The guitarist opens up in his new memoir, Under a Rock
As the co-founder and guitarist of the band Blondie, Chris Stein helped define the sound of American new wave music. But professional success came with serious personal trade-offs.
In his new memoir, Under a Rock, he shares unvarnished stories about what it was really like to be a rockstar in the '70s and '80s. Chris joins guest host Talia Schlanger to reflect on that time in his life, from his romance and partnership with Debbie Harry to the sober realization that there's nothing glamorous about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
