Bompin' With Blondie
Click to Embiggen
In 1976, X-8 and I went to a party at Bomp Records in Hollywood to meet the members of Blondie. Not too many local artists were there, surprisingly, except for Danny Wilde of the Quick who was busy passing out drunk with his head in a record bin. However, Deborah Harry her bad self was present, and me being 17, filled with raging hormones, and terribly shy, couldn't think of a single thing to say, so I just stood there and stared at her for about a minute. She looked me up and down, grunted, "Nice shirt", then walked away. Ah, youth.
What I remember the most about her was that she was incredibly short. I'm only 5'2", and she barely came up to my nose. Funny, her official bio lists her as 5'2" as well. Guess she was wearing some really high heels when they measured her.
