She’s taking a lot of stick for this on Twitter, which should be interesting, because Chrissie Hynde is not the sort to suffer fools.

They’re dressed like Hobbits! Great song that slipped through the cracks in my mind. I forgot she had been married. Thanks for posting this.

I feel the same way when I see someone in a new high end car. I should just pull out a gun and take it away from them. If you did not buy that fancy car I would not feel the need to take it from you.

OTOH, in the world we live now, just being alive is reason enough for some groups to rape others.

She is going to upset Trump talking like that.

Trump has Mylie Cyrus looped on his phone probably

Rape isn’t about sex, so how one dresses has nothing to do with the crime.

“Is it rape if they don’t say ‘no’?”

You mean like if you put your hand over their mouth?

Just curious?

Amazing how age sometimes brings wisdom, eh?

Let me know when that happens.

They sure are and men have done a lot of evil, but if she wants to regret doing drugs and going around with less clothes on, its her right to say it without being denounced, shamed and forced to apologize by the feministic PC police.

After this Curt Schilling suspension at ESPN recently, I’ve come to realize how free speech isn’t so free in the good ole USA, home of the Constitution, its Bill of Rights and the First Amendment.

I believe in a country where enraged religious folks can say ‘gay people will go to hell’ and enraged LGBTQ folks can say ‘the religious people are hypocrites and should go to hell’.

Anything less than that isn’t Constitutional Liberty.

Chrissy had some nasty stuff to say about El Rushbo since he got the rights to the theme song and she couldn’t stop him using it.

Maybe Rush can turn the other cheek and defend her from any critics that try to take her down.

I regret some things in my past including the way I dressed in front of girls, stared my lust at them or even words I used or actions I took. People might react negatively and ridicule if I laid out details like Chrissie Hynde did about her past.

But when it comes to the past, I think its good to do an inventory and admit to myself and others I was wrong.

Sharing it publicly and in detail, directly with women from my past may be crossing a line, but I’m not disturbed by her thinking at all.

In the end each one of us is responsible for our own actions with the rapists clearly responsible for theirs in this situation.

I’m a drunk who lusted after women and I am responsible for my past actions. I think Chrissie Hynde should have the space to do the same thing from her perspective.

Isn’t that a bit like blaming the gun for killing people? Hey I don’t disagree that there are women that dress very, shall we say provocatively, but historically this is nothing new. Shall we say something equally profound like, “Children shouldn’t be so childlike, because they might entice pedophiles. Sounds like fortune cookie wisdom to me.

A... l’m am a Pretender fan

B... I listen to Rush all the time ...for years

C... I’ve heard Rush talk about his theme song being the Pretender song several times.. including the time the left try to have Hines put the rights for Rush to use it.. and Hines replied that while she might not agree with Rush but he sounded like something her her grandparents would listen to so she had no problem with him...

D... I’ve never heard it make anything close to that statement about Chrissy Hines being the kind of woman that would have a social disease and you do anyway... Rush has never made any derogatory statements about Chrissy Hines and the fact has somewhat grateful to her for not ever hastling him about him using the Pretender song.. its been quite live and let live on the whole issue

E... by the way the song title “My City is Gone” (I just called the “Ohio” song cuz that’s one of the main lyrics in it) was one of my favorites before Rush started using it it’s actually very melancholy

F... And Chrissy Hines was always very sexy and hot she had that biker chicken vibe that I used to like in my younger days

I think what she is saying has a lot of wisdom.

Think about what would happen to someone walking down the streets of Harlem at 2:00 am...wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Yeah, the attackers would be guilty a crime, but the victim is guilty of being tremendously stupid.

I am reminded of a comedy skit...some old movie...”The Groove Tube” or “Kentucky Fried Movie”, I think....some daredevil goes right into the middle of a bunch of black guys in the hood and yells out “N******!!!” Then takes off running....

Anyway, this isn’t to make light of sexual assault. But I think Hynde has a point.

I remember a few years ago some woman cried assault when she (supposedly) went up to Kobe Bryant’s hotel room. Alone. Maybe he assaulted her, maybe he didn’t. She still did something really really really wrong.

I can’t; it is something you have to experience for yourself. :)
