My guest today has one of the most distinctive voices in all of rock music, and a record of success going back to the 1980s. Chrissy hyndes band, the pretenders, first made it big in the era of punk. She is still making music some three decades on, but is she still in love with rock and roll . Chrissie hynde, welcome to hardtalk. Is music as big a part of your life now as its ever been . No, not at all. Because . Well, because when i was a teenager listening to the radio, it was really the only thing i was interested in, and now its. For many reasons, thats changed.

Does it feel very different . Not really. No, i dont change very much. Ijust kind of do what i. I write some songs, put them together with the band, record it. ....
