Last night, the Pretenders rocked Tel Aviv, and by all accounts, Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde has still got it.
What she also has is grace, and she certainly let the audience know how much she appreciated them, and Israel in general.
Chrissie Hynde opened The Pretenders’ gig in Tel Aviv on Saturday night by marching out on stage waving a giant Israeli flag, and ended it by declaring the crowd to be “the best audience in the world.”
But Hynde, whose band played a terrific near-two-hour set at a well-filled Menora Mivtachim arena, had an even bigger compliment for Israel. A vegetarian and veteran animal rights activist, she pronounced the state to be one of the world’s leaders in animal rights.
