Martin Chambers may not be flashy, but, man, he holds this band together.

It's Chrissie Hynde's fault that I thought my tape deck's drive belt is slipping. But now I know it's just her cranking eieieieieieieieieieieieiei voice.

Indeed - as an instrumentalist, a songwriter, a vocalist AND a frontwoman. She's in a class by herself. And this song is the band at the top of their game. Never get tired of it. |

This is one of the Pretenders songs that the overplaying has not bothered me yet. Clear Channel sure has picked on them though trying to ruin everything they did.  |

Chrissie bought her blouse off the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery markdown rack...  Judging by the preceding photo posted by peter_james_bond, it appears Wikipedia needs a higher wattage light bulb on their site. |

My Chrissy Hines story goes like this:
We're in my bed making love and all of the sudden she screams she forgot to turn the gas off. I roll over and wonder where's my wife when I need her. Shit how how maintenance can it get.

The Pretenders came along, my musical life changed forever — and I'm so grateful for that! Chrissie rules! Thanks for having this on the playlist, Bill and Rebecca.

The pause...then guitar hit hooks me everytime. One of the first videos I ever saw, back when MTV still played videos.

Um... Chrissie may have been from Ohio originally but the Pretenders are really an English band. They were formed while Chrissie was in England during the time of the first punk bands. |
