BIKER NEWS: Chrissie Hynde: Assault by bikers 'the way it was'

BN- Chrissie Hynde is philosophical about being raped by the outlaw bikers she hung out with as a youngster.

The Pretenders rocker, 63, has written in her memoirs, Reckless: My Life As A Pretender, about how she was beaten, robbed and raped by the gang.

In an interview to air on this week’s Sunday Morning on CBS, Chrissie said: “If you hung out with those guys, that’s what happened. That’s the way it was.”

The singer said she didn’t fear for her life, though she should have.

“We were just trying to score pot and see bands,” she explained. “And if motorcycles were part of it, then even better.”

But things could easily get out of hand.

“With a lot of these guys, once you get involved with them, you don’t really get out,” she said. “Especially if you’re a woman — you become sort of property.”
