An open Letter to Donald Trump, President of the United States
Dear Mr. President,
I often think of how much my father, Melville “Bud” Hynde, who proudly served his country as a Marine on Guadalcanal, would have enjoyed your Presidency. The other day when you gave that award to Rush Limbaugh, my father would have been so delighted. He loved listening to Rush, which is why I allowed my song, 'My City Was Gone', to be used on his radio show.
My father and I didn't always see eye-to-eye. We argued a lot, but isn’t that the American way? The right to disagree without having your head chopped off?
Soon, I will be participating in a protest in London against the extradition of Julian Assange. I know my father would be mortified, but I feel strongly enough to do what I believe is the right thing; to protest further punishment of a man who sought to defend Freedom, albeit in a way you rightly disagree with.
I know Mr. Assange broke the law (as i have done defending the treatment of animals) but I believe he has been duly punished and should now be set free.
Please consider my plea.
Yours truly,
Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders
And Kent did not go down the way the revisionist have painted it.
Spent many years on Water St
Yes, she ran with a very rough crowd.
Without looking it up, she coulda easily been born in the early sixties.
Likely early to mid 50s
I dont care for her politics put grew up with this music, she came on the scene in the late 70s
Her Brother Terry was around earlier
Well, no.
Children born through 1964 were considered boomers, I believe.
I know 1 WWII vet, he is 100 as of 7 months ago
It was a Loooong time ago
Maybe Chissy’s dad got a toe hold in his late 40s :)
Born in 1951.
I’d have a beer with Chrissy but I know she would accuse me of drinking the last one...
Thats why I stashed the Fireball.. missy
My dad was a serviceman in WWII and I’m almost a decade younger than her
Shes only 68
Ok, how’d it go down and what’s Water St,?
You support that?
She started out pretty, but became and stayed harsh looking.

welcome to the world of aging.
could you expand on this a bit?
Ms. Hynde, I don’t know what Assange did, but I do know we don’t have him. The UK does. And the UK is refusing to cough him up.
Tell it to the UK.
Gee how time flies. I recall back when MTV was a thing and had music videos, and her big hit was "Back on the chain gang", at what must have been the peak of her career.
Anyway glad to hear that she's doing well these days. She has been through some uh, unpleasant times from what I've read.
Chrissie’s a kook, but she’s the kind of kook that actually believes what she preaches and she’s not afraid to let the other side have their say. I respect her.
