[Ann Powers] Chrissie Hynde, I remember very well when I saw the cover of the first Pretenders album, and here was this woman
in girl-group eyeliner, and a rock 'n' roll
rooster haircut like the guys
in the Stones had, wearing a leather jacket, and just looking so tough, and then I heard her voice, and the tenderness, the compassion, the vulnerability in that voice that then would switch over

[Ann Powers] Chrissie Hynde,

00:00:01.958 --> 00:00:02.828

I remember very well

00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:04.395

when I saw the cover

00:00:04.526 --> 00:00:06.528

of the first Pretenders album,

00:00:06.658 --> 00:00:11.271

and here was this woman in girl-group eyeliner,

00:00:11.402 --> 00:00:14.231

and a rock 'n' roll rooster haircut

00:00:14.361 --> 00:00:16.189

like the guys in the Stones had,

00:00:16.032 --> 00:00:17.887

wearing a leather jacket,

00:00:18.999 --> 00:00:20.106

and just looking so tough,

00:00:20.237 --> 00:00:22.001

and then I heard her voice,

00:00:22.152 --> 00:00:23.675

and the tenderness,

00:00:23.806 --> 00:00:25.416

the compassion,

00:00:25.547 --> 00:00:27.505

the vulnerability in that voice

00:00:27.636 --> 00:00:30.726

that then would switch over to absolute ballsiness,

00:00:30.856 --> 00:00:32.815

but that's Chrissie, you know.
