    It's more like Chrissie Hynde as the Pretenders. She sacked Martin Chambers (the only other living original member) and gathered a brand new batch of players (including Jim Keltner on drums).

    She sacked Chambers? Wow, thats harsh man...especially since hes the one guy who didn't leave the band "the hard way" if you know what I mean?

    On the other hand, Keltner's a great drummer...

    I've been in the presence of Chrissie Hynde yelling at someone. I'm not altogether sure that death wouldn't be a better way to go...

    Keltner is a great drummer. You guys have to check out the new BB King if you haven't yet. He's great on it.

    My Dylan arrived tonight, so I'll be listening at work tomorrow!!

    I did see Chrissie cussing out the audience at an outdoor Neil Young show one year for barbequing hamburgers if that counts.

    Josh, the Dylan is freaking amazing. Hopefully you got the thre disc version (or at least the two disc). Its great shit.

    Yeah, that counts. I was hanging out in the lobby of the venue before the show when Chrissie came out to yell at a lady wearing a fur coat. She wouldn't let her inside til she brought the coat back to her car.

    If anyone gets that three disc edition, I hope they'll be seeding disc three out to torrent sites. At that ridiculous, disgusting, putrid, stink-ridden, assholish, vomit-inducing, bad thing price, they'd better be expecting everyone who gets those to be farming out copies to everyone they know. God, I'm pissed as hell about this - this beats the crap out of the Walmart exclusives. I hope this deluxe set tanks. Fuck off, Dylan & Columbia, you thieving shit-asses. It's kind of like they're asking people to steal music, isn't it?

    Yep, Chrissie yells alot! She yelled at me for taking her picture at a concert recently. Yelled even more at someone else for the same thing. Pretty much was hostile to the whole audience all evening. Sigh...tortured rock star. Still like her tho...
