Chrissie Hynde is known for her increasing concern and activism for vegetarianism, animal rights, and environmental issues. In a recent interview she is also noted for the more or less outspoken message of spirituality in many of her songs. On “Boots of chinese plastic”:
CH: It’s very, very literal. I did quite a lot of press for that album, and you know, nobody ever once asked me about that song, and I thought that was really kind of far out – chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, talking about Jesus Christ. Certain things you have to keep a veil on, and I thought maybe I didn’t on that song. But I seem to have got away with it.

Q: Maybe the reason people missed the message is that it’s a great rock and roll song and has that cool Bo Diddley beat – so maybe people got into that groove but didn’t pay attention to the words.
CH: Well, that’s good.
Q: Is it?
CH: Sure. If they’re still chanting Hare Krishna. If the're still thinking about Jesus Christ.
