Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Clem Burke (Blondie drummer)

“[Favorite Blondie song] Actually, my personal favorite is our first single "X Offender" which is also an homage to the Phil Spector Wall of Sound, Wrecking Crew sound. I was trying to emulate the drums of Hal Blaine on that record. And also Richard Gottehrer producing was a product of the Brill Building and also very much influenced by that whole thing we're talking about- Spector, etcetera. So, to this day, the song "X Offender" is actually my favorite song. It has very great meaning for me, you know? Kinda got our foot in the door.” — Clem Burke, Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame interview
