It’s part of the discipline for me to be able to handle being on the road.
Especially the guy who was waiting around the hotel in Mexico City. If you’re still speaking to me, let me know if you’re all right.

(However, I still won’t sign anything or do selfies)!

I’m wondering who Pretenders fans are following in our absence?

Well, don’t get too cozy because we miss you.

And by the way, I’m still feeling bad for turning down people who want selfies or things signed.

I just love it and I miss it.

Still, you’ve gotta come off the road once in a while so you can remember how to live. Slow down a bit. Recharge the batteries.

Well, we have no plans for touring at the moment, but you’ll be the 1st to know when we do.

So if you’re depressed (like many people are by world events), do yourself a favour, cheer yourself up and be kind to an animal.

Wherever you are there must be an animal shelter in your town. If you haven’t been there lately, it’s always a good idea to either adopt an animal or donate some of your time to walking dogs, petting cats or whatever else is needed.

They expressed themselves by the way they looked… they didn’t hire people to do it for them.

I’m not even sure why anyone buys Vogue magazine but then I’m in the rock ‘n’ roll business. We don’t use make up artists or stylists. If anything we just try to emulate our heroes, like Lemmy and Brigitte Bardot.

Politics has nothing to do with it.

And by the way, a ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear. I cannot imagine that Bardot had any irrational fears judging by the way she lived her life.
Perhaps people working for Vogue magazine should buy themselves a dictionary.

She personified grace, elegance, beauty, glamour, style, and women’s rights.

She was an animal rights activist and anyone who knows anything about animal rights knows that we will always side with the animal if it’s being tortured or abused in any way.
