Debbie Harry defined iconic band Blondieās look. Chris Steināher performing partner, lover, and lifelong friendāwas its architect and defined its sound. āParallel Linesā, their third album, catapulted to #1, sold 20 million copies, and launched singles like āHeart of Glassā, "Hangin' On the Telephone," and āOne Way or Anotherā, providing the beat when Bianca Jagger and Halston danced at Studio 54 and the soundtrack to every 1970ās punk-soundtracked romance.
Chris Stein knows how to tell a story. Under A Rock is his nothing-spared autobiography. It's about the founding of the band, ascending to the heights of pop success, and the hazards of fortune.
Famous names march through these pagesāWarhol, Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and moreābut you can get famous names anywhere. What you canāt get anywhere else is a plunge into the moments that made a giant 1980's artistic sensation. Stein takes us there in this revelatory, propulsive, distinctive memoir.

Reviews
"[An] atmospheric narrative." - Publishers Weekly
"With a stream-of-consciousness writing style and a talent for storytelling, the author recounts with intriguing specificity the trajectory his life has taken...fascinating." - Kirkus starred review
"[E]ngaging...Written in an off-the-cuff style, this memoir offers a descriptive, highly impressionistic account of the authorās role in Blondie and his life in New York City. Will engage general readers." - Library Journal
