“I moved to New York in ’76, and that time was a new chapter for me. I was starting a new career, running around and working in the bars. I liked disco music – I could do roller disco, and I went to Studio 54 and all that stuff – but there were no disco records that I was really into, not like full albums that I wanted to listen to. It was stuff that you used to party to. “Parallel Lines was disco, but it was also punk-rock and edgy, and it felt like the New York streets. It reminds me so much of that time in my life. And Debbie Harry was just so sexy.”
