It's Happy Hour here in the east!

   http://www.oregon.gov/OLCC/images/happy_hour.jpg

and I though you'd like to get into some Pretenders!

Los Angeles version:

London version:

It's not Happy HOUR, more like Happy Four Hours
  (just like rush hour is Rush Four Hours.)

       Ahhh.. you scared me!!  

shouldn't post a close-up of a 60 y/o woman like that, especially one
controlled by the Brits.    :))

Look what happens after a 'successful world tour'.. (read lots of money)

By the summer of 1982, drug use within the band was creating serious
problems for Hynde. The Pretenders lineup would change repeatedly over
the next decade as a result of drug related deaths and internal
conflict.

Honeyman-Scott died of heart failure in June 1982, just days after
Farndon had been fired from the band. Farndon himself was found dead on
14 April 1983 by his American model wife, Conover. He had passed out and
drowned in his bathtub following a heroin overdose.    { of course }

Amidst the ever changing lineup, the controversial Hynde endured as the
sole original Pretender until Chambers' return in the mid 1990s.

Sounds like they were Brian Jones'd?

Hi Nick,

    She has had multiple sclerosis for a while now, and is trying to beat it

Radical treatment?    huh?   You've opened another can of worms.  

Here's what the web (MD) says:

"Doctors still don't understand what causes multiple sclerosis, but
there are interesting data that suggest that genetics, a person's
environment, and possibly even a virus may play a role."

What?   "there are interesting data" ?   Like what.. profit data?
The scientists that know what causes MS have been eliminated?

"Doctors still don't understand"    ???      :-o

I've been searching to find out about her and MS but have come up with
nothing. Strange!!!

And beer and easter eggs do not a happy easter make. ;-)(
