You young ones here probably never heard of Blondie, but she sent this in an email to me today along with a image of her and Joan Jett together. This song and video shows how fucking lucky we are to have been raised in this country.

Pardon, which country are you talking about?
Is that a rhetorical question? Any country that the children haven't or aren't going through what is on the video.
It kind of makes you wonder just how much longer we can go without the next war coming to our streets. The way we're armed I have to think it won't be much longer, probably not in my lifetime, but very likely in my kids lives and almost certainly in my grandkids lives.
I got to see Blonde along with Pat Benatar and The Donnas at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi a few years back. The Beau Rivage is a fairly small venue, and the crowd was more mature so we were able to get within a couple of feet of the stage without having to fight our way in. I was pleasantly surprised how good Debbie looked even though she would have been 64 at the time. Please tell her hello from a long time fan for me.

That's a very wide "this country".

Will do, but I need your first name, or is PopeyesPappy OK? If you have an email you don't keep secret, I'll have her write to you.
Thanks! That would be awesome. It's Russ. I'm popeyespappy@gmail.com.
I was probably listening to Blondie in high school in the late 70's. I know I was listening to them on MTV as early as 82 shortly after the El Paso cable provider picked up MTV.
This may take awhile, or not. Let me know if she responds to you by email.
