This day in music history.

June 8, 1989, During a press conference Chrissie Hynde claimed that she once firebombed a McDonalds Restaurant. The following day a McDonalds in Milton Keynes was firebombed and Hynde was threatened with legal action. She also urged people to "go and batter the tuna fishermen responsible for the slaughter of dolphins in the East Pacific." McDonalds would soon unveil their McBattered Tuna Fisherman sandwich, which when purchased in the Happy meal came with a toy baby seal and a baseball bat.
