βIn February 1977, Blondie was playing the Whisky with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Tom had spray-painted βTPβ on the front of the wedding dress that Debbie was wearing. She started ripping it during the second show that night, during the song βRip Her to Shredsβ.β ~Photographer Donna Santisi, viaΒ
Β βI used to wear wedding dresses a lot and just rip them off during βRip Her To Shreds,β and Iβd have a little black dress underneath. Wedding dresses were one of my favorite things to rip. Iβd get them at junk stores.β ~Debbie Harry, Blondie,Β via
