Great song. The Pretenders were never the same after they lost James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon.

Pinging to those from the previous threads. Another one from the 1980s -- which is odd because I didn't like many of these songs back in those days. They've grown on me, I guess.

I've come to like songs with interesting stories behind them, and this is one of them. James Honeyman-Scott has that distinctive sound on the lead guitar, too.

We're officially past the halfway point!

"Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules; I never could and still never do."

Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed from the ping list!

I think that is one of the best songs by The Pretenders.
