There's a video on Facebook at the moment featuring the Iconic 'Blondie', performing 'Atomic Kitten' at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1980. I wasn't at the live performance, sadly, but the song still affects me physically. This was Blondie at her incredible best. As if daring people to think otherwise at the time,she is wearing a long T-shirt/short T-shirt dress printed with the word 'BAD', designed by Andy Warhol. Fantastic. And to think she can still have an effect on the Facebook generation.
Marilyn Monroe is famously associated with the saying 'Gentlemen prefer blondes'; and maybe the jury is still out on that. But Blondie is the only person who ever convinced me that blonde could be, not only beautiful, but dynamic, serious, artistic and 'earthy', rather than ethereal and delicate. Legend.
