[history]
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."

Nothing to boycott here - she's not done anything relevant in 20 years.

That's stupid, Chrissie. I won't be boycotting her, however, as the first Pretenders album is one of the great ones.
To: EggsAckley
Un-f###ing believable.
Rush had better change his bumper music.

I think our band represents all the great losers of the world Ofcourse, her brand of "losing" is much more comfortable than the average bloke.

Too many drugs.

Golly, I was wondering what this radical Vegan skank was thinking about Iraq.

The 2 finger salute she's giving means "F" "U" in the UK, where she's been living for the past 20+ years.
The last time I saw her on television she was wearing a very very short miniskirt, and she looked old and haggard. You can't tell in that photo, but she looks 60 at the least.
To: EggsAckley
She's making note that she and her fans are losers, so they don't care if the lose more.
They like being in the pit of disparity, or better known as masochism.
I will pay for the Pretenders membership, if they really want to experience loss:

How weird. I did a search on the EXACT title and came up with nothing. *Wondering if the search engine has a problem*
Admin Mod: Please delete and direct to other post.

Who the fu** is she anyway?
She looked at a train coming down the track, it jumped the track and headed down a dirt road. No that is really ugly.

I completely missed the other thread. But, had I made a more timely entrance, I'd have asked:
THAT'S A WOMAN?

I am a huge fan of the Pretenders too, and agree what she said was really stupid, and shocking and disappointing too. The early albums were the best but the concerts are as good as ever...Actually I could never believe she would let Rush Limbaugh use her "Ohio" for his show. I cannot believe she would be a fan of his on any level!
To: EggsAckley
Don't search by title - search by a significant word in the title. In this case I did a search for the word, 'Deserve' - sans quotes, of course. Worked fine. ;-)

Of course she doesn't realize that if the Islamists have their way, "rock 'n' roll will have to go."
