Too much consternation on Net54, lately....here's Blondie (Studio 54) to entertain us

One of my favorite Singers in the late 1970's to early 1980's was Debbie Harry. Every time I hear her songs, I have flash-backs to my early BB card
collecting days (when I returned to the hobby).

Perhaps, all this "nasty" rhetoric on Net54 regarding card trimming, TPG's, bad grading practices, etc., etc. can be dispensed with and we can return
to more meaningful conversations related to BB card collecting on Net54.

Thanks guys,

Ted...I too love Blondie...too much consternation? Maybe?

But a return to the status quo and ceasing to discuss these issues will not be/IS not good for the hobby.

Name the song. "I said don't stop, do punk rock."

Yep. My favorite of her songs by far.

Debbie Harry was super hawt, and I'll listen to Blondie any day, every day, but I can't think of a more "meaningful conversation" at this moment than the massive fraud that's been going on for decades now.

Hi Dan

…."but I can't think of a more "meaningful conversation" at this moment than the massive fraud that's been going on for decades now."

…..this moment !..... ? ?

It's been going on for decades, and many in this hobby have known this.

However, for a good number of us in this hobby, who don't live (or die) by the graded-card-syndrome, this crisis is NOT traumatic. We just keep-on collecting....all our favorite BB
players from our favorite sets.

Just saw her open for Elvis Costello at a Winery Concert...

Still sounded good, but never played "One Way or Another". Maybe they're just sick of performing that song, but it would have made for a pretty good encore.

She was my crush back then..and still is!

I met Blondie back in the day in my old stomping grounds in Jersey City.
Her lead guitar player Frank Infante lived around the corner from me and invited her to come and have drinks in our local bar . She arrived in a Limo and only stayed a few minutes. She looked even better in person.

Any Grand Theft Auto fans out there? Hell, it was a long time ago and it was probably, maybe, GTA 3(?), but her song "Rush Rush" just got stuck in your head as you were driving around causing havoc. It was seemingly always emanating from the car speakers.

"Rush rush, got the yeyo?
Buzz buzz, gimme yeyo
Rush rush, got the yeyo?
Yo yo, no no yeyo"

Thanks for the article. Now what are your thoughts on the Talking Heads?

[tedzan]

Hey guys

My teenage daughters....Debbie and Zoe....at the time got me "hooked" on Debbie Harry.
"The Tide is High" was always my favorite Blondie's song.




Now this is what I'm referring to as "more meaningful conversations". Where we aren't "busting each other's chops" over the ongoing TPG fiasco.

Who was hotter? Debbie or Dale?

Debbie and Stevie both rock, but do they have a baseball card like Joan Jett? She's an all-time favorite, and an Orioles diehard.

killer stuff.........

I have had the pleasure of meeting Debbie Harry a few times while she was in Blondie and when she was performing with the Jazz Passengers. My favorite songs by the band are their cover of the Randy and the Rainbows song 'Denise' and the comeback hit 'Maria'.

My favorite Blondie song is "Heart of Glass", but it gets very little love these days, and I don't know why.
