John Fogarty is eighty years young today.

The Pretenders were formed in 1978. Chrissie Hynde is the driving force behind the behind, i.e., without her, there is no Pretenders. The band has had more than its share of tragedy. Original guitarist James Honeyman-Scott died at the age of 25 from cocaine induced heart failure. Bassist Pete Farndon died  at 30 of heroin  induced drowning  in his bathtub after being dismissed from the band due to drug problems. Both gentlemen are in this video of one of their hits from 1980:


Amen.

My favorite thing about her is when she recounted that she was raped by some Hells Angels and took responsibility for her moronic decision to go out partying with Hells Angels. Like my grandpappy always said, "Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas!"

That and she allowed Rush Limbaugh to use her music in his show openers.
