Debbie Harry Hosts Punk Rock Pre-School
Kids today don't know crap about punk rock. Over the years the term has been co-opted, commercialized, corrupted ... and lots of other words that start with the letter "c." So who better to drop a knowledge bomb on the newest generation of snotty punkers than CBGB legend and punk/new wave icon Debbie Harry? A roomful of delinquents-in-training got to ask the former frontwoman for Blondie about new wave, pooping onstage, fashion and even her new album. Then they spit on her. But it's cool -- gobbing is totally making a comeback.

this is probably the most concise & on-point sociocultural analysis of "punk" ever conceived!

That was kinda really stupid... I mean all repescts to DH I like her (as a person), but I love punk, real punk... not pop punk or new wave... Beki from Vice Squad is a punk queen, Joan Jett was more american punk... its just my opinion though...
hey but the kids were cute, eh?

Debbie was no punk, she was pop/new wave. Patti Smith was a poet, Jackie was a punk. Judy is a runt.
Wendy O' Williams is my idea of a punk princess.

stop dressing up kids as punk rockers or anything else. let kids be kids. they can start listening to punk when they start smoking and doing drugs, after they turn 13

What a farce! Feeding lines to the kids, dressing them up punk ? Are the people behind this facade the same people who came up w /the Monkees ?
I agree that Punk is now part of the pop culture, but there in lies the irony. Ah life!

Blondie was not punk rock music, however, this skit is funny.
