[Dreamboat] Chrissy Hynde comments

[harley63 at san.rr.com]

The only women that I've heard Chrissie say anything nice about is Ann & Nance.
This happened at a show they did at the Paramount in Seattle, where Chrissie gave a shout out to Ann (who was in the audience). 
Love the Pretenders' songs and sound though!
I read an interview where Hynde pretty much says she despises girls (female fans) coming up to her and saying how much she inspired them but loves it with boys say it. I found that very strange... and disheartening.
