OK so I'll let you all into a little secret - Debbie Harry was my very first childhood crush. Parallel Lines was the first album that I ever purchased with my pocket money and I still have a vivid memory of Blondie's front woman parading around a stage on Top of the Pops wearing a ripped plastic bin liner and not a lot else. Oh those were the days of my twisted, adolescent fantasies.....
