À propos de cet audio
An audiobook edition of Face It, the much-anticipated autobiography from rock icon and lead singer of Blondie Debbie Harry.
Face It is performed by Debbie Harry with vocal guest appearances from Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Alannah Currie, and Gary Valentine with original music by Chris Stein.
Filled with never-before-seen photos and art throughout, the much-anticipated autobiography from rock icon and lead singer of Blondie Debbie Harry.
Brave, beautiful, and born to be punk
Musician, actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the front woman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae, and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life - until now.
In an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals, Face It upends the standard music memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit, grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It recreates the downtown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, and David Bowie. Aesthetically dazzling, and including never-before-seen photographs, bespoke illustrations, and fan art installations, Face It brings Debbie Harry’s world and artistic sensibilities to life.
Following her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s breakup as a band to her multifaceted acting career in more than 30 films, a stunning solo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacy for the environment and LGBTQ rights, Face It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path and set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps - a memoir as dynamic as its subject.
"I was saying things in songs that female singers didn’t really say back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up yet I was very serious." (From Face It)

Histoire
In a strange world where she was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit.

Histoire
Lucinda Williams’s rise to fame was anything but easy. Raised in a working-class family in the Deep South, she moved from town to town each time her father—a poet, a textbook salesman, a professor, a lover of parties—got a new job, totaling twelve different places by the time she was eighteen. Her mother suffered from severe mental illness and was in and out of hospitals. And when Williams was about a year old, she had to have an emergency tracheotomy—an inauspicious start for a singing career. But she was also born a fighter, and she would develop a voice that has captivated millions.

Joanna Eberhart is a creative, self-possessed wife and mother, newly arrived in seemingly idyllic Stepford, Connecticut. But as she and her family begin settling in, she’s jarred by the unaccountable sameness of the local wives: all flawlessly attractive, with perfectly maintained homes—and little seeming interest in anything else. As curiosity turns to concern, Joanna finds herself unraveling a web of malice that threatens her very existence.

Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (the Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsay Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard.

Histoire
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Love this. Love Debbie Harry
Her story is really amazing and the people she hung out with were just incredible. Just about every big name in the New York art and music scene was someone she knew or hung out with. She stands on her own as a powerful musician and songwriter. By sharing some of her life's experiences she's become even more of an icon to me. I guess I didn't realize her music genre was considered "Punk" but then I never really understood the need to categorize music. To me it is either good or not so good. And Blondie is good. I love the narration and you hear the gentle remnants of her East Coast accent here and there. It is a well written memoir made better by hearing it directly from the author.

ENJOYABLE LISTENING
Loved it. I really enjoyed listening to Debbie narrate her own memoir. I am fascinated by the complexity of her life. I am unfamiliar with NYC and her memories made me feel like I was there. Her description of the loss and pain in her life triggered my own loaseslosses- I could really relate. I replayed some chapters over and over.

What can you say about Debbie Harry? PHENOMENAL!
What a blast. I came of age listening to Blondie, and saw Videodrome in a theater when it was first released, so I can't pretend not to be biased, my youth so tied to Harry's artistic performances, but I'm pretty confident even someone who somehow never heard of Harry and Blondie would find this story a wild ride. Harry, even for a celebrity often at the center of things, still had a Gumpian knack throughout her life of crossing paths with people of note, and wading through trends-to-be. She was/is a one-woman happening. If you can listen to this tale, told by DH with that remarkable voice of hers, and not find yourself thinking "Holy cow!" and desperate to hear what next, you have no curiosity whatsoever.

A deeper look into an idol
this book is filled with great stories and references to artists, that if you don't know of, should be looked into. she's quirky and has always been an idol to me. my mother was and still is a punk. influencing my music taste and "fashion". I stole her "best of Blondie" album when I was pretty young, when I got my first walkman. at the age of 12 I got more interested in the messages and image. being blonde and quiet, often treated stupid because of my silence, it was great to look up to a woman who I felt a likeness with. her prowess and just do it energy pulled me in. this book was a reawakening of the little 6 year old me finding home in Debbie's music. Blondie was one of my nicknames and some part of me feels we share a similar soul piece, that's not just on hair colour.. but looking for a place to be and creating through life to release and shush the abandonment issues. there are a lot of pieces in this book that ring deeply with me. if you idolized this woman, it's great to get this deeper insight into the mind and actions of Debbie. Thank you.

Certainly not a fluff piece
First of all, just to clear it up for anyone guessing. More than 95% of the book is read by Debbie Harry. It was great to hear her talk about herself, her image, and her point of view. She says she is still a punk and said it is something that has always resonated with her. I find that hard not to like, coming from her. She kept it pretty real and raw here. Lots of background stories about the music and other musicians. She also is very honest about how she sees the world and what her experiences have been. Some might be put off, others might relate and/or be entertained. Life is messy, but it’s kinda fun too. Really enjoyed the book.
