[@sharajackson2129]

Suppressed Aussie journalist threatened by a front woman goddess who was out there!

[@ouripad3842]

RIP gorgeous woman 🙏 One of Australias best rockers 🤘 Love her 💖

[@johnvican9598]

The Best Front Women I've seen, she owned the stage and I Thank her Immensely for playing in my home town numerous times as we grew up in the 80,s and making my life so much more enjoyable. I bought every album , such an Intelligent beautiful talented person, RIP Beautiful Lady.

Chrissy could have verbally shredded this interviewer any time she wanted to,he had no leverage on this sweet little church choir rock and roll hall. She outclassed him big time. RIP Chrissy.

I found the Divinyls on accident. Back in 1984 on a late night show of foreign music acts. Her in a baby doll dress with ripped stockings and smeared lipstick, singing Boys In Town, I believe. I was done for. She was a force and her voice! So many dimensions! Rest well Crissy ❤️

[@Ulbre]

As an Aussie who was almost an adult in Sydney when the Divinyls kicked off, this is a really great comment to read

[@drt162]

I was an American living in Australia in 1980, and I saw them before they even recorded an album. They were awful, and fitted the Australian environment perfectly. An angry rock band with chips on their shoulders entertaining angry people with chips on their shoulders. I returned to the States in 1982, and saw the video for ''Boys In Town'' and ''Only Lonely'' on MTV, and thought to myself ''I can't even get away from this fcking band''.

It sounds to me like you're the one with a chip on his shoulder about Australian people because you're an uptight American who probably got too many knock backs while here.

[@P-Bass_Pete]

She was an amazing person, an amazing singer and an incredible soul. There are so many women out there who are physically gorgeous but who have no idea how to actually be sexy, she could have given lessons on sex appeal because it just came naturally to her. What an amazing band and what an amazing front woman. Rest In Peace Chrissy, I'm forever a fan!

[@Chapps1941]

Well, she's Scorpio, what did you expect.

[@webdev477]

Mark McEntee is a legend for supporting Chrissie and her vision, but I also think he was intelligent enough to see her potential, and they were quite a team. Thank you to them both for bringing us this wonderful experience that is the Divinyls. More power to him for letting her stand in her power. Mark really believed in her and was one of the only people who saw Chrissie for who she really was, even beyond the "rock star" potential and image. Oh, and I've got to say, Mark McEntee's guitar riffs are amazing..

[@SuperMerchus]

[@robrichardson1284]

The questions from 60 minutes are so juvenile 😂

[@darrenl]

I really admire Chrissy and Mark's patience in having to deal with such a patronising, condescending interview in the form of the fuddy-duddy McMullin and his inane line of questioning. It's very typical of not only the garbage that is 60 Minutes, but also all of the lamestream presenters on network television. I'm surprised any celebrity wastes their time on such programs.

[@crankiemanx8423]

They need to be inducted into the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME!!! Great band, kick ass guitarists and then there is Chrissie….. one of the most over the top, SUPER SEX CHARGED FRONT WOMEN IN ROCK HISTORY!! With the band having a hit song “I touch myself” , a female singing it and that’s enough for a one way ticket to the Hall of Fame in Cleveland!

[@deebaker9199]

There could never be another chrissie🎉 what a beautiful feminine intelligent artist, I miss her so much...I remember seeing her live in Tasmania when I was like 14...I'm 52 now and have never seen such prescence in a performer. Sadly missed and yeah, she was so dignified with ignorant 60 minute males 😂 poor bugger probably good with half part of a number plate 😂❤

[@redbetsy71]

What an appalling way to describe such an iconic woman. Typical 60 minutes garbage. Jeff McMullen is revolting here. Long live Chrissy Amphlett. What a goddess she was at a time where women in music were constantly repressed or mocked for being who they truly were. Actually...nothing much has really changed.

[@blackie75]

Yeah, the mainstream media in Australia never really had their finger on the pulse when it came to anything in the arts. She was an icon and respected all over the world as being one of the great frontwomen of all time. I remember hearing Cyndi Lauper and a few other huge stars gushing over her in interviews over the years. Her death was a huge loss to so many people, but the music will ensure she lives on forever.

[@KenBarberGeek]

I concur

[@bjl2343]

Exactly and Mark is a total clown.

[@crankiemanx8423]

She was also an amazing actress & theatre performer,she had the most amazing talent of conveying emotions through her singing & theatre art .she played Judy Garland in the boy from Oz,even hugh Jackmans intro presentation of her for an award left a lot to be desired.
