Debbie Harry says her rise to fame was 'like sex, but heroin was the best'

Debbie Harry says her riotous, raunchy rise to stardom was ‘like sex — but nothing was better than heroin’IN 1974 Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein, her lover, left their previous band The Stilettoes and formed Blondie – the name inspired by the truck drivers who would catcall, “Hey, Blondie!” at platinum-haired Debbie as she walked by.

CBGB’s, at 315 Bowery, has become a legend, but in those days it was a dive bar on the ground floor of one of the many flophouses that lined the avenue. It may sound strange when you are talking about drugs but it was a more innocent time. They weren’t doing scientific studies and setting up methadone clinics.

We were high on the energy of those few weeks in LA, everyone was walking in the footsteps of rock history — and we had a reputation to build! Next up was Blondie’s first real tour. With Iggy Pop and

I still like and still play music by Blondie. If you like Blondie go and see the Blondie Tribute Band.

Wtf you reporting on this shit for ! Trying to glorify heroin isn’t big or fucking clever .. Heroin destroys lives families and anyone in its path .. 🤬😡🤬
