OooKaaa thar Pard! I did NOT know thatin' wuz on the FlipperSide..'Preciate ya a'bringin' it ta my attention. Annnnn, I luvs the way ya gets it centered to play thar---My ole' Pioneer had the Big Plastic stand up thangy, buts I had the lil' plastic inserts too---{'course I wuz always a'loosin' 'em}...aah-'Those wuz the Days'----thanx agin--------=))
Used to set my clock radio to get up for high school in the morning. This track was the one that came on and roused me out of sleep so many times. We all look for patterns in life, and it was pretty freaky and cool that this beautiful, reflective song--which I adored--was the one to start my day so many mornings. Then I'd skip school and ponder my place in the universe.
You don't tell the whole story. At first she did not care until Limbaugh made a remark she did not like. However she agreed that if Limbaugh would donate to PETA which he agreed to do that he could use the song. Tell the whole story please.
That's not QUITE the whole story either. Rush pointed out publicly that he thought it was funny that he was using a liberal song (and the lyrics of the song are pretty much Reagan bashing agitprop) on his show. This, of course, pissed Crissy Hynde off, so she said he could use the song if all of the royalties went to PETA.
So now everytime Rush Limbaugh plays this song, a militant animal rights group gets a check from him. I have no idea whether he still plays the song.
is vinyl valuable?I have boxes starting with Beach Boys, ELO is how my record collection started but I had 3 older bros and my sister was the oldest and many exellent albums from BEATLES ABBY Road to Norman Greenbaum,I'm starting to ramble...lol
so CLEAR, bright, smooth sounding-JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT VINYL RECORDS SOUND BETTER THAN CRAPPY OL' COMPACT DISCS(..OR IPODS) ANY DAY!!!!!-is it any wonder records are coming back, slowly but shortly? ; ) =) I'll be buying me first turntable very soon-I've already started me record collection ;D great stuff there! Pretenders are awesome, saw em' live in Philly early Feb 09! :D
que buena cancion carajo!!! me trae tantos buenos recuerdos de los grandes amigos y amigas...aquellas epocas en donde todo parecia tan facil...saludos desde Brasil...aunque el que escribe es un peruano...Very nice song!! I remenber a lot of great times with the friends!! the time when everything looks like easily..greeting from Brasil..but the person who is writing is peruvian!
No it's not a "regional theme" (whatever that is). Whatever company Rush L. works for bought the rights, however many years ago, from whatever company ultimately controls the rights to this tune. I don't know what Chrissy Hynde's politics are, but I doubt she personally had anything to do with it.
Nope. Hynde has a company in her name called "Hynde's house of hits"
Her manager does most of the work but, the record company has some control, she ultimately controls where most her songs go. She's been doing it since Pretenders I
There is a weekday radio talk program that originates out of West Palm Beach around noon that uses this as the theme song. It is the most widely listened to program on the air nationwide.
It feels like something of an anachronism to be watching a manually set 45 play a tune I recall from fairly early in MTV's history. I always liked Chrissy's CHAIN GANG and her MIDDLE OF THE ROAD best. I don't know the B Side (My City Was Gone) as an instrumental or a vocal. Maybe it's a regional radio theme?

Is that a 45 record ? Did this come out in 70s- or 80s or the 90s? This song rocks!

"My City Was Gone" was played alot on the rock stations when it came out. It was on the radio alot before RL (who I can't stand) stole it.
I also have it posted. I had "Back On The Chain Gang" posted too, but it got blocked by WMG.

Chrissie Hynde's politics are the opposite of Rush Limbaugh's. She was NOT happy about him using "My City Was Gone" and took him to court over it.
