The tune was released on three different dates in 1981 in three unique configurations, first as a standalone single in February, next, in March, as part of a five-song EP imaginatively titled Extended Play and then finally in August as part of their second album Pretenders II, the followup to their debut album Pretenders (hopefully the creative brain trust tasked with naming their records got nice bonuses for their creativity...) Met with OK-but-not-stellar reviews (compared to its long-playing predecessor) upon its release, the passage of time has been kind to Pretenders II and it is now considered as a must-have record from the post-punk/new wave era that bridged the end of the Seventies and the dawn of the Eighties. The record also marks the last recordings of the original lineup of Chrissie Hynde (guitar & vocals), James Honeyman-Scott (guitar), Pete Farndon (bass) and Martin Chambers (drums) - when their next single "Back on the Chain Gang" was released in September 1982 Honeyman-Scott was gone, having died of a cocaine overdose in June at the age of 25 and Farndon had been kicked out of the band due to his heroin addiction. He would OD in April of 1983 at the age of 30. Stay away from drugs, kids. No kidding around. (In a bit of weird irony, Andy Kaufman is seen here introducing the band and apologizing to them for "any inconvenience I may have caused them during my last introduction". His "last introduction" had turned into a rambling lecture about the danger of drugs - as the band stood awkwardly behind him, waiting to play - until the curtain was drawn closed and the show went to commercial. It was pure bizarro comedy that Kaufman was (in)famous for - earlier in the show he had professed to be a born-again Christian and had performed a duet with a female gospel singer he claimed was his fiance - but in light of Honeyman-Scott's & Fardon's narcotics-related deaths not too long after this performance it turned out to be a strange and weird irony.)

Fridays coincided with the worst seasons of SNL, right after the original cast left. It was better than SNL while it was on, and they tended to have better bands. The humor could get a little cheap sometimes, though. It really died because of the Nightline show delaying its live performance during the Iran hostage crisis, and it never recovered, so it was cancelled after just two years.

Apparently around the time of this show Hynde and Belushi went and saw Timothy Leary? the acid guru and ex Harvard professor. I believe this show was in October of 1981 and Belushi was dead approximately 5 months later on March 5, 1982. Someone writing a book about the band noted that JHS was regaling his friends with tales about Belushi's legendary drug consumption and his dying in his sleep. Ironically and sadly, JHS was describing his own imminent death as he would die in his sleep just 3 months after Belushi.

She was exes with him and wanted him gone, and the poor bastard probably thought he was through outside the band. He was a serviceable but not especially good bassist. Chambers is a fine drummer but not irreplaceable- Keltner did fine. James Honeyman Scott was the key employee, and the band name has had no value except for "Chrissie's backing band" since then. She has been effectively a solo act since then and she is the only one who doesn't know-or pretends not to. There is no denying that she is a great singer-songwriter, and that she (for all that animal rights crap) is also a ruthless individual capable of some pretty rotten behavior. I would never let myself get too close to her personally or professionally (not that that's likely anyway). I got a kick out of her kvetching with that stupid Sandra Bernhard about " I'm a prize, if no one wants me, fuck them". No Chrissie, the problem is that you are not a prize. Fifty years of vegan has left your face brittle and sunken-in and your rep precedes you. You look old. You have busted the balls of every man you have been with and now your chickens are coming home to roost.

Wamgo C ...ten years ago, i may have disagreed with you. Now, i can say you are 100 on the money with that comment. Chrissie said herself she wasnt the kindest person to anyone, and that Pete for his tough persona, was kind of sensitive, at least with her. I guess it was you always hurt the ones you love alot of the time. So i read this comment and saw an interview vid (vh1) where Chrissie admits being a bitch, puts on a tough talk, buther face!!! If she is haunted by his ghost, she asked for it...poor guy. A heroin addict, yes, i know...but you dont kick your man whenhe is down. And you certainly dont drag your new beau on the same stage with your band that includes old beau...speaking of Ray Davies here. I heard that Jimmy Scott did not get along with the kink. Hmmm. I heard that Farndons wife said he was the sweetest most lovable guy...and i believe it. Chrissie for all her talent was a real hard one. People like that usually do wind up "alone".

@ Markus : Whilst Pete was not the best bassist, he was competent and the official story is that he was sacked because his drug abuse made him very difficult to work with.

Pete carried on another ten months before dying of a heroin overdose.
