A large amount of photography has been stolen from the New York apartment of veteran rock and music industry photojournalist Chuck Pulin, who passed away in his sleep the night of April 20 at the age of 69.  He had been photographing bands including Blondie since the early 1970’s, and was so kind and generous that he once met with me and a friend to show his Blondie photography.  A thief entered his apartment and selectively stole much of his most valuable work, including photos of The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen among others.  Anyone with information about this crime can contact us.

Billboard and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have articles about Chuck Pulin.

Debbie will be appearing this Thursday, May 13 at Carnegie Hall in NYC for The Rainforest Fund’s 21st Birthday Celebration Benefit Concert.  The event is on sale now and also features Sting, Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Dame Shirley Bassey.  For details and ticket information, visit the Rainforest Foundation website.

Photographer Bobby Grossman will be appearing at tomorrow’s opening of the Shepard Fairey exhibition at Deitch in New York City.  They worked together to create an approved portrait of Debbie.  You can see it on the OBEY Giant website.

Three Fine Art prints and limited edition posters will be available.  The exhibition will run until May 29.

Don’t forget, tonight’s the broadcast of the 8th Annual TV Land Awards.  Blondie will be performing two songs and receiving the Icon Award!
