RetailChrissie Hynde,for nearly four decades the singer/songwriter/ undisputed leader of thePretenders, is a justly legendary figure.Few otherrock stars have managed to combine her swagger, sexiness, stagepresence, knack for putting words to music, gorgeous voice and justall-around kick-assedness into such a potent and alluring package. From“Tatooed Love Boys” and “Brass in Pocket” to “Talk of the Town” and“Back on the Chain Gang,” her signature songs project a unique mixtureof toughness and vulnerability that millions of men and women haverelated to. A kind of one- woman secret tunnel linking punk and new wave to classic guitar rock, she is one of the great luminaries in rockhistory.   Now, in her no-holds-barred memoir Reckless, Chrissie Hynde tells, with all the fearless candor, sharp humor and depth offeeling we’ve come to expect, exactly where she came from and what hercrooked, winding path to stardom entailed. Her All-American upbringingin Akron, Ohio, a child of postwar power and prosperity. Her soulcapture, along with tens of millions of her generation, by the gods ofsixties rock who came through Cleveland—Mitch Ryder, David Bowie, JeffBack, Paul Butterfield and Iggy Pop among them. Her shocked witness in1970 to the horrific shooting of student antiwar protestors at KentState. Her weakness for the sorts of men she calls “the heavy bikers”and “the get-down boys.” Her flight from Ohio to London in 1973essentially to escape the former and pursue the latter. Her scufflingyears as a brash reviewer for New Musical Express, shop girl at the Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood boutique 'Craft Must WearClothes But The Truth Loves To Go Naked', first-hand witness to thebirth of the punk movement, and serial band aspirant. And then ,atalmost the last possible moment, her meeting of the three musicians whocomprised the original line-up of The Pretenders, their work on theindelible first album “The Pretenders,” and the rocket ride to “Instant” stardom, with all the disorientation and hazards that involved. The itall comes crashing back down to earth with the deaths of lead guitaristJames Honeyman Scott and bassist Peter Farndon, leaving her bruised andsaddened, but far from beaten. Because Chrissie Hynde is, among otherthings, one of rock’s great survivors.   We are lucky to be living in a golden age of great rock memoirs. In the aptly titled Reckless, Chrissie Hynde has given us one of the very best we have. Hermesmerizing presence radiates from every line and page of this book.
