Bob Gruen, Debbie Harry and car wreck, 51st Street and 6th Avenue, New York City, 1976. Bob Gruen: “I was visiting Blondie when they were recording their first album in the Rockefeller Centre. I’d noticed this car just left on the street after what looked like a horrific accident, and suggested we take a photograph. So Chris stuck the guitar in the trunk and Debbie got down and acted like she was crawling out – they put it together themselves, I didn’t tell them what to do, and it took two minutes from beginning to end. Everyone was looking and it was very funny, but I have felt guilty since, ‘cos it was a serious wreck and yeah, someone might have died in it. We sent it out to magazines with no explanation. They had to make their own stories up about what had happened!”
