[history]
A chicken protest led by the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde turned into a near riot over the weekend when angry diners attacked her for ruining their meals.
The rocker joined a dozen animal activists in a protest raid on a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) fast food restaurant in Seattle, Wash.

Am I only one that thinks it a bit strange that Rush uses her group's music (instrumental for "Back To Ohio") as his theme music?
To: MikalM
You have to laugh. Hate people and love animals.

I want to start People For the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables (PETV)
Why?
So that PETA members will starve.

I was hoping he would drop her after Drudge ran the story about her comments that she hoped Iraq wins.

At the demonstration -- just hours before the last show of her American tour to promote the Pretenders' latest album, Loose Screw Aptly named. Chrissie, you have a screw loose.

The reality of life is that these creatures are food. However, I do agree that chickens are created with exceptional cruelty.
I would like to see improved methods of slaughter, etc. where the creatures we depend upon for food are treated as humanely as possible. I have seen trucks laden with chickens on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where half the chickens appear dead already from suffocation. And this presents a health hazard to humans because these dead chickens are probably not tossed out, but used for human consumption.
But it certainly does no good to attack the folks at a KFC who are simply trying to have dinner.

Ah, but it drives her crazy. As Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing".
To: Greg Luzinski
I understand that she hates that. Rush once told a story about her coming unhinged at a concert over it. They had just started playing the opening notes to "My City Was Gone". The audience started chanting "Rush! Rush! Rush!" when she lost it and almost stormed out of the concert.

If she continues this idiotic crap Rush might start to reconsider.
I used to be a fan of The Pretenders, but I am appreciating and understanding the name more and more by watching her shenanigans.
"Give us what we deserve"was the breaking point for me.
I'd like to see the other mambers of this band that I once respected take a stand.
"For or Against" this Hynde idiot.

No...it has been commented on a lot recently with Chrissie Hynde in the news. Lots of discussion. The song is called My City was Gone These are the lyrics you never hear on the Rush bumper....
MY CITY WAS GONE
I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
A, O, way to go Ohio
Well I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, O, oh way to go Ohio
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga falls
Said, A, O, oh way to go Ohio

What do you think is a better use of people's time, to protest how chickens are treated or how people are treated in places like Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, China, Vietnam, etc.?

What? and waste a perfectly good spoon of mashed potatos, anyway, I hope they were flipping something else at her! She must look like a real skank for someone to tell her to get a job!

I think Rush using her music is part of what is driving her bonkers. hehehehe
And I can't speak from experience, but I'm betting Loose Screw is quite apt.

Chrissie Hynde-end wants this country to be defeated by terrorists but worries about chickens. I can't post what I am thinking.
To: MikalM
If I was the manager, I would have pelted them with raw chicken and livers.
