In this rags-to-riches story, the co-founder, songwriter and guitarist of the iconic band Blondie, who reveals himself to be a screw-up and a former heroin addict, takes readers back to the golden age of the East Village in all its creative ferment and the codependent love story between him and Debbie Harry. Illustrations. - Baker & Taylor
"Foreword by Debbie Harry "A Downtown Memory" by Romy Ashby Debbie Harry defined iconic band Blondie's look. Chris Stein-her performing partner, lover, and lifelong friend-was its architect and defined its sound. "Parallel Lines", their third album, catapulted to #1, sold 20 million copies, and launched singles like "Heart of Glass", "Rapture," and "One Way or Another", providing the beat when Bianca Jagger and Halston danced at Studio 54 and the soundtrack to every 1970's punk-soundtracked romance. Chris Stein knows how to tell a story. Under A Rock is his nothing-spared autobiography. It's about the founding of the band, ascending to the heights of pop success, and the hazards of fortune. Famous names march through these pages-Warhol, Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more-but you can get famous names anywhere. What you can't get anywhere else is a plunge into the moments that made a giant 1980's artistic sensation. Stein takes us there in this revelatory, propulsive, distinctive memoir"-- - McMillan Palgrave
