I saw the Pretenders open for the Who in St. Louis back in April, 1980. Sadly, there was a lot of booing and hooting from a crowd impatient for Daltrey/Townshend, though the performance was strong.
I seem to remember Bob Dylan once (long ago) saying of Chrissie that she should listen to some country music, though I can’t find a reference.
Thanks Bob. I listened to Chrissie’s collection of Dylan songs before I wrote this, but didn’t care for it as much as others do: the song selection was a bit dull. And whether Bob said it or not, it’s hard to believe she could grow up in Akron and not to exposed to country music. It would be good for her. Good for all of us to visit Planet Country (the old original stuff) once in awhile, to keep us honest. But you know that already! 😎🤩

Chrissie Hynde is awesome -- and articulate, as you point out. :)
