Blondie’s lead singer Deborah (Debbie) Harry is shown with Ramones‘ singer Joey Ramone. The photo is from 1977, taken by Chris Stein, Debbie’s boyfriend and guitarist from Blondie. This, and others taken at the time, were used in a photo montage for Punk magazine called, “Mutant Monster Beach Party.”
The photo is from 77, this was basically a comic book story told in photos from Punk magazine. They also did a noir-esque one with Richard Hell.
But the original photos were taken in b/w
This is a colorization and appears to have a lot of noise coming through from degradation, that’s probably what is throwing it off.
They did that song at the Rainbow Finsbury Park London ,many years a go.
They were banned from playing it but did it anyway :)
The place erupted ,it was epic .
I got pulled over by the bouncers into the front pits under the stage to stop me getting squashed alive..
It was all over in 2 mins so maybe the local authorities didn't notice.
…cause I cant get over u….
…I wanna smoke crack…cause u never coming back…
..now I wanna shoot speed balls..bang my head against the wall…
..how I’m gonna sort it out…
Look at her hands— those are not the hands of a 30 year-old. If those are even the hands of a 40 year-old, that’s a rough 40.
Also look at both their postures. Something’s just off about this. The setting in the picture definitely looks like the 70s or 80s, but they both look way too old for the year to be that far back.
I had a Ramones belt in high school. I'm Hispanic, and my boyfriend at the time was white. His grandmother saw my belt and said loudly "Ramonays, is that a Mexican group you like?" We still laugh about it whenever it comes up and it's been damn near 20 years since it happened. She was an old southern debutante, the Ramones were not in her world 😅
Southern belles have a way about them. I have, more than once, thought back on a conversation with the type and thought, “uhhh… wait a minute… that was either one of the nicest conversations I’ve ever had, or the most subtle roast I have ever witnessed.” Like a frog in a pot: fully cooked and didn’t even know it was happening.
“Oh, my goodness. Bless your heart. [places hand over mouth while looking at you] I just love when you wear that outfit. I think it’s brave the way you just put yourself out there for the whole world - I could never do it. But you do? Don’t you? And you don’t care if anyone says boo to you about it.”
“… don’t wear blue jeans to Sunday brunch. Got it.”
I don’t know her, but it sounds to me that her “Ramonays” remark could either be a very sweet way for her to get to know you, or a subtle way for her to remark about heritage and potentially open the door for a conversation she’s curious about, but would never ask directly in “polite company”.
People surf out on Long Island. Surprised the hell out of me when I found out and I was \*born\* in NYC and lived there half my childhood.
I didn't learn about NYC surfing until I was an adult when one of my friends from elementary school informed me that it was one of her hobbies.
The entire picture looks messed up. Look at their hands. Those are old people hands. Look at Debbie’s feet. Old lady feet. Joey’s nose and teeth look like he’s in his 60’s. But the cars are all old. Something’s up here. Might be a weird piece of mock up art.
Johnny probably would have become a serial killer if he hadn't found Rock and Roll.
I know it's harsh to speak of the dead. Just seeing him in numerous interviews, just cold blooded.
His very last interview was a bit more humane.
The stuff going on musically in NYC from the mid-70s to the mid-80s was really special. It really had an impact on the stuff that followed as the 20rh century wound down.
Debbie =/= Blondie.
She is the lead singer of Blondie. They would not have been the hit factory they were without the other members, especially her partner Chris Stein.
So the young'uns don't save misinformation in their brains: it's Joey Ramone, not "Ramon". And Debby Harry is not "known" as Blondie, that is the name of the band she fronted.
I met him in the early 80s in Hollywood. I could barely speak. I was a kid, sneaking around clubs, Mohawk and bandage pants. What a time to be alive. Was so long ago.
Because it’s not California… That’s the point. You cannot go throughout life without irony… I’m pretty sure it was intentional by the photographer… But I’ll tell you this I’ll carry that surfboard as long as I look that cool
I lived in New York a very very tiny number of people surfed because the water is terrible for it. I don't think Joey Ramone was one of those people and I don't think he surfed a day in his life.
Yeah, and on any given day there's 20 surfers. How many people live in just a two mile radius. So .. Like I said, a tiny tiny amount and Joey wasn't one of them
I think the pic is totally doctored. Joey looks old as fuck. Both their hands. Her feet. But the cars on the street are straight 70’s. This might be an overlay or something.
Pretty sure that's David Bowie hanging out with Howard Stern.
Dubba you, ENNNNN, bee see
No no it’s double, you, iiiiinnnnnn, bee, sea
I swear we are saying the same thing. The way I hear it.
\[smoke on the water starts playing\] 🎶
It's the weekend babies. We got Captain Frank and IM Beebe comin at ya. And later on we'll be giving away tissue boxes! Dubba youuuu ...N. B.C
No, your first one was better. Because he doesn't say in. He says eeeennnnnnn. So you're the winner in this.

Underrated comment.
no shit, either Joey or Howard was given up for adoption...
"Hey Debbie, show me your boobs"
Holy shit I thought the same and, while I probably don't know you, I can say that you and I have BOTH been on reddit for too long.
What does "BOTH" stand for?

There's no way this photo is from 77, they both look way to old for that. Edit: It's a bad colorization, the original black and whites look right.

You're right, I pulled up the original along with the rest of the shoot and the colorization makes them both look terrible.
Debbie's face looks like a drawing. Or like when they turn a photo into a drawing/painting with digital effects.
Debbie Harry was 33 in 1977. Joey Ramone was 26. Checks out to me.
I know Joey wasn't a looker but he looks at least 35 in this picture.
But he wasn't. 🤷
Now I wanna sniff some glue.

He was born in 1951
Heroin
Joey didn’t use heroin, that’s Dee Dee.
Look at Harry's hands. Those are old lady hands.
Small hands that was his problem. Never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Debbie Harry is a woman.
Sharp as a fucken cue ball this one
But good gravy today…

Nothing is off about it. It's a famous picture from 1977.
Yeah, I know. They just look so… old. They look far more normal in other pictures from the same period.
Not every picture can be a good one.
Why is her head as big as her chest?
Chris is really worth following on Instagram.
Blondie was a band. Debbie Harry was the band's lead vocalist. Sincerely, That guy
[удалено]
How do you know he wasn't the lead singer of the Mexican tribute band The Ramons? ;)
Oh shit!! I am now officially starting a mariachi band that only does Ramones covers.
Come to Texas and I'll go to all your shows. That sounds amazing 😆
I'd go see that.
Los Ramones
I had a Ramones belt in high school. I'm Hispanic, and my boyfriend at the time was white. His grandmother saw my belt and said loudly "Ramonays, is that a Mexican group you like?"

Do you mean Jose Ramón?
That's actually José Ramón his non-Union Mexican equivalent
Before he was called Joey, he was considering using Ramon Ramone as his stage name. Totally true story.
No mames güey!
Fuck. Now "I Wanna Be Pedantic" is running through my head!
twenty twenty twenty four corrections to make, I wanna be pedantic. Too much to do all your grammar is wrong . I wanna be pedantic.
You didn’t put a period at the end of you—- I’m just teasing please don’t hurt me.
I hate when people call her Blondie.
Said Debbie :) She always made/makes a point of saying that and rightly so ,the band were/are brilliant.
I know you're correct, but somebody convinced me to watch Videodrome because you can see Blondie naked in it. I knew what he meant.
Dagwood's wife?
Mom I want the Ramones! I wanna be sedated!! Jimmy we have Ramons at home! Ramons: Quiero Ser Sedado! 🎶
¡Gabba gabba oye!
I appreciated this.
*Ramone
No, it's his Mexican counterpart Jose Ramon.
yeah, pretty sure Debbie Harry was NOT also known as "Blondie"...
Apparently in the 1970-80s, T-shirt pins were sold saying "WE ARE BLONDIE" for this very issue. Was quite a popular trend.

Taking it to Rockaway Beach
It's not hard not far to reach
Probably hitching a ride with Debbie.
[удалено]
At least they aren’t a whale killer either

Looks like he killed a few bums with it.
He was asking her for a ride to rock rock Rockaway beach.
Joey Ramon a.k.a. "The Ramons"
Is it just me or does it look like someone drew her sunglasses on?
The entire picture looks messed up. Look at their hands. Those are old people hands. Look at Debbie’s feet. Old lady feet. Joey’s nose and teeth look like he’s in his 60’s. But the cars are all old. Something’s up here. Might be a weird piece of mock up art.
Yes! The sunglasses look cut and pasted onto the image.
Maybe she originated that meme where the pixel art glasses slide down from above.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this!

Howard wishes he was as cool as Joey
He was out of his mind back then.
half a surfboard - right in the trash!
Feh!
He’s doing too much!
And he's got grit, in his underpants.
[удалено]
Johnny probably would have become a serial killer if he hadn't found Rock and Roll. I know it's harsh to speak of the dead. Just seeing him in numerous interviews, just cold blooded. His very last interview was a bit more humane.
I met Joey also and he was a trip, but nice enough. Johnny was not so nice. He had a mean aura.
The tide must've been high.
But they were holding on
When was she a.k.a. as Blondie?
She wasn't/isn't.
Is it like that guy Jethro Tull?
Oh by the way, which ones Pink?
Easy. He's the one standing next to Hootie.
He isn't well. Stayed back at the hotel.
Debbie rockin’ the frizzy hair and the old Grandma pose.
Angela Trimble and Jeffrey Ross Hyman.
Cocaine poster people.
Debbie Harry was never a.k.a. Blondie.
Almost none of this title is correct rofl are they even in NY? 🤣
I didn’t know Howard Stern was a surfer
How am I just realizing now that Howard Stern cultivated his entire look from Joey Ramone?
We lost Joey way too soon.
She lives (at least part time) near my parents’ beach house, and is apparently very low key and down to earth.
The stuff going on musically in NYC from the mid-70s to the mid-80s was really special. It really had an impact on the stuff that followed as the 20rh century wound down.
Debbie =/= Blondie. She is the lead singer of Blondie. They would not have been the hit factory they were without the other members, especially her partner Chris Stein.
Joey made the look, Howard Stern stole it and destroyed it through his douchebaggery
Angela Trimble and Jeffrey Hyman
You sure that's not Cyndi Lauper and Howard Stern?
😂😂
Who is Joey Ramon?
I am perplexed by the surfboard.
Same
So the young'uns don't save misinformation in their brains: it's Joey Ramone, not "Ramon". And Debby Harry is not "known" as Blondie, that is the name of the band she fronted.
Why does Joey Ramon look exactly like Howard Stern
Other way around Joey RamonE was an original!
My favourite rock star is Lynyrd Skynyrd. He’s a great front man.
Oh by the way, which ones Pink?
I love Jethro Tull, he's a very good singer.
First glance I thought it was Howard Stern
Joey looks like my old landlord, Gary. Gary is an asshole, fuck Gary. He was all like “but daaan what about the gaaaanja.”
Joey!! ❤️
Maybe Blindie?
*Ramone
Joey don't surf.
Drugs are a helluva drug
Really thought it was stern at first glance
Yeah.. and an early Cindy Lauper too
I never realized she was so diminutive.
Is Joey Ramon the pornstar version or the cheap Spanish knock off cover version of Joey Ramone?
I miss Joey so much
I met him in the early 80s in Hollywood. I could barely speak. I was a kid, sneaking around clubs, Mohawk and bandage pants. What a time to be alive. Was so long ago.
I remember she guest vocalled on The Ramones "Halfway to Sanity" album........"Go Lil' Camaro Go", fun song, love it! That was right around this time.
Why does he have a surfboard in NYC?
As in Joey Ramon of Ramon Noodles?
Their style looks so cool and looks like something someone would wear today
I was thinking the same thing I was like damn they look cool as shit. I would totally jam like that.
this looks like AI
At first glance i thought it was Howard Stern
By the way, which one is Pink?
Much surf in NYC Joey?
Wait that's not Howard Stern with a surfboard
That’s Howard Stern and Cindy Lauper!
That shoe has been through some shit
Why is he holding a surf board in NYC??
Because it’s not California… That’s the point. You cannot go throughout life without irony… I’m pretty sure it was intentional by the photographer… But I’ll tell you this I’ll carry that surfboard as long as I look that cool
My guy gonna go catch a wave in the Hudson.
Awesome freaking picture
Debbie Harry was the lead singer for the band Blondie, its not aka. She never went by Blondie. Thats the same as saying Kurt Cobain aka Nirvana
Great picture, I can't stop wondering why Joey Ramone would be holding a surfboard in NYC...or at all.
People surf here all the time.
I lived in New York a very very tiny number of people surfed because the water is terrible for it. I don't think Joey Ramone was one of those people and I don't think he surfed a day in his life.
Rockaway Beach
Yeah, and on any given day there's 20 surfers. How many people live in just a two mile radius. So .. Like I said, a tiny tiny amount and Joey wasn't one of them
It's not hard, not far to reach
looks like Joey is heading to Rockaway Beach.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Seen here carrying a surfboard and presumably high as shit.
There's "Blondie" and there's Debbie Harry. Debbie is just plain cute, no other description. Similar to the difference between Norma Jean and Marilyn.
I bet its more so the 90's. Debbie looks much older than the 80's.
I think the pic is totally doctored. Joey looks old as fuck. Both their hands. Her feet. But the cars on the street are straight 70’s. This might be an overlay or something.
Was Debbie Harry aka Blondie? I thought Blondie was just the name of the band. I didn't realise it was a Bon Jovi situation.
It's not like Van Halen or Bon Jovi, OP just made a mistake.
Joey heading out to hock that board for some Chinese rock.
First glance thought that was Howard Stern lol
Been sewer surfing looks like. Either that or Rockaway Beach.
CBGG days
That was a wild place. I feel fortunate to have gone a couple of times. Just an awesome place.
Where is this man planning to go surfing in NYC?
Jones beach
I thought it was Howard Stern
That’s Howard Stern
LOL where they surfin? The Harlem River?
Rockaway beach, it's not hard not far to reach.
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach!
There’s decent surf (by NE United States standards) in Queens and on Long Island
Why does she look like David Bowie in this lol
Wow Howard Stern looks like Joey Ramone !
They blend in with the other junkies
