I just watched Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders on Dave Letterman.

Hynde is 57 years old, and looks great in skintight jeans, and still wears her hair in bangs that hang in her eyes.

I want to be Chrissie Hynde when I grow up. Except I'm only 7 years behind her, so I better grow up fast.

I saw them live for the first and only time about ten years ago. Fantastic show. Old line star quality.

I'll never forget the video for Brass in Pocket.

I remember that video.

Chrissie...to say that she was just always herself may sound dumb, but she began with her own look and it wasn't an airbrushed, dieted to death, record company look. And she plays guitar! And she gives off this vibe of rock 'n' roll authority (1) that just doesn't age. Or get old, for that matter.

(1) a term I swiped from an article about the Runaways that appeared in Creem magazine waay too long ago.
