bees. She’s concerned about the environment and the dying bee population. Her latest album is appropriately titled “Pollinator.” She and guitarist Chris Stein are still best friends through thick and thin, but not longer romantic. They’ve been touring together as Blondie since they reunited twenty years ago. Debbie says if she decides to retire she’ll can sell the portrait that Andy Warhol did of her and never worry about money again.

    Interesting tidbit – the name Debbie means bee.

    She is from my home town. My beautiful older sister was in her class and they both were hottest girls in town. I was the juvenile little brother who they avoided? She was in a major car wreck then and survived. My sister married young and left Hawthorne as did Debbie,,,

    She looks FABULOUS.

    When they first started garnering public acclaim, some members of the band took to wearing buttons which read “Blondie is a GROUP”–owing to fact that most of the attention was focused on Debbie.

    Some forty years later and she’s still a phenomenon. 🙂
