Encounter with a Stiletto: Debbie Harry in 1974
Chris Charlesworth, Rock's Backpages, February 2005
EVERY TIME Bob Gruen called me hed open the conversation with "Whats happening, man?" Of course it was me who should have been posing the question to him, for Bob always knew what was happening more than anyone else I knew in New York, but you wont catch an Englishman asking "Whats happening, man", not even in New York. Its just not in our vocabulary.
