Blondie: At Last, The Sound Of 1970!
Richard Cromelin, Sounds, 16 April 1977
WHAT BETTER way to introduce Blondie's bombshell Deborah Harry as she takes the stage at the Whisky in Hollywood than to use one of the band's own lyrics: "Hey pst pst here she comes now/Ah, you know her/Would you look at that hair/You know her/Check out those shoes...She looks like the Sunday comics...She's too much."
