Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.

I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. Eventually Chrissie Hynde tried to convince a very young Sid Vicious (who used to hang around at SEX) to marry her just in order for her to get a work permit[citation needed]. Named after two child-killers the band consisted of future Visage front man Steve Strange on vocals Vince Ely on drums and Mark Ryan (aka The Kid) and Hynde on guitar.

Christine Ellen "Chrissie" Hynde (born 7 September 1951) is an American musician best known as the leader of the rock/new wave band the Pretenders.
