Chrissie Hynde's gravitational presence put her right at the heart of rock & roll's most famous scenes over and over again. And that happened before she recorded her first Pretenders album. Lex and Dave devote over two hours to the indisputable Queen of Cool, who paved the way for the raw energy sound of '90s female rock stars. From the streets of Ohio to the streets of London, this tale tracks the birth, death, and afterlife of punk. Unfasten your safety pins!Enjoying the heck out of what we do?
