PRETENDERS star CHRISSIE HYNDE hates talking about politics because she's convinced Americans are not ready to elect a black president.
The singer admits she is a fan of Democrat Barack Obama, but doesn't think her fellow countrymen will vote him into the White House when they go to the polls on 4 November (08).
She tells Blender magazine, "To be honest, there's nothing I want to talk about less than politics. I'd rather vomit and lick it up.
"I like Obama, but he's not gonna win. Trust me, I know my people."

It must really irritate her that her best known song is well known only because it is the signature tune of the Rush Limbaugh program.

She said something awful and outrageous a few years back. I don't remember what...I only remember that I hate her now. I think she said the U.S. deserved 9-11 or something like that. It's not on her wiki and I'm too lazy to go see what she said.
It's a shame because The Pretenders was a great band.

I'd rather vomit and lick it up. Now, that's what voting for obama is like!
"I like Obama, but he's not gonna win. Trust me, I know my people."
Does she mean her people the "Leftest" won't come out to vote? I hope she's right!

She doesn’t want to talk politics...just wants to call the country racist for refusing to elect a black Communist.

To: KriegerGeist
The song is called “My City Was Gone”. The Pretenders own the song and Rush reportedly pays them half a million a year to use that music provided Chrissie Hynde’s voice is not used. BTW Hynde’s parents are HUGE Rush Limbaugh fans!

BTW Hynde’s parents are HUGE Rush Limbaugh fans!That has to bite! No wonder she wants to barf and eat it. $500K to use the music has to ease the pain...it's not like she is on top anymore.

I'd rather vomit and lick it up. Still the class act, like the lyrics of her songs.
(I love the music though.)

It's a shame because The Pretenders was a great band. I would respectfully disagree; they were the music intelligentsia's pet in the early 80's, supported by heavy rotation in a burgeoning video medium at the same time. While we may argue through the decades about our tastes at particular times, I would say The Pretenders fail to meet any standard of "great band" in the whole.
My own opinion is that they were interesting but forgettable, and only interesting because they were presented to me on the teevee. Had only The Pogues been so savvy....
