- The first video in my series about the History of Women in Music - The Amazing, Incredible Life of Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders.
Chrissie had an enviable life - present for so many of the major movements and events in music history. Let's talk about her early life as a college student at Kent State University through the UK punk scene in the 70s and her concert tribute to the legendary Linda McCartney.

"Time the Avenger" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I could listen to it on a loop for ages and never get tired of it. Chrissie is an amazing artist.
Thanks for another great vid, didn’t know much about Chrissie, what an amazing artist and remarkable woman she is.
Thanks for watching!! She's really been through it all.
Love,love,love Chrissie Hynde! I thought she was the coolest of all female singers, songwriters, just raw n real, not glammed up for show! Great lyrics, great guitar, great voice, what a icon!🎶✨
Many things I never knew about Chrissie...thank you!
You are so welcome!
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 has always been one of my most favorite female singers, so unappreciated, love that she is vegan and fights for animal rights🤗
I love that/her. Chrissie!!!
The narrators voice is intolerable, most irritating noise ever
Well done young lady. I like your style & this video. I'd encourage you to keep on making quality videos like this. Cheers.
Well done!! I lived in London for part of that time period. It was so intoxicating and colorful! I love Chrissie, her music and am so glad she champions animal rights!!
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.
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.
Thank goodness I had Chrissie and other Punk era ladies like Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, Poly Styrene, Soiuxise Sioux, Nina Hagen, The Slits, etc. and Kate Bush who's on her own planet.
Skeeter NYC When you say you had all those women, I take it you mean you had sex with them? As "had" in that context is an euphemism for sex.
I am so glad you are doing longer videos over here on youtube! You have such a gift for story telling!
thank you...you did a really great job with this...i enjoyed it
I just found you!!! I’m an old Hippy Chick and believe you me it was the best time to be alive. Girl Power!!!
Welcome Denise!!
Loved the vid , great job
Just found your youtube channel after watching your Tic Tocs. great content keep up the great work!
Good summary. Chrissie's book is fantastic and wonderfully informative about this era. She has lived an amazing life.
That was the video bio I've ever seen. A + +
I always thought she was bad-ass, but I had no idea what an incredible life she led. My mom’s last concert she attended (before passing from cancer) was the Pretenders in 2020 and she spoke of how good Chrissie was.
Wow! Cool! Thanks for all that info! I bought their first album, with her in a red leather jacket & I've been a fan ever since! Boots of Chinese Rubber???? She's STILL doing it!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow. I knew almost none of that about Chrissie Hynde. What an amazing life and career. I’ve never been a Pretenders fan, but I’ll give them another listen. Thanks!
I recommend their first two albums - I've been listening to it all week its so good!!! Thanks for watching!
@Jeff Williams Loooove their first album. And their second album. ;)
Great vid! So glad your channel was randomly suggested to me today, instant subscriber!!..
BTW-R. I. P VIVIENNE WESTWOOD 🙏
I didn't know she lived such an interesting life. Very informative, fast paced and great narrative! Wish I got to be at one of her concerts. Now I'm going to watch Pistol!
Just found your channel, I see the amount of work put into it. Great job!! Subscribed!!!
That means a lot, thank you very much!
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 TH-cam 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
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
Nicely done.
Hi Chrissie is my 4th cousin through my moms side . My mom was a Castello and Chrissie was from the Castellos
Nice doc on one of my favaorites
She was also in a band with Mark Mothersbaugh, pre-Devo.
She was! And her first kiss was Jackie Wilson. Haha There was so much more I could have said here! Thanks for the comment!
@@raisedbyhippies3792 It's a great channel, and if I can help by engaging, I am more than happy to.
I do a deep dive into the Pretenders every couple years- what a massive talent she is. I can’t help noticing the similarities between them and Morrissey. Love Morrissey as well- his solo catalog is very, very similar sounding to the Pretenders. JMO.
I have three favorite rock n' roll badass women. Chrissie, Janis, ad PJ
I have a photo of Chrissie Hynde with Ray Davies baby in NYC. I think it got published in People. 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
Excellent❤
Its so interesting to learn about women I really had no clue about... kind of speaks on how it is still a bit challenging as a women musician because they arent fantasized about like their male counterparts. And Like another commenter ive also never been a huge pretenders fan but the way youve told the story of her life and the time period really adds another layer and going to now have another listen. Cant wait for more !!
Thanks so much for the comment!! I think that’s totally true too - so many amazing women were overlooked! Thank you again! ♥️
Christie has never gotten her due in my opinion. Her song writing and voice are incredible. She’s a true artist in every sense of the word.
She is a pretty good painter too. I love her work.
Super well done…so smart and hip…unlike most everything else on yt
I agree with you that Chrissie was one of the best parts of the Pistol miniseries, and the actress who played her was so good.
It said the video was 9 minutes long, but it felt like half that. You tell the story so well that time went by fast. I hope you get to share your story telling talent on an even bigger platform some day.
Thank you so much for all of your support!!
Brilliant machine gun docu of her life...., no dead spots here.... loved it
Saw the Pretenders with the B52s at Radio City Music Hall- Legendary!!!
This was a very informative video. I was a Punk in the 1980s and I didn't know the extent of her history you've outlined here. Excellent video. Could you please tell me the name of the Sex Pistols series. I've never heard of it. Cheers. 😀
That was great...You've got a great vibe and well researched. Can you please do Joni Mitchell :)
I'd love to talk about Joni!
Loved her for 40 yrs. LOL She shoosed me at my first Pretenders concert because I was too loud. I couldn't help it I was on the 2nd row. She looked straight at me!! I was whooping with excitement My friend elbowed me and said She is looking at you. Then Chrissie put her finger to her mouth and shooshed me. I quieted down but At that brief moment in time I existed in Chrissie's universe. 🥰🥰 I will never forget.
Reaaly great stuff , Just a quick note that the draft was the trigger for the protests, 19 , song about the average age of the 58k US soldiers who died
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.
Im from hereford James Honeyman Scott was virtually living with us in my mums council house before he became famous 2 weeks before jimmy died he called my mum and she warned him that she dreamed of him having an overdose 2 weeks later he was dead 😢😢
You are such a great story teller ..perhaps do a story on Australian singer Christine Joy Amphlett .songwriter and actress, best known as the frontwoman of the rock band Divinyls. She was notable for her brash, overtly sexual persona and subversive humour in lyrics .
If you listen to her debut album you can totally hear the post punk influence....
Do you have a mini doc on siouxsie sioux??
Interesting...I don't know her music at all but of Interest nonetheless. Greetings from the French Alps. 💖🐕💖
Simple Minds were pretty well known in the UK, Australia and Europe before 1985. The Breakfast Club got them wider attention in the US, and made them more mainstream.
Tom Waits. Do one on Tom Waits. He's ALWAYS been there, even and especially when you didn't notice him.
He's standing behind you RIGHT NOW.
It must of been hard for her losing her co- band members like that.. im assuming she never got involved with drugs like they did. Or at the very least she could control her usage and keep it to a minimum. The other guys werent so fortunate and its tragic. Shes been through so much in her life. But "back on the train gang" is in my opinion her best work its a song you wish would never be over. The way she says oh ohhh ohh. Its sooooo beautiful!!
Chain gang
The first 6 albums of Simple Minds from 1979 to 1983 were absolutely brilliant and very unique. A great band indeed!
Not sure you have the time line of the death of the 2 members right. I believe they both died within a couple of days of each other
👍⭐️⭐️
Respect to the women of rock. I’m a big pretenders fan I heard some stories from my uncle about her giving the punks shit at CBGB she held her own in a rough crowd.
I would like to watch this video, but the tempo and editing is a little too nervous for me. 🙃
So sad two of the Pretenders passed away so young...
Also used to hang out with bikers when her BF was Sgt at Arms. Used to date the prez ex wife. Wonderful black ccokney woman. Who claimed she was in part the inspiration for brass in pocket.
Best lead of all time.
✌️✌️🧡🧡☺️☺️
Thanks for watching Caroline!
There were other all female acts in the UK at the same time as Chrissy was there and punk was at its most influential. Albeit, not many. The Slits and Polystyrene come to mind. I doubt Chrissy hung out with Nancy as no-one liked her.
One of my first crushes... ❤🥴
Yep. Her story was the best part of Pistol.
It TOTALLY was. Literally the only memorable character lol.
The "female" voices in rock I like the most are of the Ann Wilson/Chrissy Hynde/Karen Carpenter variety. Such a melancholy, sentimental quality that I find extremely attractive and dare I say--sexy!
You’re beautiful, you the rock church I hung around with in high school and the lovely lady I listen to music with because she and her husband o n d he local cool record store.
😆
I lovw you i love the subject, but the speed in which you chat has left me exhausted and not rememebering any substance. Your audience maybe bigger than you think. Good work and good luck!
It's not me it's you
Steve Jones created the Sex Pistols not Malcolm and Viv.
CH would oppose the feminist slant - not all that reet to her.
And don't forget along with Poly Styrene and Gay Advert, is a card carrying Hare Krishna
Back in the day, I hated female singers. Hated them and their naisily voices. Not so with Chrissie! She was the coolest and loved her voice!
too much talking. Chrissie has been my favorite
Blah, blah, blah
Amazing how people always talk about the bullshit sex pistols. I will never get that .
Way better docs on Chrissie than this dribbler. Good collection of pics....that's about it. Another youngin' obsessed with her concept and ideas of who Chrissie Hynde is.
😂 Thanks for the comment! I can see you are an expert. 😂😂 Have a great day!
