    Members of Devo were also at Kent state during the shooting and inspired to form a band. Great upload on Chrissy Hyde. To my memory the 1st LP and Brass in pocket had both had the No,1 spot when I saw them here in the UK 1980.

    Chrissie Hynde is friends with my grandma. They used to do photo shoots together, and I’m guessing on that cause my grandma has a lot of photos of her doing different kinds of fashion, and she’s in Chrissie’s book. Chrissie also sends her a box of different treats from where she is to my grandma on her birthday.
    Not to brag or anything, I just think that’s pretty cool

    I don't know if I'm too old or too young to having had Chrissie on my radar. The first time I saw her name was as a guest on Rob Sterwar's "One Night Only" DVD. Thoroughly enjoyable album. She duo'd with Rob on "As Time Goes By". It was one of the highlights. And, because of stumbling over your RUclips channel, I now know enough from your profile of Chrisie that I've designated myself an expert. (BTW what is YOUR name and where can I find some bio stuff?) I like your idea of doing a series on "Women in Music". It's gotta be a short series, won't it? LOL

    Good video. A lot of history in a short time frame. I was 17 the first time I heard The Pretenders and paid attention to it. I was in Portugal, where I am from, and an American guy I met on vacation gave me a cassette (lol) of Learning To Crawl. I had heard one of the songs before, but after I listened to the entire album, I enjoyed. Soon after that, the same American guy sent me by postal service all the way from the USA Pretenders I and II. I liked those even better. I think The Adulteress, Tattooed Love Boys, and Precious are my favorites, still today. Later on, I moved to the USA and married that guy. And we both saw a lot of concerts through the years, and one of them was The Pretenders, at a small venue in California, and definitely one of my favorite concerts. It was intimate. Chrissie has said that the song she hates to sing the most is Brass in Pocket. I guess she is over it.

    Ms Hynde and I grew up in Akron a few blocks apart and went to all the same schools. She's one year younger than me... so, of course, I couldn't be bothered to know some little girl younger than me. Her Vegan restaurant in Akron was great It closed a number of years ago. It was downstairs in a condo building where she kept a place in Akron. Her younger brother Terry plays Jazz Sax in and around town. Her favorite record store (and mine) is in an old shop in Highland Square in Akron, where she and I spent our Saturday's through the late 50's early 60's watching movies at the Highland Cinema growing up. Her song, "My City was Gone" is about massive Urban Renewal projects in Akron that totally changed the city from what it used to look like.

She reviewed a Kinks single from " Preservation"( reprinted in " The British Invasion" book by Nicholas Shaffner. THE PRETENDERS covered Ray Davies " I Go to Sleep". Davies was interviewed in March 1984 and asked about Kerr- Hynde relationship. It was a shock to him finding out this way.Thanx! I liked her appearance on Friends show

    Chrissie Hinds was EPIC. My post-punk college band covered 6 Pretenders tunes while working in nightclubs. They (SHE!) were THE BOMB. I was thrilled to see her appear in that biopic film. I am even more thrilled to see her fingerprints across history from Kent State and beyond. My cousin (older sister) covered the Kent State event in her high school report in the mid-'70s. Her fierce sense of justice was an inspiration to me when I was a young 'tweenager'.
    As a kid only about 10 years younger than Chrissie, I continue to perform, in the trenches, predominantly mainly Brasilian Jazz, but Chrissie and the lads will always remain on my iPhones.

    This is a very good video. I knew there was a larger story behind CH, but I certainly learned a lot here.
    The Kent State was very sad incident in United States history. I am not going to get into assigning blame. I will just say that the US Military shooting US citizen's is sickening. Not that it hasn’t happened before, hopefully it won’t happen again.
    I respectfully recommend that before you as a Canadian, make statements about US actions in Vietnam, you ought to do your homework. President Nixon did not escalate the war in Vietnam. On the contrary, the peak of US troops committed to Vietnam was in 1968 under President Johnson. There were significant withdrawals of US military personnel every year from 1969 to 1973 when there were less than 100 in 1973.

    About "MY City Was Gone:" the late Rush Limbaugh used it for his intro music on his very famous show. Chrissie never went after Rush for royalties because her father was a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh and it made her Dad so happy.
    UNTIL Rush decided to run his mouth on the air one day, laughing and boasting about how much more he loves his intro music because it was written by a hippie left-wing vegan loon. Chrissie reached out to Mr Limbaugh. You will pay me for every single time you played my song 🎵 over 52 weeks a year for all these years, OR You can donate $10,000 to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. That's right, Rush donated 10K$ to PETA!

    Let's get one thing straight, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren did not invent Punk. The original Punks where the fans going to see the Rocky Horror Show playing at the theater in the Kings Road Chelsea. McLaren's shop SEX just also happened to be in the Kings Road, and it was a fetish shop. Also The Sex Pistols were not the first Punk band, that was The Damned who where promoted by Marc Boland of T-Rex.
