Learning To Crawl

The Pretenders release their 3rd album on January 21, 1984. This one took a while mainly due to the sad drug overdose deaths of James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon. The wait was OK with fans .. the album became the band's most successful and highest-charting album.

Well, I adopted not one but two male cats today, one a five year-old tuxedo cat like Kidder Cat was named Gizmo (he doesn’t have a tail) and a three year-old named Nubs. I pick them up Monday from the county humane society. More on that later. Now, though, the evening’s “live” selection here on deck, a really good rendition of my favorite Pretenders tune featuring Neil Young on some guitar.

Minnesota-bound to see grandkids. So of course I’m crankin’ a song about Ohio. I wonder if Chrissie Hynde has considered a re-write for the helluvit. Something makin’ fun of J.D. Vance.
