Debbie Harry on 9/11 ten years after

Debbie Harry on 9/11 ten years after

Iconic blonde punk-pop singer Debbie Harry (frontman of Blondie) recently gave an interview talking mainly of one subject: 9/11's tenth anniversary. Debbie spent many loving words towards her city New York, a place she never thought to leave for a second, even after the tragedy.

Debbie remembers: "I was watching everything happen before I even turned on the news. At the time, I had an apartment on the 17th floor and I could see the whole southern tip of Manhattan. It was like watching a big TV screen. I saw the whole thing happen right in front of me. I had so many friends that lived blocks from there. I was completely freaked. Little by little, they shut everything down. So we just got on our bikes and rode around. We were looking for friends, and we just wanted to see what was going on. The streets were full of people, yet they were deserted. It was a very strange feeling. It just completely throws you off your sense of balance, physically as well as mentally. You're hopeless. You're defenseless".

Her closing words were: "I'm not worried about another attack. We're doing things outside our country. Who do we think we are? I'm a proud American though. I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world".
