Debbie Harry name-checked Grandmaster Flash and Fab Five Freddy, people she actually knew from New York's emerging hip-hop and downtown art circles, creating an unusual bridge between CBGB-era punk culture and the city's young hip-hop scene.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40194325414075,"sku":"","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/products\/R-160209-1441271923-1086_jpeg.jpg?v=1620336205","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/blondie-autoamerican","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
