from Dave Navarro’s Blog: What a night at the Viper Room last night! The bottom line? We helped raise a lot of money for our good friend Scott P so he can receive the medical treatment he needs. Thank you to everyone who sent in donations, bid on items in during the auction and came to the show to help support this very important cause. We, Camp Freddy, thank you and I know that Scott thanks you! We had an amazing line up featuring Abby from Slunt, Warren DiMartini, Terri Nunn, Corey Parks, Cory Taylor, Billy Duffy, Dave Kushner, Mark McGrath, Stephen Perkins and Chrissie Hynde! Yes, THE Chrissie Hynde. She got up with us for a totally unexpected version of Brass In Pocket and a version of Suffragette City. I think she even threw some Elvis in there if I am not mistaken. So, this is where I’d expect the press to make a big deal out of the performance, but let me tell you this… She turned in what rock is partly all about… Not giving a fuck and having a great time not giving a fuck! Sure, I had to coax her into doing Brass… But once we got there… It was magical! We have done Brass in Pocket many times as a band but doing it with Chrissie was absolutely a highlight in my career. Sure… Making out with her during the song didn’t suck either!
