Were Blondie really a punk band though?  Or, like the Stranglers, were they classed as punk because the music journos of the day couldn't work out where they actually belonged?

Good point.

Put it this way, their first single was "Sex Offender" & had to be changed to "X-Offender" in order to get shops to stock it. Even then, it was banned from the radio.

They were from the same pub rock (or club rock in the US) origins as the Stranglers & other punk/new wave bands which the NME (read Tony Parsons & Julie Birchall) later tried to rubbish as "not punk" because they weren't paying thousands to their precious Socialist Workers Party (mainly to trash their rivals gigs at that - so much for "punk solidarity"!).

Was she not 14 when they were famous? Not that I'm accusing you of anything tediesque, god forbid.

She was but I'm sure McLaren was their manager so that would explain a lot!!
