I mean, bottom line, they're both pretty much the same: blondie-blondie skanks using their bodies to sell records.  Same difference, right?





Except that... there was just something about Moe-dumba that always irritated the hell out of me, from day one.  I'll freely admit, many, many kittens died to Debbie; she was always my first skank love.

Perhaps it's the fact that Debbie actually had some talent; I would listen to her songs, even w/o the smokin' hot visuals.  Whereas Moe-dumba, just like The Britster, she really was  just a poptart, and much better with the sound down.

And, Debbie could actually belt out a tune; Moe-dumba always sounded weak, like she'd be lost w/o a studio to make her sound good.

And perhaps it was the fact that Debbie really was a bona fide, hot, horny skank!  Whilst Moe-dumba only played @ it to get attention, and sell records.

What sayeth you, O hivemind?  Anyone here love Moe-dumba over Debbie?  Change my mind!

Consequences of a Spotify music economy,

People more showmen than musicians. Carefully cultivated public image with some hook rifs written by other people.

It's milli vanilli type thing. I can't listen to any of it.

Two different styles.  You like one style, you don't like the other style.  I don't like Metallica.  It doesn't mean that Metallica is bad, just that I don't like it.  No big deal.

Never got to see Blondie in concert, but I loved the hell out of all their stuff.  Saw Madonna in 1986 and she definitely had talent.  She did a wardrobe change between almost every song and sounded fantastic.  No lipsincing.  One of the best concerts I've been to.  Too bad she went batshit crazy.

My opinion (worth what you paid for it)-

Debbie Harry’s and Madonna’s products are somewhat similar. The big difference is that Debby Harry’s product was a natural extension of 70s culture (this, by itself, could be a dissertation). Blondie (and Harry’s subsequent solo stuff) were more about music that was reflective of culture. It featured remarkable musicians. Madonna, on the other hand, has an entirely manufactured product that was more about culture and less about music.  It wasn’t organic, it was all created by design.  Ciccone started with an art project in mind, and built that project brick by brick. The creativity of this project is undeniable, but it’s less about the music and more about performance art.  For this reason, Madonna has much more in common with Gaga than with Debbie Harry.  This makes Gaga’s performance art entirely derivative, but that’s another  topic.

Debbie Harry’s “Noo Yawk” accent always turned me on. I think puberty hit right as Blondie came on the scene and I was smitten…



Of course I was a fan of Ramones, Television, the Voidoids etc…

It was hard to not be a shallow stooge with this out there at the time, lol.

Madonna understood that to stay popular she had to constantly reinvent herself.  Problem is, she got old and no one took her seriously anymore.

Derivitive = their influences are easily heard, which means they're less original. True artists eventually dispense with blatantly immitating their influences and come into their own. Being derivative isn't bad per se, but it will never occupy the rarified air of the Halls of Valhalla in popular music.

Incidentally, this song has always reminded me of Christmas.  I heard it for the first time when I was walking through the Student Union building at Weber State after finals in December 1980.

OOF! You catch the utter beat down (40-0) that my Bobcats handed Weber State this evening? I had been a little nervous about that one coming into it. Guess my worry was for naught.

ETA: I do root for your Wildcats whenever you play the umbrella grizzlies. They got their asses handed to them down at Flagstaff today. I was luvin' that!.

LOL no.  I haven't followed Weber State football much lately.

I'm not surprised though; BYU stole their coach so there was going to be a drop off this season.

I think that despite the blowout, Weber does have a decent team this year. But the Big Sky Conference has gotten so competitive these days.

4 or my 5 kids live near Provo, but aren't huge BYU fans.

The last time I went to a game at Weber was like 2015.  Took my youngest daughter because she wanted to see a football game.

The last BYU game I went to was in 2012. Free tickets.
