You know I love Blondie. And I even hold a place in my heart for Pat Benatar, although I couldn't admit it back in the day (does it get any better than "Heartbreaker" or "We Live for Love"?). Still, despite an appearance on a "Back-to-Back Hits" CD, and the fact that both Debbie and Pat appeared in 1980's "Union City," I still don't think their music "goes" together. Nonetheless, it seems they're embarking on a major U.S. summer tour, with the Donnas(!) supporting them. Despite the apparent mismatch (the press materials quote them both as saying they're great friends), the show will probably be really fun. But as my friend Bruce puts it, "the art work for this tour is some bizarre playing card styled poster with a female face that's half Debbie and half Pat and all hideous" and is nearly enough to make me wanna stay away from the project entirely.

I always thought that Back-To-Back Hits CD was cheesy. Interesting to see Blondie & Pat in the same show. I was a big Pat fan until maybe the True Love CD. She basically released an album every year due to her record contract, thus her quality suffered.
