The devastating loss behind The Pretenders’ biggest hit in 1982
A smash hit with a dark past.
The Pretenders
Rural thugs, smack, and the story of Chrissie Hynde’s eventual 1980 breakthrough
A landmark success…
Chrissie Hynde condemns fans filming concerts on phones: “It reminds me of monkeys wanking”
“Can someone please explain.”
The radical bands that scared “the shit out of” Pete Townshend: “They’ll play it on the radio in LA”
“You can’t hear the words…”
The new wave band Neil Young called “one of the greatest ever”
The ultimate example of rock and roll attitude.
Remembering Chrissie Hynde’s brutal attack on “petty” English people and ‘EastEnders’
“Kinda pisses me off”.
The definition of punk, according to Chrissie Hynde: “Refreshing and interesting”
“It wasn’t about sex either.”
