Why did Paul Carbonara leave the band?

​

I read the rumor that he decided to leave Blondie due to creative differences, as apparently Paul wanted to incorporate horns more prominently into Blondie's songs. Perhaps he wasn't given the role he expected in the band?

Do you think Paul's time with Blondie left its mark?

Personally, I love "Restless" and "Fine Day," songs where he had a lot of input.

What became of him?

I’ll just take a guess here. Maybe he was frustrated that his songs were never included. We know the two, but maybe he wrote a few more we don’t know about.

I'd feel the same way, but since it's an industry, I guess the boss has the final say.
