When birth control pills were legalized in 1960, things changed a lot for women. Loretta was not afraid of controversial subjects.
Gotta watch the movie Coal miners daughter .... Ya'll learn another about Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline
Came here to say this. Can’t say I’ve seen her react to a movie. But I think should try to.
Birth control pills were NOT available until about 1972. I was there, I remember it being a big deal on the news. Thats when it became popular. My Mother had five of us. This was a huge topic.
Yes, things did change a lot. One of those changes was an explosion in breast cancer. Another change was the substitution of baby killing for the pill. Another change was the collapse of the family & the disappearance of marriage & responsibility.
No doubt, she sang what she felt, this song created alot of controversy back then. I know to young people now wouldn't understand how things where back then
This song was banned on many radio stations. Being barefoot and pregnant were a reality for most women. Never forget that!
Most women? Get serious.
@@slkinia According to the CDC 84.3% of American women become mothers so yes, that is most.
K T Olson younger men
Her and Conway Twitty singing " you're the reason our kids are ugly" is so funny
She had a pile of kids and a wild husband, you really ought to watch her movie Coal Miner's Daughter, Sissy Spacek was unknown and did her own singing and nailed it.
He wanted her barefoot and pregnant all the time.
Sissy wasn't really unknown. She'd been acting since 1972 and starred in Carrie in 1976 which was her first big role, but Coal Miners Daughter was her second big film, and the first time anybody knew she could sing. She did an awesome job in that role, acting and singing.
@@tomdodds8091 I was only 5 when I saw Carrie at the theater... Gen X lol...totally inappropriate for kids
@@ConspiracySmurf That may have been a little... inappropriate. 🤣
Lorena went on Carson and said Sissyvwas playing the part before being offered the role.
She knew who she wanted playing her.
Many radio stations refused to play this song because the Catholic Church condemned it. At the time that Loretta recorded this song, birth control had been sooo uncertain -- the pill allowed women finally to have control of their lives and bodies, to have careers. To plan when/if they had babies. I distinctly remember getting my first prescription for bc pills and the overwhelming feeling of relief that I had such control. What the song doesn't say is that many doctors wouldn't write a prescription without approval of the husband if the woman was married. Fortunately many hubbies supported the pill.
I would think conservative Baptist, Methodist or Pentacostal. We are talking country music radio.
Loretta had her first child at 16 and had five more before she even knew where they came from…according to Loretta.😂
LORETTA was a bad ass. I love her still.
They wouldn't play this on main stream radio back then. Loretta had 4 kids by the time she was 20. Then she had 2 more after that, twin girls. She meant what she said in her songs. And she didn't apologize for it. I'm so admired her❤
I was Loretta Lynn's personal bodyguard for over ten years. Doing the advance work to traveling and arranging cross agency security details. I became one of her close confidants. Loretta was an amazing, kind, down-to-earth person who suffered many difficult issues in her life. Most of which the public never learned about. We were shot at getting off her tour bus in Bloomington Minnesota. After securing her, I caught the shooter. Her personal life was a series of events in which she suffered and grew in wisdom and her ability to laugh and engage with others that were in need and had similar but quite sufferings. It was a great loss when she passed on. Truly a beautiful person, inside and out.
Thank you for the share.
That song, like so many of her songs, was her life.
You have to look for the movie Coal Miners Daughter it will tell you a lot about how Loretta Lynn and her husband met. It is a great movie.
I’m tearing down your “brooder house” cause now I got The Pill.
The pill came out in the 60's. At first you needed your husband's permission to get it,
All of Loretta's songs are about REAL LIFE situations!
Her Granddaughter is currently performing on American Idol
Loretta always kept it real. Controversy did not sway her..
This song came in the 70's, right after a song called "One's on the Way" that is kind of related to "The Pill."
Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) was when the Supreme Court recognized MARRIED people's right to privacy, and thus, their contraceptive choices were theirs. By the way, consensual same-sex intimacy was not recognized as a right until 2003! [Lawrence v. Texas] As late as 1986, the Supreme Court had allowed a felony conviction and lengthy imprisonment for Adult, Consensual, sex in the privacy of a home to stand. You know about Roe v. Wade In 1973. Yes, this is all very RECENT history.
And it was not until 1993 that marital rape became a crime in all 50 states.
I can’t believe someone finally reacted to this song. Good job!
What young women today cannot even fathom (thank heavens!) is that for all intents and purposes women were the property of their husbands. Even after we had "the pill" husbands had to give their permission for their wives to get the prescription up at least until the 70s. I remember when my mom needed a hysterectomy in the late 60s for health reasons my dad had to sign giving his permission! We owe so much to the women in the 60s and 70s that fought so hard for our independence!
My mom had 7 kids. Her mother had 11. I have 3. Phew. Thank goodness for the pill.
"Woman of the World.." "Dear Uncle Sam..." Loretta was the authentic truth of Country music. The Pill was only her latest. Honest......real.....authentic. Loretta.
The song was banned on the radio (maybe on Country stations only, I'm not sure). Loretta married at 15 and was pregnant at 16. By the age of 20 she had 4 children. After that she later had twins. As many have said below you really need to watch the movie 'Coal Miner's Daughter'. She was a fascinating woman & the movie explains a lot. Loretta spoke her mind both to your face and in her music.
She married at 13. Doolittle was 22.
She was the best. She holds records for song awards and songs band in her time!😂
The pill came out legally in 1960’s
But in many places, such as the south, a single woman could not get it, and a married woman needed her husbands permission, at least when if first came out. I was there and remember.
It was illegal for single women to get it until the Supreme Court decided they could in 1972. Yes, many did but both they and their doctors could go to jail.
Loretta Lynn took no prisoners. Her discography is worth reading all by itself. Some of her hit songs: "Mr and Mrs Used to Be", ""You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man"; "Don't Come Home Drinkin'"; "Fist City"; "Your Squaw is on the Warpath"; "Rated X"; "Pregnant Again"; "Lyin, Cheatin, Woman Chasin, Honky Tonkin', Whiskey Drinkin' You", and a duet with Conway Twitty titled "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly".
You could teach a college course on mid century feminism based entirely on Loretta Lynn lyrics.
This reminds me of one of those K-Tel albums that had all the goofy songs on it: Purple People Eater, Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor on the Bed post Over Night, May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose, etc
I was in High School when this song came out. so this was 61 or maybe 62. This song caused a huge controversy and it was all over the news.
The pill itself came out in the early 60s
The song came out in 1975
Girl, you crack me up! 😅 Look at it this way, women often got married as teenagers back then.... At least in my rural Appalachian world... The first 4 of me and my siblings were "stair step children". A year and a half between each of us, and my mother had 3 of us by the age of 19. Then there's a long stretch (years..) until my youngest brother came along, lol! 😂 Loretta Lynn was a 29 yr-old grandma herself, and knows what she's singing about in this song, hehe! Before birth control pills, women were kept "barefoot and pregnant"! Again, at least where I come from, they were. I can't speak for other communities, but I can imagine they weren't much different. My grandma had 6 daughters and miscarried one, while working at a dairy farm milking cows twice a day. One of the daughters was named "Loretta Lynn" after the singer they were all proud of, that came from the hollers of KY, just like them!
Loretta mentioned "brooder house". A mama chicken who is sitting on her eggs is called "broody".
My favorite country female singer...Thanks for the reaction...She has a lot of awesome songs.
She had a few children before she was in her 20 , I believe she was married by 15 mom at 16. All the women were tied to children when they were still children . Families of 5-6-9 kids were common
You MUST watch the movie about her life. You can’t even imagine.
She had lots of babies but now she’s free of all that she’s got the pill no more accidental pregnancies.
You should check out "One's on the Way!" it's hilarious.
Britt, please react to Loretta’s song, “Fist City.” I think you’d get a big kick out of it. 😄
She got one called One’s on the way.
She tells about what her life is like popping out a bunch of kids
One of the best artists ever... please check out more of her songs.
She had her kids from about 1949 till about 1965. Her last two kids, in 1965, were born the same year as her first grandchild.
Now you need to react to her song “one’s on the way”.
Now you gotta react to David Frizzell's "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino (to decorate our home)" It's another country song about a woman who's come up with a way to keep her man at home. You'll love it!
The Pill was a pretty big matter of discussion in the 1960’s.
I was 12 years old when the pill came on the market and my mother who had nine children said to me “it’s going to change everything”…and it did.
I LOVE THIS! I have never heard this! My parents had a country / polka band and they never played this one. Hm. I am one of seven kids born in the 50s and 60s. What a screamer! 😂
I think Britt be gobsmacked! Love your channel!
I I became A fan after seeing her on the Merv Griffin show singing this song. Listening to her talk, she was great.
Now she has the birth control pill . Around the time the pill was available to women.
I would suggest you listen to One's on the way
by Loretta Lynn. Women back then had lots of children because they didn't have a choice. She named one of her twins after her idol Patsy Cline. This is not my favorite Loretta song. But thanks for the reaction.
Loretta was a legit badass. Love her.
This is a great song, loved your reaction to this one. ❤️
Loretta Lynn was always and always will be my favorite female singer. Willie Nelson is my favorite male singer. I love your reactions. You have another subscriber.
This was great!!!🤣🤣🤣
I recommend you watch Coal Miner’s Daughter. It’s a really good film and it will tell you a lot about those country music ladies of the 1960s and 70s. The pill came into wide spread use in the 1960s. Just for context, women couldn’t get a credit card without her husband’s or father’s signature until 1974. Different world.
you should watch Coal Miners Daughter. it is her life story and she wrote songs based on her life situations. It's very good. I love Loretta Lynn I grew up listening to her. I'm going to be 56 in a month.
Now you need to hear ONE'S ON THE WAY...about before she got the pill. Loretta Lynn had 4 kids by the age of 21, then had twins just as her career really started taking off.
For all her talk in the song, Miss Loretta always dressed modestly. When other performers came out in short dresses, she wore a floor-length gown.
No, she wrote this I believe about her husband Doolittle, every time she gets a break, she’s pregnant again…check out the movie Coal Miners Daughter, which is about Loretta Lynn
The pill became available in the early '60s. This song came out shortly after celebrating the newfound control it gave women. It might feel quaint now, but at the time it was quite controversial, so props to Loretta for putting it out there.
Music can be a history lesson.
My Grandmother lived in severe poverty and gave birth to 14 children, 12 of whom survived. She scraped and did without to tend and raise them all. No worlds can describe how hard it was on her. While I dearly love all of my aunts and uncles and the resulting tribe of cousins, I know that life would have been much easier for Grandma if she had had access to the pill.
A brooder house is where they put the chickens to hatch the eggs.
The advent of the pill really allowed women to (gasp!!) enjoy sex without the constant worry of (yet another) pregnancy. It allowed them to work and become independent of men - which also horrified many men. This song was many women's anthem - when they could actually hear it, since it was blocked so many places.
Loretta was only about 13 when she married her husband and started having babies. She even had a set of twins. Most of her songs was about her life. She was the real thing.
Loretta Lynn had six children by the time she was 25. During an interview about this song she was asked, "How do you feel controversy about the pill".
Her response was pure Loretta, "If the pill was available when I was popping out young'ns I'd be eaten them pills like they were popcorn."
Hey Brit I figured you'd like this one. You should react to. You ain't woman enough to take my man...
Or better Fist city
Women were tired of being baby makers and staying home all the time, and I don't blame them. My oldest sister was a country singer in small bands her whole life (60's-90's) and two of the songs she loved to sing was this one and harper valley PTA which I'm to watch you watch. She loved Patsy Cline, Reba, Loretta Lynn and growing up we had a piano and she would play and we would all sing and dance, that's 5 kids and two adults, even more on Friday and Saturday nights after the bars closed lol
from what I understand this was a very ground breaking song because back in the day.. this was not talked about... at all.. but Loretta put it out there and gave a voice to women.
LORETTA LYNN had her first child at 14 and 5 more followed.
Thas right. It was a brooder house. You should watch Coal Miner’s Daughter. (Her life story) Yeah, he did. Like 6 times or so.😮😢😊
My dad would t let my mom take birth control, but it had nothing to do with body autonomy. He was scared of it. The doctor gave her a BOOK, like, a thick BOOK of possible complications & side effects of it since it was so new. He said, “We’ll do something else, but I don’t want you taking this until it’s around a little longer. It’s too dangerous.” They only had 3 of us with 3.5 years between each of us, so whatever else they did worked. 😊
1961...the pill hit the market. By 21 she had at least 6 children. I suspect she was only 13 or 14 when she married.
She married at 14. first baby at 15, one at 16, one at 17, one at 18, and twins at 19! Six under 20, that is fertile. First pill were 1960, her song was 1975.
Hey now! I appreciate all twelve of my aunts and uncles, and wish I had met the two that passed before I was born.
That's awesome!
The late country music icon shares six children - four of whom she had given birth to by the age of 20 - with her late husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn, whom she married at age 15. BTW, there was a set of twins in there ... she named one Patsy (after her best friend Patsy Cline - also an icon in country music who died in a plane crash - and you can see that in the movie Coal Miner's Daughter) and the other twin was named Peggy. Loretta wrote all her song about life and the things that Doo (her husband) did while they were married. BTW, you should watch this video where Loretta sings to Doo and brings him to tears, called Love is the foundation . ua-cam.com/video/zjYuza-T1As/v-deo.html
Your confusion is a good thing. It was 1960 when the Pill was legalized, before that married women got pregnant. Period. It is a good thing that the pill is around and women's lives are so different that they can't understand a life that they don't have to live. The line "feeling good comes easy now, 'cause now I've got the pill" is one of country music's first references to women enjoying sex, not as a route to babies, but because they like it. Unless you lived it, you have no idea how much the Pill improved women's lives.
For a companion song, you might want to listen to Loretta's songs One's On The Way and Rated X. But one of my favorites is Hey Loretta.
Fist City is a must
To truly understand this song you really have to try to understand what life was like prior to the legalization of birth control in this country. Sadly, we appear to be taking a step back in time.
As the daughter of a woman who is the oldest out of twelve children, there was no birth control except abstaining from sex. Mom is 92 now, and shes told me of my grandmother during those years.
You are so much fun.
" brooder house" lol
You need to see the video Coal Miners Daughter about her life.
The pill hit the market in the early 60's
Early 60's.
Real life. Loretta was always prego because her hubby, Doo (short for Dolittle) wanted to keep her that way and he was messing around on her. Her songs were an actual real life experience even about the cheating. Yet she managed to stay married to the fool until he died.
He keeps her knocked up and she’s sick of it, this was her most controversial song and when birth control first came out
Miss Loretta was my best friend ❤❤❤ we shared so many things together i talked to her the night before she passed away R I P No she was married to him and ni this was the 70's she had 6 kids i did the same thing I had 9 children
All of her songs could have been (and many were) considered controversial, back in the day.
Loretta never pulled any punches.
She lived it and sang about it.
This is her independence day
If youve never watched Coal Miners Daughter yet Brittney....you definitely need to watch it.
Loretta Lynn the original female legend. 3x more No:1s per single released than any other female.
She found the banned country songs. oh we are in trouble now.
I remember before in 1970, women weren't allowed to have a credit score, or credit cards in their own name. They weren't allowed to vote either.
She was married and had 6 kids and trying to have a career. This came out in the 60s. it was a very controversial.
He’s keeping her knocked up.
Loretta had 4 kids by age 22, and she was sick of being pregnant. She had 6 children all together.
Loretta got married at 14 and had 4 babies very quickly.. Before she had a career.. and then she got pregnant again when her career was at it's height.. with twins... she had 6 children. probably b4 the pill ever came out. Loretta wrote songs about life. true country songs... I miss it. and her husband.. Doo.. yeah he cheated on her many a time.. but she stayed with him till the day he died..
Big time controversy at the time!!! Roe v Wade happened in 1973 , this song came out 1975! She paved the way for other female singers!!
I highly recommend Tyler Mahan Coe’s country music podcast Cocaine and Rhinestones. Season 1, episode 2 is all about this song and the real reason it was banned. He also covers other songs and artists you have reacted to including Bobby Gentry and Jeannie C. Riley.
I’ll check it out,
She was saying she was having one baby after another. Then the pill came along and gave some women the chance to stop the process.
I would have to go back and look specifically, but I think she had four kids. By the time she was 20. She married very young, which was not all that on common back then.
Listen to “One’s on the way”
