There are certain staging posts that the big names have to tick off if they are going to truly believe that they’ve made it. Back in January 1981, one such reference point was appearing on The Muppet Show, thereby capturing the Sunday night TV audience.
When Debbie Harry got the chance to share the screen with Kermit and Miss Piggy, TV Times took the opportunity to put Blondie’s lead singer on the cover and talk to her and the band’s lead guitarist Chris Stein in a great feature interview.
“I think a fantasy life is very important and if, as Blondie, I can be that for people, I think it’s great,” said Debbie. “As a teenager, I used to think Marilyn Monroe was my real mother. That’s a fantasy a lot of adopted girls share. Not knowing where I came from is a great stimulant to the imagination and it has always mean I don’t take anything for granted.”
