[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Chrissie Hynde[/lastfm] of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Pretenders[/lastfm] turns 60 today. She has always marched to the beat of her own drum. With humble beginnings in Akron she has survived in an atmosphere that can prove to be toxic to performers, let alone female performers. She has her own way of looking at things, and that has suited her just fine.
