Friday Night Video

The audio isn't quite as good as I'd like, but it's not bad considering that it's 25 years old...The Pretenders perform "The Adultress" on "Fridays," that odd show that ABC launched to go up against SNL, though it did kick-start the career of Michael Richards way before "Seinfeld" (1981).

The Pretenders have had a legendary history as a band with more than its share of tragedy, though in their prime they rocked like hell, as you can see and hear.
