DE FROSTING HYNDE
In regard to Deborah Frost’s unwarranted attack on Chrissie Hynde (CREEM, April ’87), and her accusation that Ms. Hynde “may help set the women’s movement back another hundred years,” I must say, I was appalled at Ms. Frost’s short-sightedness.
Although Ms. Hynde says she’s “not interested in feminism” because she’s never had a problem being a woman, surely actions speak louder than words, and what Chrissie Hynde has accomplished speaks for itself. Whether she did so intentionally or not, and whether Ms. Frost realizes it or not, Chrissie has in fact made strides for women in rock. In 1979, when it was not so popular or acceptable for a woman to do so, she took charge of a band, as organizer and leader, guitarist, singer and songwriter (and hers were aggressive and unique songs, both lyrically and musically, causing yet another stir and awakening). And she’s never been afraid to advocate her convictions and beliefs, both in her songsj and in the press, regardless of what any-, one thinks. This lady speaks her mind!!
