Sounds good Ando
Most of what I've heard has been fairly negative so glad to find someone who rates her memoir
I wasn't going to read it, but now I probably will

Got this from the library and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a recommended read.

The almost casual, stoic way she mentions it got a fair bit of flak from some quarters. People (and pop stars) were a lot tougher back in the 70's.

This was being sold for a fiver in town before the lockdown and I stupidly didn't buy it.
What's not to like about Debbie?

Isn't Clem Burke supposed to be one of rocks greatest drummers OP?
What was wrong with them?
Mind you, aside from a couple of songs I've always thought Squeeze were utter pish.

I'm surprised they were terrible live but then again lots of bands are.
I just thought some of the singing by Squeeze(especially by Glenn Tilbrook)is up there will the likes of Elvis Costello-tuneless and annoying.
I also was talked into seeing Chris Difford when I was half canned and it was one of the worst things I've ever seen(compounded by the fact it was a seated show too).
Almost as tuneless as Billy Bragg.

^^Blondie must have had a real off night. Saw them a couple of times (once near their heyday, early 80's), and they were superb live.
Clem Burke was / is a great drummer, imo. This is a fair estimation of what they were normally like in concert:

Not musically but Glenn Tilbrook can't sing for shit.
Neither can Difford. In fact Jools Holland is probably the best and he left them.

Probably the best as a musician OP, not a singer.
A couple of guys I know went to see Jools and his big band and said it was a great night out.
