CHRISSIE HYNDE A “PUNK ROCKER”!!

"Hey, I’m sick of all these dinosaur bands,” complains Chrissie Hynde, a former American who now makes her home in Jolly Ole England. "Who cares about Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones or the Beatles? It's time for a change; we've gotta tear down the walls and build some new ones!" Chrissie is a part of the British "punk rock” movement, which began in early 1981 and subscribes to "anarchy,” "no rules” and other engaging concepts. Will anything come of this movement? Who knows? Interesting, though. Oh, and, uh, Chrissie, do something about that hair, will you?
