| Summary |
The rock legend reflects on her life and career. |
|
Her signature songs project a unique mixture of toughness and vulnerability that millions of men and women have related to. Now Hynde tells, with all the fearless candor, sharp humor and depth of feeling we've come to expect, exactly where she came from and what her crooked, winding path to stardom entailed. Few other rock stars have managed to combine her swagger, sexiness, stage presence, knack for putting words to music, gorgeous voice and just all-around kick-assedness into such a potent and alluring package. |
