- Chrissie Hynde: "Bernie [Rhodes] brought in this kid one day, too good-looking I thought to be in the band. It was an art student, and it was Paul Simonon. And I thought, I looked at Paul and Mick together, and I thought I gotta get out of this now, because, you know, they - I could see they were made for each other." [4]
