'...to leave a legacy as strong as the one we
left the first time around.'--Jimmy Destri
on his hopes for Blondie
Blondie's legacy is the "real constant
in their music [which] was an unerring
ability to nail down a pop tune--glibly
put, they were The Ramones meets
The Ronettes"
"Garbage and practically every
band with an Orange County
zip code" has been reaping
the Blondie legacy.
"Basically, the genre-blending 'hip'
feel of contemporary rock is exactly
what Blondie captured nearly 20 years ago."
Blondie is a "group of enduring innovators."
"The Blondie legacy remains strong through the passing
of time, genres, and radio formats."
