The little movie at the start sucks (skip to 1:00 is suggested by me) but DAMN that girl was hot and could sing.

I mean ... people mistake her for being gay cause she's kinda like a dude. But if that's your bag ...

[iceman]

You are nutty, imo, if you don't think she was hot. Watch her move. Listen to her sing. But hey different strokes.

[Grape_Ape]

This thread feels like effort is required to extract the WTFness. 2/10.

Those are not great Pretenders songs despite the fact that they were popular. Here's a couple of great Pretenders songs:

i always liked this one

[old goat]

Maybe they could have Patti (or Chrissie) sing the anthem at Bruins games instead of the idiot in the tux. For that matter, I think it might be Pattie who announces home team goals.

[Gepeto]

Don't read it yo.

I keep thinking back on all those great threads you started. Wait, no. That was someone else.

This:


do it do it do it dooo it on the paaaavement!

but not me baby, I'm too precious, fuckoff...


and this:



I don't need that fucking shit!

[Steven S. Dallas]

I actually don't have a real strong opinion of either, but was pretty sure I could save Benny some face by stirring the Hynde pot and creating a diversion from this otherwise incoherent thread.

Dallas, you've done it again.

[Tippster]

I've had a crush on Chrissy Hynde since I was in puberty. Patti Smith not so much. Dancing Barefoot was awesome, tho.

IDIOT IN A TUX????? Did you mean Mr. Rene Rancourt.


Please fuck yourself vigorously.

Too funny.

I fell instantly and forever in love with CH because of Precious. Ruined some speakers with that album.

Patti Smith is a cultural force of nature. Not that easy on the eyes though.

I guess someone has to be on Benny saving duty. Better you than me.

I can see the Hynde/Smith comparison. Smith is kind of like Hynde if you suck out all the talent, songwriting ability, and vocal aptitude.

[Dexter Rutecki]

IDIOT IN A TUX????? Did you mean Mr. Rene Rancourt.

Gotta be, right? He's the only one singing it in a tux at Bruins games and has been doing so for several centuries.

[old goat]

Gotta be, right? He's the only one singing it in a tux at Bruins games and has been doing so for several centuries too long.

fify. I'd rather hear Roseann Barr sing it. Hopefully the Bruins won't make the playoffs this season and I won't have to listen. (Thank god for DVR's.)

[iceman]

I think he's pretty much got that job until he dies.

[MMP]

If you don't like RR you aren't a B's fan. What happened, did you switch when the whalers left for Carolina?

And smash Chrissie in the face with a baseball bat four or five times, and deny her access to a proper shower for a year or so.

[Tri-Ungulate]

Honestly, I dunno, people are so young and/or jaded these days that they don't remember how transgressive punk was when it first burst upon the scene, and how Patti Smith, love her or hate her, was one of the first who embraced that radical change we now take for granted. I wouldn't be surprised if Hynde herself acknowledged that Smith set the stage for the Pretenders moment in the sun. So what if Patti wasn't a hottie, neither is Joni Mitchell (or Keith Richards or Muddy Waters) for that matter.

[Benny Profane]

Johnny Ramone scowls from the grave. He hated that poetry shit.

[Tri-Ungulate]

Or Joey Ramone, for that matter.

Ya think? I'm not sure the Ramones ever gave a flying fuck one way or another.

[iceman]

She didn't have a very long run and she didn't have that many great tunes but Patti is an icon for good reason.
