Blondie
June, 1975. A complete unknown steps up to the microphone in a
tiny New York demo studio. She sings: "I wanna be a platinum
blonde/just like all those sexy stars/Marilyn and Jean....Yeah,
they really had fun/In a luminescent day glo shade/I'll walk
into a bar and I'll have it made...." Her name was Deborah Harry, vocalist with a long-short quartet name of Blondie.
She sang the American Dream in one of its oldest and purest
forms. She sang for the millions of shop-girls and cheerleaders,
cocktail waitresses and kindergarten teachers, for the countless
number of females who'd responded to this particular stereotype
for over a half a century; for all those girls who'd gazed at a
cinema screen, a poster or magazine and thought: "That could be
me up there. If only..." And most of all she sang it for
herself.
No chance. She was almost thirty. But she looked eighteen.
Six years later, when the world knew her face and name, when
she's reached probably more people than all of those other
blondes put together, Deborah Harry would still look eighteen;
at a pinch, twenty or twenty-one. And now thousands of girls
dreamed of being Debbie Harry.
