      All girl groups are prone to this. Camille Paglia commented about this very real and natural dynamic in female rock groups. They need a strategy for conflict resolution. Men fight and get over it and move forward. When women fight they won't stop even when the problem has been resolved. Women need to sublimate their ego with a "take one for the team" attitude which frankly, is not natural in women.

    I just can't get over how MODERN they sound and look. Seriously, you could transport them to the 2020s just like that and they would COMPLETELY fit in. They were so ridiculously ahead of their time.

    I don't know why people say underrated when it comes to the Runaway's, they are from my era,I have seen them live and they were very much appreciated, they were loaded with talent and "Cherry Bomb" got tons of airplay. Everyone who went solo from that band was successful.

      I remember seeing their album in the store, but had no idea who they were. Didn't even know Joan Jett was a former member when she rose to success in her solo career. Didn't know about Lita until she did the song with Ozzie. Guess I was listening to different rock at the time.

    I listened to them here and there throughout the years but for some reason I decided to really listen to their songs for good this time 🙂🙂
    They were extremely talented and they had a musical maturity that would have put more seasoned bands to shame...
    Joan Jett's vocals are right on point, as is her guitar playing ( interesting seeing her play a strat ) and of course Lita Ford and the rest of the band does a fabulous job...
    Strictly speaking as a guitar player and collector I couldn't help noticing Lita Ford is playing a Burns Flyte 😁😁
    and if I was still 18 she'd completely make me lose my mind...
    Very impressive band...

    Lyrics
    Used to be the trouble maker
    Hated homework, was a sweet heart breaker
    But now I have my dream
    I'm so rowdy for eighteen
    Never read a single book
    Hated homework and the dirty looks
    But now I live my life
    There's a lot I've seen at eighteen, oh yeah
    School days, school days
    I'm older now and what will I find about my
    School day, school days
    I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
    Used to be the wild one
    Hated class only lived for fun
    I'm mean and got my schemes
    At the crazy age of eighteen
    Never made the honor roll
    Hated rules what I was told
    Now I am almost free
    It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen, oh yeah
    School days, school days
    I'm older now and what will I find about my
    School day, school days
    I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
    School days, school days
    I'm older now and what will I find about my
    School day, school days
    I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
    School days, school days

    I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
    School days, school days
