"I was saying things in songs that female singers didn't really say back then. I wasn't submissive or begging him to come back; I was kicking his ass." BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK, DEBBIE HARRY is a musician, actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool. As the front-woman of Blondie, she and the band created a groundbreaking sound that fused rock, punk, disco, reggae, and hip-hop, producing some of the most cherished pop songs. A muse to bold artists over the past four decades, Debbie Harry's cultural impact is profound, yet she has been reticent about her inner life—until now. In a compelling mix of visceral storytelling and stunning visuals, including never-before-seen photographs and fan art, this memoir redefines the music memoir genre. It captures the gritty essence of 1970s New York City, where Blondie shared the stage with legends like the Ramones and David Bowie. The narrative follows her journey through commercial success, heroin addiction, personal loss, bankruptcy, and the band's breakup, alongside her diverse acting career and advocacy for environmental and LGBTQ rights. This cinematic memoir tells the story of a woman who forged her own path and influenced a generation of artists.
