Co za muza, ktora wywyoluje niesamowite wspomnienia. W 94 mieszkalam w NYC , mialam 20 lat i pamietam jak zachwycalam sie ta piosenka. Jakis czas pozniej moj szef , zupelnie przypadkowo, powiedzial mi, ze wygladam jak Chrissie Hynde. Ja tego podobienstwa zupelnie nie widzialam. Dopiero w wieku 30 lat jak scielam tak wlosy jak ona, zobaczylam, ze wygladam identycznie. Ta piosenka dziala na mnie niesamowicie.

By: lacuadra70. on 27 Nov 08, 18:47:52
You can enjoy all the sounds that came during the late 70s and 80s. It was revolutionary and video added to the sound. You can see that this viedo is very primitive, but that was before of MTV Now the videos are sleek but the music scene has been taken hostage by the urban sound. Need more variety.

The lead singer Mary Beth, looks like and sounds like Chrissie. Its scary. Thats 60 mile drive from Manhattan (90 mns). The Police band , Invisible Sun are also playing that same night.

By: azy63. on 11 Nov 08, 18:13:35
My favourite CH memory was when she made a guest appearance on "Friends." Phoebe asked her "How many chords do YOU know?" Hynde incredulously replied "...All of them." At the end of that same episode there's a scene of Phoebe teaching Chrissie how to play "Smelly Cat."

By: kizayou. on 30 Nov 08, 23:19:02
This song was originally going to be a tribute to Ray Davies but was changed to a dedication to James Honeyman-Scott. Both were intrinsically involved with the pretenders. This being so, I don't know why the pretenders would be paying anyone who made a cover of a pretender's song. Seemingly it would be vice versa.

Selena was shot and killed at the Days Inn Motel in her hometown of Corpus Chrisit, Texas by the president of her fan club Yolanda Saldivar. Selena fired her for stealing money. Selena was shot on her back. Selena Y Los Dinos had their own version of this song called "FOTOS Y RECUERDOS". Pretenders are still paying the Quintanilla family.

By: jaystarstar. on 16 Nov 08, 05:42:33
BOTCG was mainly about the death of James Honeyman-Scott -- Pete Farndon did not die until the summer after the song was released (1982). Chrissie Hynde also did not break up with Ray Davies until the next year (1983). I always thought it was at least somewhat about John Lennon, too -- not that CH knew him personally, but to what he meant to everyone of her approximate age.

By: themiraclegiraffe. on 27 Nov 08, 03:10:16
Well, that depends on what you chose to focus on during the Christmas season. I mean, look around you, if you have a desire to see and hear about the Biblical Christmas story at Christmas time, I don't see how you can't see there's a push to rub it out of public view. Hey, just don't be the one who is asleep at the wheel when little by little, traditions like perhaps you grew up with, such as Christmas, start disappearing.

If you want your music to stand the test of time, write a Christmas song. (A good one, though!) It will be heard at least once a year, at least until the libs ban Christmas. Coldplay is way over-rated. Their records should come with a prescription of Prozac, they are so depressing.

I'm not going to continue this discussion, I rushed into writing and I did't measure what I wrote. Sorry all americans. The sad thing is that people start complaining about something that's is whole hearted offered free for them to enjoy. What's the problem of putting subtitles? YES THEY HELP PEOPLE TO SING ALONG, speaking english or not. SO STOP COMPLAING AND WHINING AND ENJOY THE MUSIC, which is meant to make people come together and enjoy their universal language.

Still tho, I've seen a couple cardinal reds that fade into a pretty similar shade, maybe not quite as dramatically. I mean, a nitro finish is a nitro finish, Fender or Gibson. Any that are gigged or played to any considerable extent will fade for the first few decades. Maybe he had it refinished and it turned out funky. Either way, my vote goes to a way aged Cardinal Red.

By: lostlanguage. on 11 Oct 08, 17:47:26
That's never faded Cardinal red! It's just TOO pink. I've seen quite a few Gibson Firebird/SG Cardinal reds from the 1960s but none anywhere near like this one - they don't fade as dramatically as Fenders. This guitar is in the fairground video of "KID" as well and you can see it's a real all over vivid pink.

It's a Gibson ...
By: orion275. on 10 Oct 08, 08:58:44
It's a Gibson non-reverse Firebird in the "Cardinal Red" finish option (1965/'66-ish). Basically the guitar started out as a really bright fire engine type of red and as it aged it subdued into that pink kind of color. Whatever happened to that particular guitar I have no idea, I'd imagine one of Jimmy's family members has it.

I'm sure someone ...
By: erksometwo. on 06 Oct 08, 18:27:10
I'm sure someone must know this - What happened to the beautiful pink guitar that James Honeyman-Scott is playing? I've never seen one like it before.

Eh - I was referring to when this session was filmed.....which is debatable really and there's no solid evidence out there as to the exact date - maybe someone can come up with better facts than this. But I distinctly remember that they played NYC in and around about 1997-8 and taped these sessions which were later released as CD and subsequently the DVD. I also remember hearing it for the first time on the radio and was TOTALLY blown away by the sound and the tightness of the gig.
