  • Is this the greatest rock and roll song of all time? potentially

  • I love you crysie hynde

  • Love~

  • Rush4LIFE

  • OHIO Cmon Christy

  • As a former Los Angeles steelworker, I adore this song. We lost our town as well, for reasons having notthing to do with the fact that Chrissy remains the hottest female on two hind legs.

  • this vid reminds me of skullebrity

  • Comment removed

  • Flush Limpblob agreed to give the royalties to PETA because he knew if he ever met Chrissie face-to-face, she'd put her foot so far up his fat ass she could tie her shoe laces through his Nazi mouth.

  • Time to listen to Rush!!

  • Chrissie rocks as well as the rest of the band.I thought this is where people commented on music. Take the political shit to The Rush Limbaugh Show

  • Even a loser like Rush knows great music when he hears it!

  • The title of this song is "Ohio," not my city was gone or whatever.

  • @MrRonnieG

    Get back under your bridge, the billy goats gruff are coming!

    

  • @LimbicGeist you don't know that he is trolling, he could just be stupid...

  • Keep frikkin politics out of music/songs. let's just ENJOY the songs we like, ok?!?!

  • The only thing more painfully irritating that this band is your guys retarded mouth garbage! Your all idiots for failing to make ANY sense or real argument. "I'm smart and your dumb huhuhu derp derp." Great point

  • Why is there a political discussion on a music video. I get it's an intro song. Take your shit somewhere else please.

  • ☼ SOLAR ♫ LOVE ♥ Liberty ∞

  • Fuuck Rush Pigbaugh!

    

  • So, guess what? Rush is cool, this song is cool, so if you have a problem with one or the other, get over yourself! Life is too short to be so bent-out-of shape-critical!

  • They should make this song the official anthem of Detroit.

  • Thumbs up if you came here for the music and not some guy's talk show.

  • i looked at Akron on google earth and lets just say it had been paved through the middle by a government that had no pride ;)

  • AKRON!!!

  • Rush Limbaugh!

  • @djboyd From a 1999 Rolling Stone article quoting a memo from Chrissie Hynde to PETA: "I have decided to allow him to keep my song, 'My City Was Gone,' as his signature tune and to donate all proceeds from the deal to further PETA's efforts in that regard." I may be a whacko libtard, but I'm a reality-based whacko libtard.

  • I love The Pretenders and I'm a member of PETA...People Eating Tasty Animals!

  • love Chrissie. She's smart and full of a serious kind of class.

  • Wow, Chrissy never seems to age. She looked the same in 1998 as she did in 1980. Not only that, but she still looks the same today as she did in 1980.

    Let's hear it for Rush and Rash and Rand and Raves

  • happy 60th birthday chrissie,loved you in the late 70's,love you still in 2011.you rock!!!!

  • Rush taking on the liberal media with one hand tied behind his back........and KICKING ASS!!!!

    PS, He is number one of all time!!

    PSS, thesmarq, when you move out of mommys basement try a shower and a job!

  • @Swineswallow1 ....AMEN....

    

  • People can't stop arguing and just let one another exist for six minutes and thirteen seconds? What the fuck? I'll be outside, kissing my truck.

  • Akron, home of Goodyear, Firestone, and Doctor Bob.

  • She's one of the hottest 60 year old women I can think of!... Kudos to Rush! Just spreading the wealth. It's like republicans,democrats,tea party people,peta. They all have crack pots hanging out amongst them. I'd donate to peta if I could get even just a correspondence with this very SMOKING HOT 60 year old BABE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!

  • Happy 60th Birthday, Chrissie! Keep rockin!

  • YaY PETA and Chrissie

  • Yo Smarq17 -

    Rush has mde Chrissie Hines more $ than She Ever could have expected with this tune - from Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls.

    Dr. Shalit

  • The pretenders Rock, never mind the useless retort.

  • The joke's on Rush; she only let him use the song if he agreed to donate royalties to PETA. Every time you dittoheads hear that intro, it's money in the bank for left-wing vegetarians like Chrissie Hynde.

  • @egnurevets haha, but i still love fresh MEAT

  • @egnurevets That's not true. Chrissy's parents are fans of Rush Limbaugh and when Chrissy found out that EMI refused permission she told them it was ok to use the song. EIB ( Rush) pays royalties to EMI. What EMI or Chrissy does with them are their business.

  • @djboyd1 Good post! ( You know how the whacko libtards are....lol)

  • @egnurevets It's not every time he plays the intro. He pays a set amount (I believe $1 Million) per year to use the song to give to PETA.

  • @egnurevets LOL you're an idiot.. He only uses 8 seconds of the song which by law....is completely legal. Typical liberal here folks, making up the facts as they go. Thank you Rush for introducing me to this song!

  • @egnurevets

    Completely false statement....(Typical lib...lol)

  • Rush rules!!

  • Rush Limbaugh is AWESOME! GREAT SONG AND GREAT SHOW!

    

  • Not even a drug-addicted, whore-mongering, loudmouthed, over-indulged whack job like Rush Limbaugh can ruin my love for this song and the Pretenders will always be one of my fave bands of all time. Chrissie Hynde can have my babies any day :)))

  • @TheSmarq17 dont be an idiot...

  • @TheSmarq17 It can't be said any better than that, and I was thinking exactly the same thing during the intro!~

  • @TheSmarq17 Jealous much? Rush Limbaugh FTW.

  • @TheSmarq17 Obama and most of your liberal pals are drug addicts as well. You don't know shit about Rush Limbaugh.

    Go kill yourself.

  • @williejenkins666 You dumbass, brown-nosing, ignorant limbaughfuck. I am a registered Republican and can't wait til Pres. Obama is voted out of office this upcoming year. but, I am also a self-thinking, intelligent, educated and informed person...limbaugh is for retards. Now go change your diaper, take a timeout and think about what you have demanded I commit against myself.

  • @TheSmarq17 I'll bet you listen to Alex Jones, don't you? Fucking idiot.

    You are all the same... Paulbots claiming such a massive intellect when you have little.

    Go whine elsewhere, Paultard. I am better than you and always will be.

  • @TheSmarq17 Yeah MAN! Like the Kennedy's! ROCK ON!

  • @TheSmarq17  give her some black dick she go numb

  • That's my girl. Sweeeeeet!

  • @whazzuphere You have a lot of balls for a person sitting behind a keyboard. I say we should settles this as noble gentlemen with a duel.

    P.S. I'm from Akron and I know exactly what she is talking about.

    P.P.S.Rush Limbaugh is the inbred, ridge-runner.

    P.P.P.S. Rush (the band) is awesome.

  • @whazzuphere - Mine is a .44 WalkerColt Replica, What is yours?

    Dr. Shalit

  • @mcnukem LoL ... Rush (the band) indeed is awesome. Thanks for adding that to your postscript and making me chuckle.

  • Fuck you Limbaugh loving closet queers and go listen to Randy Travis.

  • Alright since we're talking about Captain Rush, I am a conservative. However I know that Rush is just sitting down in FL being himself. He makes a few good points but can be a little egotistocial a sometimes, okay maybe a lot. It's just part of my day hearing what Rush has to say. Hell of a song too.

  • that city sucks

    

  • The song is called "Back to Ohio," not "My City Was Gone." What's wrong with you? (talking to the TV not the poster)

  • Comment removed

  • I heard Rush for the first time this morning so had to relive my Ohio experiences by watching this great video--spent five fabulous years in Cleveland-you go Chrissie and go Tribe!!

  • Hey all of you libs who hate Rush Limbaugh, where's the tolerance and compassion you're famous for? I don't see any in your hate-filled vitriol. Why do the most vocal proponents of free speech obnoxiously quash any speech they don't agree with?

  • @BryanDurio It's pretty apparent that you don't know what free speech means.

  • @claybecker13 Thank you. You make my point. And you obviously don't have a clue.

  • @BryanDurio What was your point? That you are ignorant? Freedom of speech is the government not prohibiting your speech. It is not you saying whatever you like and no one being allowed to disagree. Maybe you should spend less time listening to Rush Limbaugh and more time thinking for yourself, dummy.

  • @claybecker13 Wow. Such vitriol coming from a supposedly tolerant and compassionate liberal! You prove my point once again! You have serious anger management issues, friend. Better see your shrink about that. It's good, however, to see that someone else actually understands what the First Amendment really means.The thing is, why would you think I was referencing the Bill of Rights? Maybe I should have said "freedom of expression" to avoid any confusion.

  • @claybecker13 You are a typical lefty, though, resorting to spewing invective, name-calling, and personal attacks. You have a humongous chip on your shoulder and it's not worth my time to try to have an adult, intellectual, intelligent, rational conversation with someone as closed-minded and bitter as you, so I bid you farewell and good riddance.

  • @BryanDurio stop or you will deal with a real lefty

  • Lighten up Francis geeze, And most atheists start believing on there death bed...

  • @MrSHEDOSKY

    NO we do not, You simply cannot put that genie back in the bottle lol. Keep on thinking that if it makes you feel better but it's simply not true

  • The top comment should be marked spam from too many negative votes,my guess is it has got thumbs up from people that have left Ohio and can't come back because they aren't wanted like lebron. Ohio is a great place to live, always has been always will be, problems exist everywhere and they come and go, Ohio people are tough and aren't going to let Kasich ruin this great state.

  • Anyone wish that LeBron James would go back to Ohio?

  • Let's hear it for Akron? Well now I want nothing to do with this.

  • Chrissie is from the same place as Lebron!!!! lol

  • This is one cool bad-ass song! Love that guitar work. Too bad we don't hear much of this anymore. I believe its a lost skill.

  • @321harold So true. 

  • Yeah, I wish I wasnt stuck here.....MrLittleman606 (sounds apt) Ohio has been TOO pro business...that is why it smells like a sewer and everybody wants to shoot everybody

  • Who is the one assclown who voted this down. LMAO, are you a douchebag or what?

  • Great song.

    She rocks!!!!

    And shaddup already about about that carnival barker,

    drug smuggling, loud mouth, who took 4 college classes

    and flunked all 4 ,including gym class, according to his own mother.

    If that is where you get your information, then America has some serious problems with its gene pool LOL!!!!!!!!!!

  • Actually, Rush just spoke on his program yesterday about his reasons for choosing it.

    =====================

    So very sad. Don't listen to El Fathead, he'll rot your brain.

    ~

  • The first popular song about the effects of sprawl - and this was the early '80's

  • @fmschiav Actually, this was not the first popular song about the effects of sprawl. Tar and Cement was back in the mid-60's.

  • @daddybug101 Regarding "sprawl", how about Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" - "they paved paradise, put up a parking lot"

  • @lhcarter Yeah, sure did.....basterds like Kasich and Rhodes......

  • Fell in love with her in 1980 - remember the song "Brass In Pocket" and watching the video thinking "what lucky SOB is she stalking?" Great skill in that band, and unbelievable tragedy. And guts.

  • Its amazing how something like a tune, or a movie trailer can make the comments totally divert from the content of the actual video. Goldfish have longer attention spans than humans, but God bless us we're funny that way!

  • Where's Snerdley?>

  • 50 years from now, what rush limbaugh used on his program wont matter to chrissie hynde or anyone else on here.

  • Rush Limbaugh just lied on his friday show about the orgins of this riff that he uses as an intro on his show. He left out the whole part about how he was forced to donate to PETA by Chrissie Hynde in exchange for keeping the song! ROFL

  • @Dyakki thats an myth, stop getting your facts from wikipedia

  • @Dyakki

    Actually, what you said is incorrect. He accurately stated that he has to pay her an annual usage fee. As you stated, the fee is $100,000, and she donates it to PETA.

  • Actually, he didn't say that. He left that part out, but any money out of his pocket and in to better hands is a good thing.

  • NONONO! Fuck both of you and Limbaugh too.

  • That dude on that hollow body really rocked that one. Gotta love Chrissy Hynde.

  • this song flows man. bass line kills me... i wonder if its old enough to steal the bass line and none of these new music loving jokers will notice

  • Thanks Paul Krugman.

  • Long Live Rush Limbaugh! :->

  • Fantastic. They're so good live

  • meeting a new female singer for my band tomorrow night.After that initial meeting,and if she has what we need,guess what song i want to cover right away.Yes..I'm a bass player so is anyone surprised.Always loved this song and they sure kicked some ass right here.Rock on Chrissy!

  • Chrissie is so awesome. She is all about the music. That's why she can sing with her clothes on and still sell tickets.

  • A great song, Chrissie at her best.

  • O=h=I=O

    i LOVE Chrissie!

  • good vocals, some funky moves and an excellent song.. this is a great performance

  • One of my favorite songs! Love me some Pretenders!

  • To whoever wrote about Burack Obama...I do not think he knows The Pretenders. Also, he and Muchielle like just the songs that Rev. Wright plays on sundays during the service that SPREAD HATE ABOUT THE WHITE PEOPLE!

  • @tania547 obama might be aware of the pretenders because chrissie said she supported him and politicians jump on the rock star band wagon obama said he listent to rap thats why i voted for ralph nader you know that rap is nothing but kill the white people watch the movie the dak of the sun

  • I think Rush is very cool! Just because he has GREAT TASTE for music! This woman is UNBELIABLE and I LOVE HER TO DEATH! She is the greatest rocker on this planet! Along with Billy Idol!

  • @tania547 rush used the song because he thought it had a crubling cities theme to it he got in trouble with chrissie for copywrite infringement your right shes the best like the twilight zone episode where jack klugman wants to be the best at something so he plays this famous pool shark from history and wins

  • rush limpdick is a big fat ass fukwit

  • Go RUSH!!!!!!!

  • Everytime I hear this song, I change the channel really quick. lol

  • < cool person from Ohio

  • I guess some of you haven't met the COOL people there.

    

  • Gov. Kasich just guttted Ohio's unions and schools and children's hospitals today. Thank you, right wing! You sure know how to make love to the voters!!!

  • give me back my 351

  • Rush picked this song because he claimed it was written by a left-wing nut job. He was right and we lover her more for it!!  I love at almost 60 yo, CH still has the sass to tell them all to f*** off! She is the best.

  • @mapple432 I like when she sings...it when she talks that she pollutes the air....another mind numbed lib... lol

  • @camp168 Yes, poor little halfwit Hynde uttered the unfortunate string of syllables that went something like this: "I hope our guys LOSE in Iraq." Which basically means they would DIE. Speaking as a military man AND a Pretenders fan, I would like to serve her a TALL glass of STFU and tell her to just entertain us like we pay her to do like the circus animal she is.

  • @Deke101 Dude, the only reason we have wars is so mad idiots will join the millitary and go get killed fighting other mad idiots. So, nice troll, you got a response from me. Unfortunately for you I am a cannible troll so if you aren't scared feel free to come back and make a stupid reply to this comment, you dumb bitch.

  • @TheLifePerfect LOL! I couldn't possibly match the stupidity of your crybaby response. I bow to your illiterate trolling prowess.

  • @Deke101 Man, that reply kisses so much ass I won't have to wipe for the next week.

  • @TheLifePerfect You wipe???

  • @mapple432 Incorrect. Rush did NOT choose this because it was written by a left winger. He chose it simply for the sound of the guitar riff and the bass line. It was not until years after he was using it that the writer even became an issue.

  • @Deke101 Even if you don't like Rush's politics, he has great taste in music....he was a DJ for many years...

  • @lhcarter agred.

  • @Deke101

    Actually, Rush just spoke on his program yesterday about his reasons for choosing it. Apparently, his show was being broadcast to a traditional conservative crowd in Sacramento and he was told he needed a theme song. Rather than choosing something classical, as was suggested by his producers, he chose a song he figured his listeners would be unfamiliar with that, if they were to look up the lyrics, would ironically be against everything he stands for. Plus he liked the bass line :)

  • I think that some are missing the point of the song, but , Ohio has overflowed with hillhopper and ridgerunner rednecks that have helped kill our once beautiful state...and Kasich will kil the last living plant or animal cell.....way to go!!!

  • Obozo? Obama is a sight more the president of the middle class then was President Cheney! The mojoman...is clearly very uneducated and more importantly, living in 1959. Chrissie Rules!

  • "I went back to Ohio..." Well, that was your first mistake.

  • @whazzuphere and what shithole state are you from that you think makes you so oh fcking important ?

  • @doobysmokinlozer: I was born, raised, and lived in Ohio, until I was able to escape.

  • @whazzuphere You don't know nothin', likely coasty Libtard. Your pee probably still comes out yellow.

  • @greengringo2003 "You don't know nothin'" ??? Does that mean that I know everything? Sorry, I don't claim to, but thank you for the compliment. May I recommend that you try adult education classes so that you can learn to speak English in, at least, a semi-coherent manner? People such as you are what has made Ohio a laughingstock. I'm glad I don't live there anymore, mostly because of inbreds such as you.

  • @whazzuphere You never did live there, Lefty Coasty Libtard. 'fess up, weenus. You don't know crap either, or the difference between scat and dung, both of which strongly resemble your mother, you poopy-pants.

  • @greengringo2003 My, it certainly is challenging to respond to your intellectual level. I've never tried to communicate with an earthworm before. I did live in Ohio for quite a few years, until I was able to leave. Many Ohioans, such as I, gave up on that state and left after it was obvious that the hillbillies had taken over. Too bad.

  • @whazzuphere They put the rock and roll hall of fame in ohio because nobody wanted to put up the money in new york or LA

  • @spacepatrolman I believe it. Ohio has always been so starved for any kind of glory it is pathetic. They ought to build the Turd Hall of Fame there.

  • @whazzuphere alan freed was from ohio and he coined the phrase rock and roll so its not to far removed and chrissie is from there and art arfons jet car the green monster

  • @whazzuphere whats wrong with ohio D:

  • @MrLittleman606

    1. High taxes (they even have city income taxes, one for where you work; another for where you live).

    2. Declining populations in the cities, except Columbus.

    3. Rust-belt state, losing businesses.

    4. Poor leadership, anti-business climate.

    5. Lousy weather, too hot/humid or too cold/icy.

    I could go on, but instead I'll ask: What is so good about Ohio?

    BTW - I was born and raised there...glad to be gone from a declining state taken over by outside influences.

  • @whazzuphere don't forget you can now concealed carry in a bar in Ohio. Way to go, Ohio. Fcktards.

  • @whazzuphere speak for yourself. those who can, do..you obviously can't, so move along..cockroach

  • @plac69 Your statement makes no sense. I am speaking for myself. I obviously can't what? Put down the pipe, sober up, and come back when your normal I.Q. of 80 is available and I'll try to speak to you then.

  • @whazzuphere ...is that what you ask each day your head is up your ass? how could anything make sense?

    you obviously cant seem to get it out of there..thus the shitty comment. makes perfect sense!

  • @plac69 I will not waste any more of my valuable time responding to your ignorant, juvenile comments, boy. Anyone can see how idiotic you are by your stupid, mindless rantings. Run along, Skippy. I only talk with adults.

  • @whazzuphere fucker

  • @mcnukem You shouldn't talk to your mother that way...it's disrespectful, you inbred, ridge-runner.

  • Don't worry she's collecting royalties on all the AIRPLAY.

  • Chrissie thinks shes nena kerner

  • Yeah chrissy, akon, and cincinatti. I, from a northern hicktown called marysville. no dought its' gone too..... Correct me if I,m wrong.......Dutchdon47........­.

  • She gave the money to charity. That's not selling out, that's doing a good thing. Screw that hypocrite Rush Limbaugh, but Chrissy Hines did the right thing.

  • touche

  • Akronite sounding off

  • Cant you fuktards just watch the video?

  • I absolutey worship Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter, and Glenn Beck, and Mark Levin....and I'm a fan of Chrissie Hynde. So, for me, it's the best merger.

  • @blooperjohn

    I am so sorry.But no one is perfect.Wake up too do"h!

  • @blooperjohn

    You mean you dream of blowing Rush Limbaugh

  • Leave her alone about all the political nonsense, She's beautiful and has always made some great music as well the pretenders!

  • "Hynde did an about face and offered Limbaugh the use of her song in exchange for his donating of $100,000 to PETA. She later wrote to the organization saying, "In light of Rush Limbaugh's vocal support of PETA's campaign against the Environmental Protection Agency's foolish plan to test some 3,000 chemicals on animals, I have decided to allow him to keep my song,"

  • Chrissy SOLD OUT to Rush Limbaugh !! How can you sleep at night Hyndy Hole ?
