RE: (TV) In search of the great American band

I actually think Blondie were pretty good if you consider them to be nothing
more than a pop group. I agree with Murray that Union City Blue is a great
pop song. 
They never took themselves seriously did they? I think the problem is that
someone has compared them to Television. They came from the same scene and
epoch, but it's like comparing the Clash to the Rezillos (who were also a
great pop group).

er... I can't stand her weedy, whining voice and the facile twaddle that 
they churned out.
