Well, that's one way to promote a memoir.

Quote:
Pretenders singer and songwriter Chrissie Hynde has no regrets. At least about her much-attacked comments on rape in an interview published last weekend.

“They’re entitled to say whatever they want,” she told The Washington Post on Thursday about her critics. It was her first phone interview since the furor. “Do I regret saying it? I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it.”

Hynde, 63, whose memoir “Reckless: My Life as a Pretender” arrives in bookstores Tuesday, said she doesn’t read things written about her.

“I’ve just had some e-mails from friends saying, ‘Do you want to hide at my place?’ ” she said.

After a little resistance, Hynde, who released her first Pretenders album in 1980, listened as the Sunday Times paragraph that sparked the controversy was read to her, a statement that ends with her saying, “If you don’t want to entice a rapist, don’t wear high heels so you can’t run from him.”

“Sounds like common sense,” she said Thursday.

But what about people who were offended?

“If you don’t want my opinion, don’t ask me for it,” she said.


Probably irresponsible to disseminate what may be a valid coping mechanism for her, but I gotta hand it to her for doubling down.

terrible review of her book in the NYT. sounds like she put herself in some very unwise situations and she said she should not have done that. OMG!

I like how she stuck to her opinion even when people got mad. I can respect that even if I think your opinion makes you a shithead.

Having an opinion is one thing. Being an intransigent dipshit with an attitude about one's opinion(s) being unassailable is something entirely different ... what, exactly, I couldn't say ... what I would suggest, though, is that it's not 'respectable'.

This hearkens some Walter from the big lebowski...

IS SHE WRONG?

NO, SHE'S JUST AN ASSHOLE

OK THEN.

personally I always phrased it "you can't run from the apocalypse in flip flops" but if you're going to be that much more blunt about it well then c'est la vie, no?

I bet you she just found out what a tumblr is =]

Those comments are not Middle of the Road. They make her The Talk of the Town. Don't Get Me Wrong I don't agree with her but Stop your Sobbing, Chrissie. I'll Stand By You.

Inquiring minds want to know, did you spank it while listening?
