Blondie Parallel Lives

One of the most iconic groups of their generation, Blondie experienced an unparalleled rise to global superstardom during the late 1970s. Drawing upon extensive new firsthand interview material from Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and many other significant players in the band's long history, Blondie: Parallel Lives is the definitive eye-witness account of the group's long and often tumultuous existence. Beginning with their childhoods and influences, the book is also an evocative homage to the unique New York scene of the 1970s. It charts the development of Blondie to their massive popular success and eventual break up and covers how Debbie Harry set her career aside to nurse Chris through a debilitating genetic disease. It recounts the group's 1997 renaissance with their No Exit album, the controversies surrounding the 2006 induction to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and the most recent release of Panic of Girls.
