Blondie

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.

THE TIDE IS HIGH FOR DEBBIE HARRY AND CHRIS STEIN

Who could be a better choice to lead the annual Mermaid Parade at Coney Island than Debbie Harry and Chris Stein from Blondie? The event was created by local artists to celebrate the official start of the summer season on the beach. Participants are urged to dress in hand-made costumes appropriate to the theme – the result is a lot of scantily clad women and wanna-be women with colorful beachy accessories. Debbie looks totally into the spirit of the parade – Chris, not so much
