Yeah being first doesn’t mean you win automatically. There’s a story about the Ramones playing a show at a famous club in NYC and everyone in the crowd went home and started bands that became way more successful and famous than who they were trying to be like. …I think blondie was one of the bands that came out of that crowd.

You might be thinking of the Sex Pistols gig whose audience of 30-40 included Morrissey, Mark E Smith, the Buzzcocks and Lower Broughton: https://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2006/05/11...

The docudrama 24 hour party people is good to watch about this era.

Sorry, mental blip, replace "Lower Broughton" with "Joy Division" (!)

But everyone and their mom would rather be the Ramones than Blondie, LOL
