What Gary Valentine did after Blondie features tonight. Was he pushed or did he jump, I'm still not sure...wait till i check.... he left of his own accord, it seems. Anyway, he recorded a fairly snappy little tune called "The First One" in 1978, which wasn't as big a hit as 'Heart Of Glass'.ÌýNever mind.ÌýHe didn't manage to get on stage with the rest of Blondie when they received their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame which produced an extremely embarrassing section of the great ´óÏó´«Ã½4Ìýdocumentary on the band. Debbie Harry politely said no to Gary, Frank Infante and Nigel Harrison. I supposeÌýthere would be too many on stage.Ìý

Maybe one of Mickey's jokes went way over my head but.....
'South Bay' is usually a reference to the area around San Jose ie the southern part of San Francisco bay.

Of course, the more plausible answer is that my geographical knowledge of the USA is pitiful. I know where my sister lives outside Detroit, and that's about it. Feel free to email me with more details of the remark. michael.bradley@bbc.co.uk. Same email adress for you too Mickey. Happy to help.
