Blondie - Behind The Music
It all began when a girl discovered peroxide, moved to the big city, and became punk's first - and only - diva. VH-1's acclaimed Behind The Music series tracks Blondie's remarkable trip from The Bowery to Billboard, and sits in on the recording of 1999's No Exit album. Behind The Music: Blondie examines the band that kicked off the New York City punk scene and helped make CBGB "ground zero" for some of the most exciting music in the world. But when the success started rolling in, the tight-knit group began to unravel - and their internal frustrations led to one of rock 'n' roll's greatest vanishing acts. Blondie members recall the obscure illness that took hold of guitarist Chris Stein, and how a bizarre coincidence broke the story to the world. Through rare footage and interviews with Blondie and pals (like Joey Ramone) who were part of the downtown scene, this VH-1 Behind The Music tells the fascinating story of a band that would rise from the grit of punk rock's ashes to become a seminal force in new music.
