The drummer Clem Burke was a big part of Blondie's success, very evident in the song Dreaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FugtBP82OL0

Another underrated Blondie song here but not even my favorite one - I might post that here later tonight after I've had my beef center cut shank stew.

Clem Burke is the closest thing to Keith Moon I’ve seen as far as drummers go. He would have made a great replacement for The Who.

> I do miss that Hippy Chick look. <

Me too. And Judy Collins particularly pains me. In her early days she had that look. Judy is still performing, and her voice is still great. But now she’s all dolled up like the madame of a French whorehouse.

Who the heck is giving her costuming advice?

I saw her (them) play at CBGB. I must have been 19 or so. They were a regular act at Max’s too.

Everything old is new again, except the music.

And, Deborah Harry. She didn't die young and stay pretty.

Blondie jumped the shark with this song

How so? They had far more hit singles after Heart of Glass than before it.

Yeah, I’m just noting perceptions from that time. Which I was around for. But when it comes to the idea of “purity of their art” most people who talk like that are posers.

A lot of 80’s music was just plain fun.

I’m not saying they did. I’m saying some rock critics said that back in the day.

Noticed that too. Once I had love, it was a gas, soon turned out, was a pain in the ass. .. her lips said ass,.. money for nothing was also changed, they got rid of the word “ faggot”. And mark k even apologized for the song. Sheese. Everything pc is bullsh*t.

I think there’s two cuts of that. One an album edit and one a “radio edit”. I’ve heard it both ways.

“I hung up on some Jewish guy…”

That’s what I heard Debbie singing when I first heard the song. Thought it to be rude.

This!

Also was an extended ‘disco’ version that also had the Pain in the Ass lyric.

Yep. Clem’s high-speed drumming is unbelievable in that song. Overall, a very strong rock drummer.

I’ve long considered this song to be the beginning of the musical Renaissance that was 80s music. Yes, I know it came out in 1979, but this was when music began to change from the dreadful garbage that was the 70s, which I refer to as the Dark Ages of music. I consider the 90s to be the Golden Age of music.
