Summary
From Chrissie Hynde, one of rock’s most iconic, alluring, kick-ass, and (let’s face it) sexy women, a brilliant, no-holds-barred memoir of a rock life lived to the hilt.

 Chrissie Hynde, the songwriter and frontwoman of The Pretenders in its various incarnations, has for thirty-five years been one of the most admired and adored and imitated figures in rock. This long-awaited memoir tells her life story in full and utterly fascinating detail, from her all-American Ohio fifties childhood to her classic baby-boomer seduction by the rock of the sixties to her sojourn in the crucible of punk that was seventies London to her instant emergence with her band, The Pretenders, in 1980 into stardom as a frontwoman and songwriter. She brings a fantastic eye for detail, a withering and sardonic sense of humor, and a fearless and sometimes naked emotional honesty to her memoir, and every line, every word of it is unmistakably hers. It is sure to be recognized as a classic of rock literature—and, man, is it fun to listen to.

Profile Avatar Billie L. Jul 2024

This is a must read for any Chrissie fan. She may have been reckless, but she was also relentless. A very well done autobiography. My only complaint is the narration. It’s AkRUN, not AkRON. It’s MeDIna, not MeDEEna. So much of Chrissie’s story is where she grew up and the least Rosanna could do was get the pronunciation right.

Love the candid insights on the most important female rocker of the 20th century. Highly recommended
