Salon's ongoing Brilliant Careers series:

Twang content: the Pretenders could've been a great roots rock 
band if they wanted.

Sez Mr. Purcell:


My former future wife...

This would make a great song.

(Am I slow on the uptake?  Is it already a great song and I don't even know
about it?)

I think Little Charlie  the Nightcats have got one called 
"My Next Ex-Wife."   Close.

Not Chrissie even though I truly wish that she would get with it  record
another album.  Tired of searching compilations and soundtracks for her voice.
Now for twang content, been grooving on a new release by the Sone Coyotes
titled Church of the Falling Rain and the lead vocalist reminds me of Ms.
Hynde.  Good stuff so give it a listen if you get a chance.

Chrissie Hynde was an enormous influence on me as a kid, I ADORED THe 
Pretenders. Honeyman-Scott was such a twangy guitar player!

Everytime I saw them live I would cry, to my great embarassment...

Chrissie, btw, is just magnificent on the opening track to the new Gram 
tribute on Almo. Makes me want to have a Pretenders Weekend.

I heard a great old Pretenders song on 107.1 last week, but cant remember the 
name. The opening line was :
"I tried to talk to my baby, and said
Oh oh oh oh baby please dont cry."

I believe it is from the first or second album. any help?
It would be a great ummm, cover song for a twang band.

DIBS!!!

That's "Lovers of Today", from the first record, PRETENDERS. Next to last track,
after "Brass In Pocket" and before "Mystery Achievement".

I love pretending,

Oh yeah. And who could forget the time at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Opening Weekend show in 1995 when she refused to go onstage until the
Cleveland Stadium took down all ad banners that had any reference to meat in
them? I'll never forget seeing her yelling and screaming about it: a vintage
rock n roll spoiled cry-like-a-baby stupid silly hissy fit. Pathetic. Just
to get up and sing 1 song.

I still like the Pretenders though. And I lived in Kent, Ohio for 4 years,
right next to Stow.
