No that's not correct, Blondie is the name of the singer, who also happened to be the lead singer of the band, Blondie. I think you could use a fact check here

He would genuinely be better off if he nailed his colours to the mast a bit more and appeared willing to take stances on things, but it's not in his temperament and/or his advisors think having opinions on things is bad.
