[edit] Re: Chrissie Hynde

Natalie Rae, CH's daughter with Ray Davies, is of course the subject of the song "Show Me," the concluding song on the Pretenders 1984 comeback album Learning to Crawl. This was the first album, of course, by the Pretenders' new line-up following the deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farnsworth. The song "Back on the Chain Gang" is a tribute to the two dead former members of the band. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.194.142.25 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 27 December 2006.

[edit] Rush Limbaugh fan?

Is there a source for this? I know her song is his opening music, but considering her anti-corporate, Pro-PETA stance, the thought of her shouting "mega-dittos, Rush!" seems very incongruous if not downright unlikely. 204.194.98.66 18:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guitar playing ability

I was looking for information on Chrissy's guitar playing talents. I remember an "allstar" band put together, possibly at a SuperBowl event, where Chrissy was selected for her guitar playing rather than singing, which shocked me. Does anyone have any insights into how her peers view those abilities? Is she one of the more talented female guitar players? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endy9 (talk • contribs) 07:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New restaurant

I just removed an addition to the article under the heading "Business ventures," talking about her new restaurant:

"In 2007 Hynde opened a vegetarian restaurant in Akron, Ohio called The Vegiterranean.[1] The restaurant serves a variety of vegetarian food from meat-free hamburgers to salads. The atmosphere is causal and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner."

I have a couple of problems with this: For one, I cannot find anything that says that the restaurant has actually opened. For another, saying that it serves "meatless hamburgers" and salads is rather, well... ho hum. Actually, I'm doubtful. Fusion food has a bit more to it than that. Perhaps we could write this in a tad more encyclopedic way and add it when we have a source that actually says that the restaurant is open. Otherwise, it's vapourware.

Hi... I live in Akron and have personally eaten at the place. Copy edit it however you like, I'm not a great writer but I can assure you the place is opened. It's on Furnace Street in Akron on the first floor of a new apartment complex. I believe it opened around November of 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.36.132 (talk) 20:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, this is the only source I could find... I thought there was an article in the Akron Beacon Journal too but I can't seem to locate it right now. http://www.groovyvegetarian.com/2007/11/14/vegiterranean-now-open/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.36.132 (talk) 20:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Nothing like being there to know what's what! Thanks for the info, and especially, the link that verifies that the restaurant is open. I've replaced the section with minor edits and added the above link. Sunray (talk) 15:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
