\"Blondie<\/a>My Blondie 45’s weren’t needed long. I snapped\u00a0The Best Of Blondie out of the Columbia House catalog.\u00a0 I had Heart Of Glass\u00a0<\/em>and The Tide Is\u00a0High<\/em> and a whole bunch more that would become beloved Blondie favorites.<\/p>\n

Here again is a mystery. I really liked Blondie, why did I not have the urge to collect their previous albums. There doesn’t seem to be any driving logic on this. I must have forgotten some details. I can’t think why I’d be so hot to pick up anything Pat Benatar but yet be satisfied with this one Blondie album. As for longevity, over the past 30 years I would say that \u00a0I listen to Blondie more frequently than Pat Benatar.\u00a0 Is that due to the nature of The Best Of<\/em>? Now I have to pick up a couple of the early Blondie albums to check them out. I’ll let you know what happens. I would go on to purchase a couple later works. Wait until you hear Rapture Riders!<\/em> We have to wait until the 21st century for that.\u00a0 Over 20 years.\u00a0 One of the things that keeps happening while I do this is my constant amazement with time and how it seems to slow down and speed up so much. I mean Vermont Academy for example. In some ways it feels like I was just there but it was 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

Blondie will enter the picture a couple more times in My Musical Evolution <\/em>but for now, let’s just focus on Blondie during the Academy Days.<\/p>\n
