Hynde Quarters - Also from

Hynde Quarters - Also from Lileks, this Chrissy Hynde quote:

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders recently expressed in concert the hopes that our soldiers die and lose.

At the risk of sounding like one of those bloodthirsty hawks you read so much about: I truly hope they don’t.

I'm not going to boycott The Pretenders - you'll get "Tattooed Love Boys" when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.

No, I'll just wallow in the gleefully satisfying irony that Chrissy Hynde has probably made more money from "My City Was Gone" being played three times a day on the "Rush Limbaugh Show" than from all the album sales in her career.

I'd say we're even.

Soldiers may have a different opinion, of course.

Small Favors - I'd like to thank those of you who've been dropping anonymous contributions into my Amazon box, on the right margin. They have made this site self-supporting since I installed the box, 3-4 months ago.

I'm humbled by the donations to this, my page of personal rants and musings, honestly, and I thank you all, whomever you are, sincerely.
