Loretta Lynn - The Pill (Reaction)

[@johnniekilgore9413]

A brooder house is where hens set on their nest of eggs till they hatch. Loretta was referring to her house as a broader house because she was having babies every year till she got The Pill.

[@AmandaPaige71]

Loretta gave zero fvcks about the radio stations not playing some of her songs. She kept making her music her way. The industry finally came around when her fans bought her records anyway. A true legend!! And she will be missed. RIP QUEEN 👑

[@Filterlessthts]

She was married at 13 to her husband who was 6 years her senior.,She had 4 kids by the age of 20 and 6 altogether. Her husband was also notorious for being unfaithful. Damn right she wrote a song celebrating birth control pills when they came out.

[@venuspoe954]

The pill had just become legal when she wrote this song.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Released in 1975, radio stations refused to play the song. The is a lot to Loretta writing this song. The Opry threatened to ban the song. Loretta told them, you ban this song and I’ll quit.

[@jennastorr4832]

You should do “Don’t come home a-drinking with loving on you mind”

[@ednafenton7558]

She's not going out on her man. She's going out with him & coming home to have fun. Lol. Loretta never cheated on her husband, cussed or dressed like she was singing in this song. In concert she wore beautiful gowns. You should listen to the song, Coal Miners Daughter" & watch the movie of the same name. It's about her life. Miss Loretta knows how to write a great song. She was also best friends with Patsy Cline. Loretta also made some great duets with Conway Twitty. My favorite is " Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man".

[@lightatthecape2009]

Brooder house is where eggs were kept warm for hatching. The pill hit the market in 1961.

[@reneebush2399]

I know the main qualms radio and tv had with this song at the time was the line “the feeling good comes easy now, because I got the pill” and the quiver she made when she sang “tonight’s too good to be real”. They didn’t like how she was insinuating an orgasm & women enjoying sex. Loretta Lynn was a mother by 14 and a Grandmother before she turned 29. She knew that girls were going to figure out stuff like that anyway. So she didnt care that they were giving her shit for supposedly “ruining virginity in our young women” and supposedly “promoting abortion” (since the BC causing abortion mess was commonly thought at the time).

[@kimking6036]

Women didn't have any way to keep from getting pregnant back then. No regular radio station would play this songs. A few of her other songs were not played. either. She married a man after he got out of the service. She was only 13. She started having babies right away. 6 in total and there's a set of twins. She still records at her own studio

[@debrasmith6423]

Hot pants were daisy dukes .Super short and tight. James Brown did a tribute to them Hot Pants pt 1 and 2..it's so badass!

[@reneebush2399]

Another great reaction guys! As for your question about “brooder house”, it’s what you call the Hen pen when the Hen’s are incubating (aka brooding) eggs. You’ll sometimes hear Prince William jokingly tell Kate to “stop brooding” when she holds other peoples babies at their events because it’s an old slang term for wanting another baby.

[@d.t.r.8036]

She's got a song called "One's on the way" And hot pants were not just tight,, but my understanding is that they were also really short shorts...a mid-70s And birth control has not always been available to women....part of the controversy for why they wouldn't play this on the radio is because *gasp* it was a woman talking about her own ability to have sex for something not involving procreation. ---- She married her cheating husband when she was just 13...and she did confront one of the women he cheated with, and went at her, going for the woman's hair. The woman was the school bus driver for her kids ... and Loretta found out about them because her daughter came home one day and told her that the bus driver said she'd gone on a date with her daddy. But Fist City is said to have been written about another woman...

[@tommccan1866]

A brooder house is a chicken Coop that is heated for baby chickens. you should try Loretta Lynn “you ain’t woman enough.”

[@lizturner267]

This was so controversial at the time, the pill was just legalized and this song was a scandal, radio, especially country radio refused to play it. Loretta lived everyone of her songs truly. Ps, a brooder is a hen on her nest.

[@rachelginter3616]

Would love to see you guy's react to Loretta Lynn's ( Your Squaw Is On The Warpath Tonight )

[@lindatyler6396]

a brooder house is where chickens lay their eggs and raise them

[@Looneyintheboonies]

Here's a real life example of what she's singing about. I was born in '63, my sister was born in '65 a year and a half later, and a year later my brother was born in '66. Then birth control pills were put on the market, much to my mother's joy, and the next brother didn't come along til the 70s, and probably cause she couldn't get her prescription filled. She married dad when she was 15 and he was 21, and 3 of us were born by the time she was 19. This was completely normal back then. My mother had 5 sisters, all married in their teens. A teenager was a hell of a lot more mature back then than they are now, light years in difference. They knew how to run a household. But anyhow, women were kept "barefoot and pregnant" as the saying goes, until the pill came along and gave them some freedom. And no, they certainly couldn't have imagined using the barbaric "day after pill" back then. Culture had to change a lot for people to accept something so brutal, and it IS brutal, both for the woman and unborn fetus. That, and other forms of birth control wouldn't come along until many years later after this song was out.

[@noellelandis6337]

How is the morning after pill “barbaric” when it does the same thing as regular birth control pills? It’s quite literally just a larger dose of the same thing. It prevents ovulation. That’s why it’s not as effective - it only works if you haven’t already ovulated, which regular bc prevents completely. I’m interested in what you thought the morning after pill does and where you heard that, though. Unless you meant in that it can cause cramping in some people? I’ve never experienced that, though.

[@noellelandis6337]

Wait - I think you might be confusing plan b/the morning after pill with abortion pills. Those are not the same thing.

[@rachelsullivan2926]

Not only did she have all those kids, but she was also the one bringing in the money. Her husband even took credit for her songs, referring to them as if he wrote and sang them. The only work he did was working other women when she was earning a living.

[@michaelfarmer966]

LORETTA SAID he was her rock, believed in her more than anyone else... including HERSELF, told her he didn't mind what she wrote about him (good or bad, as long as it was the truth), got her gigs and managed her career until she rose to a certain height that required a professional manager, ran the ranch, and raised Peggy and Patsy, even participated in her shows when she sang Lyin', Cheatin', Woman Chasin', Honky Tonkin', Whiskey Drinkin' You. She also said his faults provided her with a lot of inspiration for songs. At the same time, although they had a very far from perfect marriage, they really did love each other. She sang in I Can't Hear The Music "God knows he wasn't perfect, but then again, who is?". Of course he deserves credit for her songs, too...she made millions of dollars off using his antics. Let's not forget, she was only supposed to work for a couple of years (just long enough to buy a house and get ahead). Neither of them knew it would take that long. Then, once she started making it big, SHE finally felt confident enough and wanted to keep working. Mooney had his faults, but he was big hearted, loved her, and pushed her to reach the potential she had that she couldn't see inside herself. So, yes, he deserves a lot of credit for her success.

[@laupstad]

@@michaelfarmer966 "Let's not forget, she was only supposed to work for a couple of years (just long enough to buy a house and get ahead)." Nobody needed to work for a damn thing back then. They just surfed on top of a high wave we're all paying for now and they were handed everything on a silver platter. Average house prices were the same as a single years average salary back then. Anyone would lucky to find a small apartment for less than 10 years average salary these days and you'll be lucky to even pay off enough of that before the next artificially created "economic crisis", which is what those same greedy bankers who lent you that money calls it, comes around and takes the house and all your payments with it within those 10 years leaving you homeless with a mountain of debt. Inheritance is the only way young people get a chance to buy a place of their own and chances are Gen-X wasted their boomer inheritance on the yuppie lifestyle in the 80's anyway so there's nothing left for them. I'm not even part of the younger generation and it's still annoying how people assume things are better now. Loretta was a revolution in music, but she was very much a victim of her time as well. Mooney only deserves a smidgeon of credit for doing what he did AT THE TIME. He's no hero today. Just another one of the "Mad Men".

[@LM-hb6yn]

​​@@michaelfarmer966Well said. He was the one who encouraged her to sing in the first place. If it wasn't for him, she'd have never become a country music singer. He loved her but it's hard for a man to play second fiddle to a highly successful wife. He drank and fooled around to cope with how that made him feel. I think she knew that and that's why she gave him a pass.

[@theresaschmidt1183]

He raised the kids while she was on the road.

Guys...you think you heard all of Loretta's shocking lyrics and content?

You'll flip out.

At the end of the song she is basically saying she's about to go out playing around, nut don't worry, she's on the Pill.

No, she specifically says it's roosting time... she's keeping her husband home and isn't worried about getting pregnant since she's got birth control.

Hot pants were like fancy Daisy Duke shorts.

[@micheled6111]

Brooder House, Farm boys, it’s a chicken coop for getting a rooster to party then they set there till they pop out the eggs and stay sitting on them. Yes hot pants s are short shorts like Nancy Sinatra wore in These boots are made for walking video.
