COMMENTS
March 1, 2004 - interview with Tim Blanks
Deborah Harry: (...) For me, the title refers to an idea in that Martin Scorsese movie, 'The King of Comedy' [1983]. Robert De Niro's character, Rupert Pupkin, felt that if you took all the bad things that happened to you and turned them into something funny or ironic, then that's life, really. [laughs]
question: What does the album's title, 'The Curse of Blondie', mean for you?
Chris Stein: Everyone in the band has their own variant. As Clem always says, quoting Jean-Paul Sartre: "Hell is other people." [both laugh] But we keep stressing that part of the curse is we finally have achieved some kind of success in the record business, which is going through a drastic transformation now. I think this era of charts and rigidity is going to be over because of the internet. And part of our appeal is that our approach to making music is naturalistic. We do stuff on our own terms. |
