Detroit 442


Maybe, baby, I could drive with you?

I love Deborah Harry. She's been my idol since Parallel Lines — a piece of recorded music, I'm proud to say, I own in all the following formats: vinyl, cassette, 8-track, guitar chord book, CD, and pirated BBC special (also on CD).

I still have my Blondie is a Group! button from 1979.

My karaoke buddies know, it's no coincidence that at Kickass Karaoke at the Rivoli I kick ass best with "One Way or Another" and "Dreamin'."

I thought of Debbie Harry today because I just found out Postmodern Sass will be flying to Detroit for the weekend. Yes, this weekend coming up.

It seems three of my students have been selected as finalists in a national advertising competition, and ABC is filming a reality show about it. Good thing I just had my hair done.

There's no Redwings game this weekend, sadly, but I hope I'll have the opportunity to nip across the river to Windsor for some Canadian pints. My PhD buddies are over there. And I'd just about kill for a jar of Kraft Peanutbutter right about now.

Next, Postmodern Sass prepares her students for the trip to Detroit. Or at least tries to.

That's funny, because you've always kind of reminded me of Deborah Harry. Only with better boots.

Tracy Lynn, that's just about the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me!

Of recent, they have apparently cast Kirsten Dunst to play her in the Biopic about Blondie.

Good choice I say.
