Chrissie Hynde, for those who don't know, leads the band "The Pretenders". Her song "My City was Gone" is the theme for Rush Limbaugh's radio show.

Amazing how age sometimes brings wisdom, eh?

Better late than never. Loved their 80’s music.

Lots more info about how Rush selected the song at Origins of the EIB Theme Song.

There’s a fundamental distinct, in my mind, between actions that are unwise and actions that are criminal.

Getting drunk and dressing provocatively may be unwise, but it is not criminal.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well it may be unwise to walk around scantily clad and drunk. I’d go as far to say that its unwise to walk around modestly clad and drunk. But its not kidnapping and felony sexual assault. Now that’s a crime. The people at fault in Chrissie’s abduction and rape are the perps.

[Snickering Hound]

In Londonistan? Yep.

[paintriot]

I always thought she looked too much like Alice Cooper to be attractive.

[hemogoblin]

After poor Hannah Graham was abducted last year in Charlottesville, Va., and later found dead, this was something everyone seemed afraid to say.

She was staggering drunk, lost, alone, and dressed like a hooker in a pretty busy university town at 3 a.m. She could not have been doing more to attract assault and death if she had been actively trying.

But of course I'm just a paternalistic sexist.

[Rummyfan]

Always liked Chrissie's music and some of her past statements led me to believe she was a bit of a libertarian. But this... I don't know what to think.Watching the Clothes Go Round is one of my favorites.

[Tax-chick]

Most of the women I see dressed immodestly just look ugly and slovenly to me. Of course, there’s no accounting for men ... maybe short-shorts and a ripped tank top on a 250 lb. tattooed female is just the ticket.

[Hostage]

Yes, it is amazing but not so surprising. So many others finally grew up as well; Bob Dylan, John Lennon (was finally coming around), Eric Clapton, The Beach Boys, Johnny Ramone, Alice Cooper, Prince, Gloria Estefan, Gene Simmons, Meat Loaf, Dave Mustaine, Michale Graves, Neil Peart, Steve Tyler, Joe Perry, and on and on and on ......

Women who walk around drunk and provocatively dressed should expect to be sexually assaulted

As protean courtship devices go, that's an unbeatable combination for attracting the wrong kind of courtship.

I know that combo has always caught my attention, but now I also better recognize a double-edged threat when I see one.

Not sure why, but almost all of my life's most memorable lessons are filed under: "Seemed like a good idea at the time..."

[OttawaFreeper]

While I do not have a problem with Hynde’s comments, I can remember back some 18 years up here in Canada, the big issue feminists had up here was the right to walk in public topless. They thought that an indecency law that was struck down around that time, thereby permitting this sort of thing was a great victory. Often, feminist logic does not compute and this was a good case in point.

[Leep]

They say rape is a crime of opportunity. So, walking around at 3am alone drunk almost certainly increasing one’s odd of getting assulted in any number of ways.

[jjotto]

Chrissie Hynde? Doesn’t Facebook auto tag her recent photos as Mick Jagger?

[Politicalkiddo]

“Provocative” dress is a matter of perspective, no? Besides, rapists will probably rape anyone they can get—be they nun or hooker. I don’t think that rapists should get off the hook for something so serious as sexual assault because they can’t deal with seeing a woman’s skin. That’s like punching someone in the face for saying something “provocative”. A person can say something stupid or offensive, but that doesn’t give you the right to pummel them into the ground because you don’t like what they said.

[Recompennation]

Respct yourself..

Her song "My City was Gone" is the theme for Rush Limbaugh's radio show

Rush used to credit her for the song now and then and would always say, "She's the kind of woman from whom you know you would catch a social disease...but you'd do it anyway!"

[IronJack]

When women defend their right to dress like sluts but not be treated like them, I always ask them this: If you WERE trying to entice some random man to pick you up and boff you, how would you dress?

[SamAdams76]

What I don't like about Hynde's statements is that it implies that men do not have self-control and thus will be tempted to rape a woman who happens to be scantily clad or dressed provocatively.

As a man, I reject that line of thinking. A rape is a crime, no matter how modestly or immodestly a woman is dressed. Also, I do not believe that rapists make any distinction with regard to how a woman is dressed.
