...vegetarian since 1969--is an activist for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Faster than you can say publicity nightmare, Hynde and PETA went on the offensive, staging protests outside Gap stores in Chicago, Washington and New York City, where Hynde was arrested last Thursday for criminal mischief. Specifically, PETA objects to the Gap's use of leather from India and China, where, they say, slaughterhouse-bound cows are often brutalized. "I don't want anyone to think that they can't come to a Pretenders show wearing cowboy boots," says Hynde. "I'm just saying...

This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration...
...eighth grade band. Ten of us, all guys except for the bells player, (but bells aren't really percussion, anyway, so we didn't count her either) would take up our station at the back of the gigantic band room where we were stragetically positioned for fraternizing and making mischief. The band teacher, enraged, literally turned scarlet as we tried our best to sabotage the rehearsals. Some days, we would intentionally play off beat; others we would go on strike and refuse to play.
