Description
About the Book
"Debbie Harry defined iconic band Blondie's look. Chris Stein -- her performing partner, lover, and lifelong friend -- was its architect and defined its sound. 'Parallel Lines', their third album, catapulted to #1, sold 20 million copies, and launched singles like 'Heart of Glass', 'Rapture,' and 'One Way or Another', providing the beat when Bianca Jagger and Halston danced at Studio 54 and the soundtrack to every 1970's punk-soundtracked romance. Chris Stein knows how to tell a story. Under A Rock is his nothing-spared autobiography. It's about the founding of the band, ascending to the heights of pop success, and the hazards of fortune. Famous names march through these pages -- Warhol, Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more -- but you can get famous names anywhere. What you can't get anywhere else is a plunge into the moments that made a giant 1980's artistic sensation."Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
"[An] atmospheric narrative." - Publishers Weekly
"With a stream-of-consciousness writing style and a talent for storytelling, the author recounts with intriguing specificity the trajectory his life has taken...fascinating." - Kirkus starred review "[E]ngaging...Written in an off-the-cuff style, this memoir offers a descriptive, highly impressionistic account of the author's role in Blondie and his life in New York City. Will engage general readers." - Library Journal "It's that rare thing: a music autobiography that leaves you wanting more, not less." - The GuardianAbout the Author
