Ten songs into the Pretenders' Saturday show at the Warfield, singer- guitarist Chrissie Hynde pithily summed up her group's enduring appeal and, in the process, the appeal of rock music as a whole.

"I think our band represents all the great losers of the world," she told a cheering sold-out crowd. "Because it's all about the losing." With that, she handed off her guitar, grabbed the microphone and led the Pretenders into the power ballad/anti-anthem "The Losing," off their 2002 album, "Loose Screw."

PICTURES OF Chrissy Hynde ARE DEFINITELY NOT REQUIRED ON THIS OR ANY OTHER THREAD

Exactly, people. I had to see these things before breakfast.

< Quite the opposite, play it even more. It just burns Prissy to no ends, she tried to stop him from using it but failed! >

But on the other hand, the pig gets royalties everytime Rush plays it.

[Junior]

We'll get what we deserve ... VICTORY!

Hynde while from Ohio originally has lived in England for quite a while. Oh I might add....Way to go Ohio :)

I'll eat an In and Out Double Double in honor of Chrissy Hynde.

Make it animal style.

And she is probably getting royalties for his playing it...I heard on a talk show today she ought to take the money she gets from Rush's playing it and using it against the war.

What did Ray Davies of The Kinks and Jim Kerr of Simple Minds ever see in this trash broad ?

Quite possibly their bands were aptly named for their personalities.

She's just ticked because Rush uses that opening bump. He once told of a concert where, as they played the opening chords to My City Was Gone, the audience started chanting "Rush! Rush!". She was so angry that she almost walked off the stage!

[lainie]

Hey, that's a good observation.

When you are an aging woman "rock star" who has spent twenty years being a coked up, drunken, pass-around slut like Hynde, you are going to tend to say some pretty silly, juvenile things from time to time. Cut her a break. I like her music. Nobody cares what she says.

On a thread yesterday, in a discussion of Sheryl Crow's anti-war, anti-Bush statements, I said something to the effect of, "well, she's still pretty hot and a body like that wasn't made for thinkin'". Well, needless to say, that sentiment does NOT apply to Chrissie Hynde. Attractive women have the luxury of letting their looks distract from the stupid things they say. Chrissie Hynde has no such luxury.

I think "Cowboy" by Kidrock might add some much needed hippness.

Rush enjoys sticking it to 'em.

Has anyone seen Chrissie & Alice Cooper in the same place at the same time.......??

"An Iraqi woman flashes the peace sign as tens of thousands of Iraqis demonstrate in support of President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, Iraq, on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003." That's NO PEACE SIGN - that's the DimRat Distress Signal!

She is waving to her friends in the U.S. . . .

Ask not what you can do for your country - ask what you can do for Iraq!

Same face - different war.

"War: It's not about who is right, but who is left"

Tell Chrissy who is gonna be left.
