I love the first two Pretenders album, but the more I've learned about Chrissie Hynde, the less I like her.
I watched her berate a cashier in a coffee shop in Santa Monica once, and was really taken a back by her bitchy personality. A recent interview on NPR was similar in tone.
She's got a bratty schtick that comes off as the opposite of gracious.
Rebelliousness makes sense when you're a teenager, but it's incredibly awkward and off-putting at her age.
I hope she's nice to Stevie...
