Curiosity got the best of me. I had to find the "kick the puppies" song.
"Brass in Pocket?" "Back on the Chain Gang?" "Don't Get Me Wrong?" Yes, you are right, I do love her solo stuff. I just had to go to YouTube and Wiki. I found this interesting.
"Hynde opened a vegan restaurant in Akron, Ohio, called The VegiTerranean.The restaurant, which officially opened in November 2007, serves fusion Italian-Mediterranean food.The restaurant's head chef is James Scot Jones. Prior to the restaurant's soft opening, on 15 September 2007, she performed three songs at the restaurant with an acoustic guitarist, Adam Seymour, a former lead guitarist of The Pretenders."
I checked out her restaurant menu. Awesome stuff! No salsa.
