A couple of years later, I can remember staying up until midnight for the Dick Clark's rock and roll new years special. That was my first midnight, my first new years really. They had this band on that night: Blondie. Their lead singer was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. The played heart of glass. Totally rocked my world. I bought one of their albums at K-mart a week later. I think I was in fourth grade.

Last night I watched the rock and roll hall of fame inductions, and of course Blondie was inducted. Now, Debbie Harry is certainly older, and shows the effects of living a rock and roll lifestyle, but damn she can still sing, and damn can she still move. Sitting there, I remembered that new years eve in 1980. I got to see her live with the Ramones in I think it was 89. That is still one of my favorite shows ever. Tough and sexy. Damn I think I married Blondie...
