Probably one of the best compilation albums ever.
And also a double CD by Neil Young titled : Decade. Featuring tracks like Heart Of Gold , Cinnamon Girl, Like A Hurricane, After The Gold Rush and many more. Neil Young still performing in his 70's.
I only discovered this band last week and have been obsessed ever since.
Lost in a dream I think it's called is a good album. Especially good to listen to whilst driving.
I had a short conversation with Debbie Harry at the NEC a few years back. I didn't realise it was her at the time!I have found out in the last couple of days via 6music that Blondies hanging on the telephone was cover and that I fought the law by the Clash was also a cover by Bobby Fuller whose version I assumed was the Original. Every day's a school day as they say.
Never been a "heavy metal" fan, BBR. I love all sorts of music, but just can't get me 'ead round heavy stuff. Does nothing for me, I'm afraid.I've listened to Motorhead and my son said dad you love heavy metal give it a miss.
I opened a litre bottle of Captain Morgan's "Spiced Gold" rum earlier. I'm down to the top of the label! :emoji_dizzy_face:I'm well pissed. I've drank 15 pints !

You wouldn't want to know her Clint! When I met her she looked really haggard. That's why I didn't realise who it was! I was working for Fed-Ex at the time and amongst my deliveries was a small box about 12" x 12" square, addressed to "Blondie Productions", Hall 6, NEC. I found my way to the door which had a fair few people outside. (I just thought they were waiting to have their hair done!) I actually thought "Blondie Productions" was a hair dressing thing! Anyway, I was let in through the door by a burly bloke. I went inside the hall and just looked lost! As I'm standing looking for where I needed to deliver this box, an old looking woman approached me and said (in a Yank accent), "Need some help, Honey?" I replied, "Yeah, I'm looking for "Blondie Productions". She pointed to her left and said, "Just take it through that small door on the left. One of the crew will take it from you." I thanked her and made the delivery. On my way out, I said to the big bloke by the exit, "Why are all these people gawping through every time the door opens?" ""They're hoping to catch a glimpse of Debbie Harry." I was a bit taken back, now thinking it maybe wasn't a hairdresser's conference after all! Looking at the puzzled expression on my face, he then said, "That was her who showed you where to go!"You're the 2nd person I know who's met her any neither of you thought to fix us up .
I'm a little disappointed mate!
Me and a mate went to the Aston Villa leisure centre some years back to see Deborah Harry and her band, she was no longer known as Blondie. I was expecting a gig of mainly pop music, and only went as my mate had a spare ticket. Was surprised and delighted to see her perform 2 hours of loud heavy rock music.You wouldn't want to know her Clint! When I met her she looked really haggard. That's why I didn't realise who it was!

Exit, one embarrassed Fed-Ex bloke!
And I can't take the pane any more.Just for @bringbackrattles:
After being a window cleaner for about five years now, I've decided to look for a new job.
I always feel as though I'm on the outside looking in.
