“[Punks] didn’t like hippies, because their parents
were hippies. I was in the States during the hippie era and in England during
the punk era. They were both anti-establishment—that’s what they had in common.
But the hippies were smoking pot, which makes you complacent, and the
complacency wasn’t what punk was about—it was about
action.”—Singer-songwriter—and Pretenders leader—Chrissie Hynde quoted in Rob
Tannenbaum, “Q and A: Chrissie Hynde,”
Rolling Stone, June 19, 2014
