Heard a live cover of "Cecilia" last week. The national touring show of that Simon and Garfunkel Broadway bio-musocal revue came through New Orleans, and Mary Ellen wanted to catch it. Of course, they had found two guys who sound very much like S&G voicewise to perform the songs.

It's kind of a shame Blondie didn't stay together & experiment more. Take maybe Debbie & Clem & add them to the rest of TheCars ...I dunno...
