"I was a benefactor of the energy, creativity and talents of Tina Turner. A woman who started in rural Nutbush, TN cotton fields and worked her way to the very top. Tina was a great inspiration to me when I was starting out and remains so to this day. Love you Tina. RIP.” —DH
I am so glad people told Jensen about how popular his cover of Rapture by Blondie is. Also look at his smile when he got to know that someone from Blondie commented on it 🥹
"Awww, that's cool" 🥹🫶🏽
Released 45 years ago today! “Denis” – or as it was originally known “Denise” – was a Top 10 hit a decade earlier for Randy and the Rainbows. Debbie changed the gender singing to a boy, added a verse in French and the song became a huge hit all across Europe.
This is the day that we love to love. When we’re officially IN LOVE WITH LOVE. After all we’ve been through this year, we deserve more than one day for this great human sensibility, so make it special! Be IN LOVE WITH LOVE today... and hope for a hangover tomorrow. Debbie xxxx

Dear fans and friends, I had an awakening at the end of Blondie's recent tour which came from all of you on my birthday. All the birthday wishes and generous presents are such a sweet reminder of the loyalty of our Blondie fans so thank you for that.
𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝟒𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬! 🥂 "𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞" was a song by The Nerves, a band from LA that Jeffrey Lee Pierce had sent us a cassette of. We made a version like a Shangri-Las song with a sound effect, a British telephone ringtone. – Debbie
"I certainly wasn’t the first female singer to have an attitude and do my own thing. But there was definitely a shift around the time of punk and I was part of that shift." - Debbie Harry

The words I came up with expressed a very high-school kind of thing, of falling in & out of love & getting your feelings hurt. But instead of dwelling on the pain, the words sort of shrugged off the breakup, like, “Oh, well, that’s the way it goes." - Debbie on "Heart of Glass"
