Acerca de esta escucha

“Chris Stein has an amazing memory, an engaging, offbeat storytelling style, and a gift for memorable formulations… a fascinating yet cautionary account regarding the hazards of rock ’n’ roll and celebrity.”—Kirkus

This program includes a foreword written and read by Debbie Harry. The main text is read by Dennis Boutsikaris, known for his roles in Better Call Saul, The Good Wife, and Sugar. It also includes "Heartbreak Kid," a song from the upcoming Blondie album.

"A Downtown Memory" is written and read by Romy Ashby.

Debbie Harry defined iconic band Blondie’s look. Chris Stein—her performing partner, lover, and lifelong friend—was its architect and defined its sound. “Parallel Lines”, their third album, catapulted to #1, sold 20 million copies, and launched singles like “Heart of Glass”, "Hangin' On the Telephone," and “One Way or Another”, providing the beat when Bianca Jagger and Halston danced at Studio 54 and the soundtrack to every 1970’s punk-soundtracked romance.

Chris Stein knows how to tell a story. Under A Rock is his nothing-spared autobiography. It's about the founding of the band, ascending to the heights of pop success, and the hazards of fortune.

Famous names march through this book—Warhol, Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more–but you can get famous names anywhere. What you can’t get anywhere else is a plunge into the moments that made a giant 1980's artistic sensation. Stein takes us there in this revelatory, propulsive, distinctive memoir.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[An] atmospheric narrative."—Publishers Weekly

"With a stream-of-consciousness writing style and a talent for storytelling, the author recounts with intriguing specificity the trajectory his life has taken...fascinating."—Kirkus starred review

"[E]ngaging...Written in an off-the-cuff style, this memoir offers a descriptive, highly impressionistic account of the author’s role in Blondie and his life in New York City. Will engage general readers."—Library Journal

Gaviritr Book About New York

Chris is a great storyteller and has an incredibly compelling story to tell. I wasn’t a huge Blondie fan but love his photos of NYC, like Blondie, and am fascinated by New York of the 60s to present day. I loved it.

Boring succession of snippets

As a longtime fan I was disappointed by the banal anecdotes and pretentious writing. Reminded me of a bad boyfriend who thinks he’s a genius.

Great Companion to Debbie Harry’s Biography

I had just finished reading Debbie Harry’s great biography when this came out. To truly understand Blondie I would recommend reading both books. They cover a tiny bit of the same ground, but from different points of view. The affection between these two musicians is obvious and endearing. The insights into the 70’s New York punk scene, the music bustiness, and fame are at times fascinating, funny, and occasionally sad. In the end you will love both artists, the band, and the music they created.

The arc of wild minds and sound.

I loved All of it. The downtown NYC scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s, which I experienced myself and look back with great fondness. Chris and Debbie’s enduring friendship and all the stories starting with Chris’ childhood. My heart cracks for Chris and his lovely family in their unimaginable loss.

Met a lot of people

I might have mentioned the other members of the band, seemed a long list of acquaintances.

More about drugs and apartments than the band Blondie

This is not a telling of the band stories of the songs, band members and the formation of the band that made him famous. Not very much on his relationship and meeting Debbie. Oh well.
