Never mind how much you got for your soul, what's the going rate for artistic credibility?

Chrissie Hynde is doing vocal work for Fifty Odd Foot of Grunts, the sub-dogstar "side project" for brawling actor Russell Crowe. Worse, they're suggesting 50OFOG might support the Pretenders on their next US tour. Although I spose that'll give Pretenders fans a few extra minutes to sort out the babysitter and find a place to park the SUV.
