I wanted to be Chrissie Hynde when I was in high school.
I did then and I still do!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

And more:
Scandal, The Warrior - Flashback: The year is 1983 (or 84?) and young freshman (or sophomore?) Glamcookie really wants to be a cheerleader. She is practicing her routine to The Warrior in the backyard. Alas, cheerleading was not meant to be. Bang bang, motherfucker!
It was weird that Patti Smythe later went on to marry Richard Hell and have a kid with him.
Maybe Richard Hell was confused and thought he was marrying Patti Smith....
(It's one of my pet peeves when people confuse the two, as I don't like Smythe.)

Is that more or less weird than Patti Smith dating a guy from Blue Öyster Cult, and co-writing a song for them?
According to Wikipedia, she only dated Richard Hell, she didn't marry him.
She's currently married to John McEnroe.

That's the Patti Smythe entry. The Hell entry disagrees (or rather, validates me!):
Hell was married to Scandal's Patty Smyth for two years, 1985–86, and they have a daughter, Ruby. Hell married Sheelagh Bevan in 2002 and lives with her in the East Village, New York City.
That's like finding out that Aragorn used to be married to Xene Cervenka.
