Blondie - Picture This

I've been a Blondie fan for as long as I've been old enough to care about music. In fact, I think "Heart of Glass" was the first single I ever bought (though it might have been "My Sharona"). I never stopped loving them even when "Rapture" came out and I had nightmares about that video for days. Even now I'm still too scared to look it up on YouTube.

I met Jimmy Destri once, in the mid 1990s, and it was just about the only time in my life I've ever been truly starstruck. Fortunately he couldn't have been nicer. He wrote this song, incidentally, which is still my favourite of theirs after all these years.
