Video for Blondie's new single 'Mother'
Is it just me, or is Debbie Harry starting to look like Dolly Parton? (Same cosmetic surgeon, I'm sure - Ed)
Regardless, this song demonstrates why bands semi-reunited shouldn't record new material, at least not under the same name. Blondie very quickly developed into a pop band - which, as long as it's original, I don't have a problem with - but post Autoamerican they had nothing original left to give.
Reform to play the hits, but move on creatively. In the words of another 20th century female icon, photographer Madame Yevonde: "Be original or die".
