Chrissie Hynde is a legend!! Brilliant songwriter, vocalist , guitar player. She inspired my coming of age as a teenager in the 80’s my songwriting, and showed us young women that yes we can be rockstars and not groupies!!!

I feel lucky to have seen the original line up in central park in 1980. Climbed a huge tree and watched from up there. no real production just amps and the stage. Very cool time in music.
