Quotes

...Hynde says, "After all these years of consumers and animal welfare groups trying to enforce a ban, many cosmetic companies are still testing on animals. Please check for a cruelty-free guarantee before buying a product and if it is not stated on the label, put it back on the shelf! "Only by doing so can we see an end to the grisly practice of animal testing. Some of the biggest and most heavily advertised brands are still the guilty ones - don't let them deceive you! Check online with the Humane Society International if in doubt.""
"Only by doing so can we see an end to the grisly practice of animal testing. Some of the biggest and most heavily advertised brands are still the guilty ones - don't let them deceive you! Check online with the Humane Society International if in doubt."
...But then the song takes off and Shirley’s lyrics are about that Dylan Thomas poem [ "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night] and the song is all about fighting and wanting to stay alive. I hear ’80s new wave in the way I played the drums. You could probably pick any song and hear about a half dozen influences from all sorts of styles of music."
