Blondie and George Harrison

Blognor Regis reminds me of the brilliance that was Blondie.

More interesting was the fact that Blondie had the longest time period between number 1 records until the posthomous arrival of My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. Somewhat ironic I suppose.

I remember for Show and Tell at New Gilston Primary School, we had to bring in something musical and I brought in a Wagner LP of Tannheuser, which I thought was very inspiring. Unfortunately it was widely ridiculed by my peers. My friend John Callan brought in his older brothers 45 of My Sweet Lord, which I found very boring, but which was deemed to be very cool by everybody else.

I still think it is boring, but there you go.

Blondie were the first group in the eighties to acheive three consecutive number nes, I think.

'Sunday Girl' and 'Rapture' are my favourite Blondie Tracks

I missed out on the music of the late 80s that so many of the UK blogosphere talk about because I was in the US. I think Blondie was more popular outside the US than in it.
