Hey, I'm Brian Hyatt. You're listening to Rolling Stone Music now. I'm really excited to be in the studio with Chris Stein and Debbie Harry of Blondie.

Howdy?

Hello and Debbie has a really entertaining and honest new memoir out called Face It

and Chris has always got stuff going on and they're playing shows as

bandy and very much an ongoing thing and I guess I would start by Debbie you say

in the book that you're really not into digging up the past and then you do it in the book and then you've been going around talking about the book.

So how, yeah, how's that been for you?

It's eviscerating. Yeah, and I have actually thought seriously of slitting my throat or maybe

I could be clipping my tongue so that I couldn't do it. Just kidding around.

I mean, I guess, you know, it wasn't my idea to do the book,

but there I got corralled into it in a way and then it sort of got rolling you know the Ramones used to put up these flyers that said we don't want to but we will

Yes, I didn't want to but I did.

I think I wrote that in there.

I think so too.

Yeah, I wrote that in there.

I didn't want to but I did and there you have it.

Chris, what did you learn that you didn't know from reading this book?

Some of the stuff about the upbringing, you know, a little bit of the family stuff,

but you know, not sure sure just and that attitude there's some she has some

the same moments that have different recollections but I as I say memory is

subjective you know and so none of this may have happened.

Nowhere in the world, none of this is going on, it's all in your mind.
