Breakout Backstories

I was once asked by a caller of my radio show why I played so much Led Zeppelin. When I told her it was a part of the rock / classic rock genre, she expressed how she couldn't get behind it because she didn't partake in the "weed".

Debbie Harry and Chris Stein met while still trying to figure out who they were in the musical world. Once joined by a few other talented artists, they went on to create "Blondie".
