All Hail The Goddess of Rock-n-Roll!
I saw The Pretenders at the House of Blues on Sunset in Los Angeles last night. Chrissie sounded great, looked good, and was in a great mood and bantering with the audience. Her band is amazing (Guitarist Adam Seymour is unbelievable)and tight. One of the best moments was when the band started to play "Stop Your Sobbing" and had to stop twice because Chrissie was playing it wrong. Adam Seymour walked over to her and showed her the chords. Also, Chrissie was wearing a very "sparkly" jacket which she referred to as a "Keith Richards jacket." She then said, "I have been compared to the great man many times. There is one big difference, though...he can play!"

2. as soon as I saw your subject line, I thought....gonna flame this loser
unless they say Chrissy Hynde!

One of my all time favorites, except for a very bad cover of Little Wing.

I love the Pretenders.

BY the way... do your power lines have floaters so the airplanes don't get snagged?

4. It's funny -- while I was at the show last night, all I could think of
was "Chrissie Hynde is a goddess."

She sounded absolutely amazing.

By the way, my power lines don't have floaters but the train conductor said, "Take a break, Driver8..."

3. Dang. I thought this was going to be about Patti Smith
Chrissie Hynde is damn good, though.

Wish I had been there!

11. I thought you were gonna say Joan Jett.
Chrissie is the person who said that there are no great female rockers.
