Chrissie Hynde, leader of the Pretenders, is one of the most widely imitated figures in rock: sexy, unflappable, vulnerable yet tough, a groundbreaking songwriter and performer.
We follow her to London, where she takes a job with NME and makes her way into the churning \'70s London punk scene, meeting Lemmy, Sid Vicious and Iggy Pop, living.
We see her all-American 1950s childhood in Ohio, and her teenage self falling for the rock music of the 1960s.
In these pages, Chrissie gives us her story.
