"Kid"

The Pretenders

I started the week off with music from the 1980's, so I will just continue on in that vein with some video's from The Pretenders. I saw Chrissie Hynde perform with the current version of The Pretenders a couple years ago. Unfortunately, her sound system sucked. It sounded like she was singing with her head in a bucket of water. Maybe I will get a chance to see her again sometime, when I can actually hear her.

My favorite Pretenders song, "Brass in Pocket".



"Kid"



"Stop Your Sobbing"
