I'm a huge fan of Sunday Morning (and I was a friend of Chris Stein's mother!), but it isn't the only inspired song on the subject: Spanky and Our Gang's "Sunday Mornin'" is cool, but here is a video that is undecidedly uncool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2eobNTqhxoDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743825684303825072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-24665845505208139262009-02-28T00:16:00.000-05:002009-02-28T00:16:00.000-05:00megisi said...

It was Debbie, Chris Stein, Fred Smith (later of Television) and I'm not sure who the drummer was -- might have been Billy Ficca. They were called Snake, but they were basically exactly what Blondie became.<BR/><BR/>We saw their soundcheck and wanted to either kill ourselves or just go home without playing because they were so obviously great.<BR/><BR/>Very nice folks, though -- said undeserved complimentary things about us, and I talked equipment with Chris Stein, who was a mensch.
