Marvelously thorough account of Chris's creative development, and the string of coincidences and encounters that shaped his emergence as a musician in the days leading up to Blondie, and a fine synopsis of the band's emergence, struggles with junk and the bond between Stein and Harry. I enjoyed this review on every level.
Blonde throuh the looking glass- the underground- livin on the old NatKing Cole- dole. Creating new fashion statements with garbage can chic. My first time inNYC my friend took me to meet Barbara Troyanni who was fashion consultant for the nascent Dolls and David Johansen was there- artists bonded through poverty & art - poetry - art movements. I later ran into Sylvain Sylvain & Dolls in Amsterdam-NYC TODAY ITS ALL INSTANT COFFEE- one has to be connected have elite parents and well born - the ghetto fuggidaboudid - the underground - they’re so filthy and uncouth - it’s all about FASHION TV- who ya know. Who ya blow and talent can be manufactured like Legos instead of Logos
