I was blonde when I wrote this.
But it's only dye.
I'll have black hair again soon.

On the cutting edge of the New Wave scene from New York came along Blondie at the fag end of the punk scene.
New Wave was a very vague notion, used to describe bands on both sides of the Atlantic around at the end of the 70s, but not really fitting into either punk or contemporary scenes..
e.g Talking Heads, The Police, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello & the Attractions etc.,
and Blondie.
But Blondie were surely a pop band?
A band that moved with the scenes.
Disco, rap...

This 1st album was very raw, and not their best (see Parallel Lines) but had a lot of promise. Particularly X-Offender, and my favourite maybe ever Blondie song "Rip Her to Shreads".
Bitingly savage, Debbie Harry could be a great lyricist at times, maybe a little under-appreciated.
