- The multi-decade Rock 'n' Roll Goddess, Rock& Roll Hall of Fame recipient Joan Jett is currently In Australia with her new album with The Black Hearts "Bad Reputation".
Todd Oldham's Biography of Joan Jett is also a fantastic read for anyone who likes the music of the time period from "The Runaways" and wants to find out more about Joan's trial's and tribulation's in the "Rock Game"
While I'm on the subject of the "The Runaways", their Manager, Kim Fowley was once very good friends with Gail Sloatman Zappa, they even cut a record together, "Americas Sweethearts", which Fowley produced. Fowley would later go on to produce Frank Zappa and some of The Mothers of Invention on his seven inch single "Where it's at".
Fowley was a self proclaimed "male street hustler" in his youth and would cruise the street's of "The City of Angel's" looking for tricks.
In 1975 Fowley would have perhaps his greatest success when he created the "The Runaways".
As people who are reading this would probably know, The Runaways featured a then sixteen year old Joan Jett and Lita Ford, whom Fowley "tastefully" attired in leather and lingerie, he would later boast "Everyone loved the idea of sixteen year old girls playing guitars and singing about fu*king"! Some of the young girls in the band, including Cherie Curry, would later accuse Fowley of requiring them to perform "sexual services" for him AND his associates as a prerequisite for membership in the band!
So when Joan says she knows ALL about that scene, I BELIEVE her!

Clueless Interviewer :
"Dya think you'll get married, have kids?"
JJ
"I rock harder than most dudes. How YOU doin'...."
I love how she is still a gum chewing bad girl. She’s so goals
I love how she in unapologetic about witnessing her friend and bandmate being raped and did nothing about it and still refuses to support her claims (even though other witnesses have). What a piece of shit.
It really look weird looking a 60 year old woman chewing gum like like girl.
you mean a grown up kid. yes.
@@TayTay33 what the fuck really????
@@TayTay33 dude why didn’t Joan do anything???? That’s so disappointing and sad
I spent hundreds of dollars on Aerosmith tickets just to see Joan Jett open. The place wasn't even full yet but Joan Jett rocked the shit outta that place!
Love her so much!❤❤
Tremendous!
Amy Rees
Yup. Saw her open for The Who back in the early 80s. Killed it! She was great! Still love her.
Wow, me too! Saw her open for Aerosmith years ago and she put them to shame.
TeacherTeacher
I don’t know if I would go that far,but she’s awesome!
@@johna.1949 I was comparing her to Aerosmith. She was much better than them when I saw them both in concert.
Man It seems like Joan never ages. She is truly forever young.
Make up, hair dye, smoke and mirrors.
Maybe take a better look
Any more face lifts and she'll have pubic hair under her chin.
OMG! Guys...Joan Jett came to Atlanta and played a FREE concert for some unknown reason. I was front row, and insane. She opened with Cherry Bomb, which I did not expect her to play at all. It was a surprise bucket list accomplishment. i will never forget.
lucky guy
She’s still a badass!
100%
She's still looking so gorgeous.
not after all that plastic surgery
Ew
@anthony ritch You would know.
?????
uhh, noo!
As a teenager at the time, I had a crush on her. Watching her now, I realize how amazingly brilliant this lady was. Wow.
Joan Jett is one of those women that will never age to me. At 62 she's still the hottest and most relevant woman rocker out there.
What 'bout June Millington
Debbie Harry x
Edit, she's 76 BTW.
No ,she is NOT.
@@starlite556 sure is
Jimmy obviously doesn't know who Lita Ford is. Yes Joan is hot, but not even in the same class as Lita.
She fought hard, she deserve all the best! Love Joan ❤️
Verdade
Yup she is rock n roll
Absolutely most definitely she is literally a Rock Goddess.
Eazy big boy don't jerk your gerkin too much on here!
Those eyes and that smile!! I've been in love with Joan Jett since I was 14....but don't tell her.
I won't tell a soul, ..... I promise, I'll just pin comment this instead. ; ^ ))
Thanks James at least I know my secret's safe with you. Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year.
@@brentjacks1412 You too mate, have a great Xmas & NYE 2020!
Don't worry you're the wrong sex.
Havent we all?
I have always found Joan Jett an actual personal inspiration and hero.
T 'bad ye self.
She’s just too cool. I’m 54 and didn’t necessarily understand what she meant to the genre at the time. What a person.
Her music was a huge part of my teenage years growing up. Thank you Joan Jett.
A really bad a** band making it through the days and times.
Wasup Fool The Runaways ruled my adolescent boy days. As much of a shit Kim Fowler was he made my teenage years by creating them. I recently met Lita and she laughed at the knowledge of what they did to us young boys in those days.
Same!
She really is a Princess of Rock N Roll.
Her genuine humility is so endearing. True greats dont have to tell you how great they are. She has EARNED all the accolades she receives.
Yep
I grew up on Joan Jett and pat benatar was amazing too. Love ❤️ them both
Agreed! Cheers 💪💚
and amazing Tina Turner
Oh yeah for sure better be good to me is epic and blondie too! Whoo!
I seen her at a concert in ‘80, general admission, got 1 person deep from her side of the stage, I could almost reach out touch her shoe, she happen to look my way when I was belting out her name and singing, my gawd, she sent shivers down my spine when she looked and winked at me, you just don’t know the beauty she possessed and how mesmerizing she was, pictures don’t do her justice, but it is what we have. Long live Joan.
Same story, she's up there, sweat pouring her makeup down her face and she looked at me. My feelings jumped and I was immediately in love with this woman's style, her heart, and her looks. She could do no wrong in my eyes. Joan lives and breathes everything rock and roll embodies, true Badassery lives and burns inside this woman.
You SAW her at a concert. You did not SEEN her at a concert.
@@EastSide-qc5oy grammar nazi
Chris Ubias I did not mean to offend you. It is just a pet peeve of mine when it comes to speech and writing. When people say “I seen” it sounds like the way people talk when they didn’t graduate high school and grew up in a trailer park. Adults should not communicate like that. We should all want better for ourselves.
@@EastSide-qc5oy I have the exact same pet peeve. I just wanna jump out of my skin when a lowlife says "seen" instead of "saw". I ALWAYS correct them. I don't care who they are.
“Do you wanna have children?”
“No.”
Maybe a clone, in case organs are needed later😇
@travelling man I think it's a little too late for that...
@The Searcher it may come out with deformities tho
@T T how many more of you nutjobs are gonna come out from the shadows lol yall claim shes trans with no proof, its laughable really
T T bullshit
"For me pop and rock n roll are 2 separate worlds"
YOU ARE RIGHT!
Another universe completely!
When she said "not really" 💀
There's a post farther down in reference to Joan being "old" and has "stepped aside" ..
What???
Look, 60, 61 is not old.
She's not old and she hasn't stepped aside.
Pick up an instrument, learn how to play and love it. It will be with you, if you're lucky, just like it is with Joan, for life.
I'm a month older than she is.
I picked up a guitar at 8 and I can't see my life without one.
I bought the first Runaways album not because the singer was hot (we said Fox back then) but because it was ass kicking music.
Throwing stones at her because she's gotten older is, well f*cking Stupid.
She's still got it and she hasn't stopped or stepped down.
I don't think she'd know how. It's in her DNA.
Tremendous comment! Cheers
Actually, Suzi Quatro delivered JJ an unfair backhanded insult in an interview (it's been a while since I watched it).
She all but stated JJ had copied her scream.
I think that's why JJ didn't reference SQ in Bad Reputation docu, very much, stating she hadn't really heard of Suzi back in the 70s
I don't blame her for not giving Suzi much in the way of props.
I recall, decades ago, reading something (probably Creem magazine) about Joan talking about influences before the Runaway's.
One in fact, was Suzi.
If I recall correctly, the article stated that JJ had a photo of Suzi in either the heel or inside one of her stacks (AKA platforms, tall soled shoes popular in the 70s).
Suzi had been an influence but, that flippant slap at JJs scream most likely pissed her off .. and who could blame her?!
I'll see if I can find that Suzi interview
Ok. I found some stuff, JJ has to have heard
Qualifier: I was a fan of SQ, crushing on her before I bought my first Runaways album and before JJ caught my eye.
Onward... There's an interview where SQ takes credit for JJs success.
Perhaps on some level she was an *influence* but, JJ earned her success with blood, sweat, tears and damn near her life. JJ paid dues SQ never has. That's a fact. Length of time in the music biz or scene does not equate a heirarchy. When it comes down to brass tacks, JJ has had more success, sales and recognition. Period.
Another slice of "here's another slap for you" by Suzi Q:
SQ stated that "I think Joan Jett deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm pissed off about it" because SQ feels she's more worthy than JJ is. That heirarchy thing again.
Sorry but, SQ just doesn't have the same level of success, even factoring in her popularity in the UK
Nope!
A lesson in egotism:
SQ stated that JJ was "disappointed to find out that I was straight!" ( then chuckled).
Well, Ms. Q revealed on her old MySpace profile, under status, that she's "bisexual".
How do I know? In 2008, I wrote to SQ asking her if she would wish my bass player, who had crushed on SQ for years, a happy birthday. Suzi was very generous in doing so without any problem. My friend then visited SQs MySpace profile, noticing said status.
So, what's this straight business? Did she forget she came out as Bi?
JJ may have had a school girl crush (and I emphasize Girl) but nothing more.
SQ stated that in the 70s, JJ would wait after shows, in hopes of hooking up with her.
Really, Suzi? Really...?
JJ was under age, a minor. WTF difference would it have made if it were true?
Jump back, Jack, get off your high horse, Suzi! For crying out loud, woman!
Last, and this one is a blatant display of jealousy on SQs part...Suzi Q., Self professed Queen of Rock, has called JJ, (when JJ was H-O-T in the 80s & 90s), "Clone Jett"
Those in combination with the other snarky things SQ has muttered about JJ, hell, I don't blame JJ for barely acknowledging SQ in the Bad Reputation documentary.
At least JJ didn't reciprocate because she's just not full of herself. She doesn't need to boast or brag because JJ knows who she is when she gets in stage to perform.
@@nickdamit - I love Joan dearly, and can see how Suzi's comments would be hurtful to her on some level (even though I totally get where Suzi is coming from too). But, it's not entirely accurate to say that Joan never reciprocated. She has, in fact. In one interview, Joan said that she (Joan) wrote her own music, whereas when Suzi was having her success, she was "contrived". This was said when Joan was obviously miffed from an interviewer egging her on, by asking her about comments Suzi made. However, it falls flat, because Joan had her biggest success with songs she didn't write either- same as Suzi. Yet, they both are capable songwriters too. So, in that respect, they should not be critical of each-other- but Joan was at the time. Joan also suggested that Suzi must be "bitter"... I say all this to say that we need to be careful of putting one down while praising another. Neither is perfect. It's best to try to understand both of them, rather than putting one on a pedestal, because then, you are not really knowing who they really are. Hence, Joan, like Suzi, is far from perfect. She has said her fair share of things that she wouldn't want repeated now- I can assure you. Granted, she does try to always be mindful of how she comes across. But, this is miss "I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation" we're talking about here- so she has had her slip-ups... I will say though, the irony is that she seems to care about her reputation and how she comes across far more than Suzi does about hers- which may account for Suzi's more frequent faux-pas as far as comments...
As for the MySpace page, I don't think it was really her. Are you sure it wasn't someone pretending to be her? Because it was said of her by her one-time manager that she was straight as far back as 2004- so unless she had an epiphany or something after that, I don't think she was lying. OR, he was referring to how she identified back in the 1970s, and then after that, she started to realize she was bi. That happens. Doesn't change the fact that when Joan was crushing on her (and she was- majorly! Just go listen to "Gotta Get Out Tonight" if you wanna know how much!), that Suzi wasn't open to it then. And as far as Joan being underage back then, it didn't matter to Joan. A] this was the sexy 70s. People were far less concerned with that back then, and B] I doubt it was much of a factor to Suzi either, because she too, crushed on older people, and even got pregnant by a married man when she was around the same age Joan was back when Joan wanted her. It wasn't an issue for either of them. One-sided desire was the issue.
I've always had a great deal of love and respect for her she's the ultimate rock chick who's a survivor and she doesn't give a fuck what people say you go girl I love you Joan
Just saw her tonight in DC she is still the Queen of Rock n Roll 🤘❤️
Tremendous, thanks for letting us all know! 🤟
🖤 i love her!!😊
Joan Jett, cool af, always
100%!
Driving a taxi at around 2:00AM in Portland, Oregon in the early 80’s I was flagged down on a street corner a couple blocks from Satyricon. Joan Jett climbed in the back seat and said, “Take me to the airport motherf*ker!”. As I turned on the meter and started to pull away from the curb she said, “Do you know who the f*ck I am, motherf*ker?”. I said, “No, who the f*ck are you?”. She said, I’m motherf*kin Joan Jett, motherf*ker!”. And off to the airport we went. She had no luggage, and when we got to the airport she pulled a $50 bill out of her bustierre and handed it to me, and said “Keep the change motherf*cker!”. No lie, probably the best 14 minutes of my life.
Tremendous!
🤣 awesome
LOVE this!!❤❤
She was something once upon a time. But, that wore off a long time ago .
Was going to say you're making this up, but it does sound like something she would do LOL!😂
young joan jett oh my god
Still turn up her songs and rock out in the car. At 58 blessed to have her music. She is right about female industry. As a woman I know.
Thank you for making my teenage fun and real. Thank you for your talent to make my 50s even better. My kids 29. 20. And 14 love you.
Her voice sounds like she's been fighting and screaming her entire life. For rock and roll that's tough and raw, but for life's moments off stage it can be quite sad.
Agreed!
She was a big smoker. I'm the same age as her and I see (VHS) videos of me in my 30s and my voice is COMPLETELY different. I smoked.
@@John-un5uz Was she a big smoker? I've seen tons of pics and videos of her and the only time I really recall her with cigarettes was in the Runaways days. I assumed she quit early on. In one 1981 interview she said she didn't even drink on tour, because it was bad for the voice. Though apparently she smokes something like a joint before recording, to roughen her voice a bit for that.
The Runaway days she always had a butt in her mouth. I quit 20 years ago and the 30 years I smoked before that definitely had an effect on my vocal chords.
@@John-un5uz 30 years of smoking I can certainly see doing vocal damage. I assumed Joan would have smoked for much less time than that. Maybe a lifetime of singing will also change and damage the voice? But ultimately, I don't know. I think she still sounds good though. She's just not 19 anymore 😊
When she speaks, she reminds me a little of a female Sylvester Stallone.
@Rock Stone - She sounds a little slurred or mumble-mouthed too, to me.
She was also born in Philly
@Rock Stone - I get all that. And I respect the hell out of her drive back then, and her success now. I still hear a slight similarity in their speech. That's not meant as an offense, but just an observation.
@Rock Stone - While I can't empathize with that "party till you drop" mania, I admire her will to fight her way back from every obstacle, even the self-imposed ones.
@Rock Stone she's British and-irish
Mid 80s I used to put a buck in the jukebox and play I love rock & roll 10 times in a row
That time in our lives seems so long ago now, but never to be forgotten 💯✅️
Its hard for me to believe any group of kids had it better then teens in the late 70s, early 80s in Southern California. Roller rinks, no junkies living at the beach, banana seats, short shorts. We would go to places amd it seemed like there were thousands of kids just doing whatever we wanted. I got beat up 3 times in one summer, so it's not like it was super safe, but it was amazing.
💯Those times were amazing indeed!
Joan Jett a true pioneer and a solid gold rock and roll legend!
I am a chef and work early morning start time. I start each day listing to I Love Rock and Roll, I Hate Myself for Loving You, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep. Once I blast these three songs through my Empty kitchen I am ready to yank and crank for the next 12 to 16 hours.
Thanks Joan you keep me going.
Tremendous!
Joan isn't old ever she's like fine wine getting better and better with age only tastier she does no wrong ever i stand up for her always she is rock and roll
She has the best “ow!” of any singer in rock music.
I just saw her and Elle King open for Heart in Indianapolis Wednesday. She still sounds amazing. It was a great night of women rocking it out.
I JUST saw her open for heart too in utah. Still kick ass!
I saw her and Elle King too open for Heart. She was Fantastic! Made me feel like a teen again.
Heart sucks!!!!
@@lynndempsey4096 that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Man, I respect her so much. I've played in bands over the years and put pretty much everything I had into it. Obviously, didn't make it. Her never quit attitude is astounding. I'm pretty sure she had to work a whole lot harder than say the Crue or male bands. Her career is still good, that's a seriously long life in the rock business. I'm so glad the RnR Hall of Fame honored her. They need to pull their fingers out and get some others in there that deserve it!
Dude I'm 19 and when I started listening to her songs I felt happy, kind of started to fall in love with her music
A fifteen-year-old kid loving Joan
Anson Anson1709 you have taste young one! 🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
Same here
I'm 14 ayy :)
x2
I’m 14 :) I was obsessed with her when I was younger, still love her but I’m not as obsessed with her now as I was when I was younger. I listen to her music whenever it comes on the radio.
I think Joan Jett and Souixie Sioux should jam before the world ends.
agreed! : ^ ))
Yes, please, it would be a perfect ending credits wtf
They did hang out together in the 70s with the pistols
She's the total package.
No. No package, just wishes.
I saw the very first Runaways show. So glad to see Joad doing well. I have a daughter who is an amazing guitar player and dong what Ms. Jett started.
Hi there🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me throughout the years.
It’s a season of love😍❤️❤️ for me and so I decided to put a smile on the faces of my fans by going through my TH-cam channel and checking out on my fans, so I can get to communicate with my fans better through discussion of depth and humor listening to o and criticism of my career.💞💞🙏💖💕💕
player and dong?
What an icon. She beat the odds and transcended the norms to shape not only a unicorn all-female band, but arguably a style of rock-and-roll that influenced generations. Music moved wide and broad thanks to the talent and vision of this incredible woman. I Love Rock and Roll.
She’s so enlightened...she exudes infinite beauty
She is and very humble and genuine as well
Joan Jett was my first concert in 1983 at a place in Houston Texas called AstroWorld she rocked that whole place!!!
Met Joan - 76 few times n.j bar with Runaways band - great shows -hanged out back stage few beers & with band .good times "Joan is great "
Tremendous!👍
@@JamesDeWeaver lov - joan
my teenage crush , im so glad she was here to make life a better place !!
Joan Jett is one of a kind. There's nobody else like her in the whole entire world. Truly an awesome lady
No..... XD
The Queen Is DORO PEACH.....LOL
WARLOK are god....
There had been lots of female pop and R&B music artists before her, some very good at what they do. What makes Joan Jett different was that she had the heart and soul of a true rocker. That's what made her a rarity in the music world.
Joan is down to earth and real,no pretentions.She sings from the heart and just love what she does ❤
I saw her & the blackhearts on my 24th birthday and i luckily got to meet her band and they went bar hopping with me & my friends. Best birthday ever. I had them sign everything. They signed mu jacket, the dashboard of my car, the sun visor. It was a great time. She is a legend
Joan Jett... so modest. Grew up listening to her in the Runaways and then on her own. STILL and always will be - a class act !!!
100%!
I've been to a couple of JJ concerts and she is always personable, friendly, and interactive with the audience. A really nice lady that appreciates those who appreciate her. Not to mention her and her band sound awesome -tight and clean.
Total respect for Joan Jett. I've loved her since we were both about 20.
JOAN JETT STILL ROCKS!!... seen her in concert a few years ago, awesome!
Joan is the queen of rock!! 🤟
She's also a very nice person
I think you'll find Suzi Quatro is the Queen of rock. Suzi was right to call Joan Clone Jett 🤣
@@PlasticGirl65 You do know being the King or Queen of a genre is not about who came first, right?! If that were the case, Elvis wouldn't be known as the King, cause he wasn't the first. Joan is the Queen of rock n' roll for the same reason Elvis is King- because she represents it for women better than anyone else, i the most iconic, and has had the biggest impact. Suzi being first doesn't make her the Queen, it just makes her an early influencer- even the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, which I fully expect you'll disparage because they don't follow your rules, have a separate category for early influencers, and at this point, that's what Suzi is to female rockers- but Joan is the Queen. Period.
@@storybellz Ridiculous, most of her songs are covers of other people's! She was asked in an interview about writing I love rock and roll and she didn't even have the decency to say it wasn't her it was Alan Merrill.
@@PlasticGirl65 - First of all, heck no, most of her songs are not covers - only most of the ones you know are, which proves that you don't know enough about her to have a valid opinion on the matter. In fact, Joan has written and co-written over 120 songs, not to mention her work with other musicians and as a producer for others! Secondly, maybe she gets tired of constantly having to correct people on who wrote the song- maybe in the excitement of the moment, she, like many, would hate to burst people's bubble, so it always catches her off-guard and she trips up. But the fact is that she was honest about where that song came from, from the very beginning, and credit to Alan is in the album's liner notes. You obviously haven't seen or read many of her interviews, again making you ill-informed to even have a valid or accurate opinion on the matter.
I don't see people holding The Carpenters or others who have done plenty of covers to this sort of rigid, unfair standard or assuming they wrote all their songs and then getting all judgmental and sanctimonious about it.
Those criticizing Joan just can't handle the fact that she's the queen of rock n' roll instead of their fave. It all boils down to that. Fun fact: Joan spent an afternoon at Graceland to pay her respects and put a guitar pic on Elvis's grave, back in the days of the release of I LOVE RnR, and Elvis's own aunt invited her in the house with her. They talked, and Elvis's aunt even remarked on the similarity between Joan and Elvis! That's quite the endorsement that NO OTHER female rocker has! Oh yeah, and Joan also has her own display at Graceland which honors her! So obviously, Elvis's own family disagree with you and are smart enough to know that Joan IS the queen of rock n' roll!
Elvis still has people arguing over whether he's the king of the genre or not- despite the fact that it's widely accepted that he is. Ditto is the case for Joan. Like it or not, she and no other, is the Queen of Rock n' Roll!
@@storybellz Well at the end of the day it's only music, there are far more things in life to worry about other than whether she is or isn't the queen of rock and roll.
A true pioneer from my childhood, hard bluesy punk rock & roll..
She reminded us what "ROCK&ROLL" REALLY was.. it was intimate, it was honest..it was the taboo that everyone feels, that thing the world wouldn't turn without..
I recently discovered THE WARNING.. 3 YOUNG LADIES FROM MEXICO..WHO CARRY ON WHAT JOAN STARTED!🖤🤙
She grew up a couple of blocks from me. I guess we have a musical neighborhood. The bassist from Fugazi lived a couple of blocks away from Joan, and our fifth grade teacher is the mother of the lead singer of OAR. A cellist who performed with Dave Matthews also lives in the neighborhood. Tori Amos grew up a couple of miles away. REM sang “Don’t Go Back to Rockville,” but a lot of musicians came from here.
She's been rocking night after night for what 50 years..total badass
Joan your still a beautiful person 😘🇺🇸😇 God bless you sweetie.... Danced to your music many o nights 🤗now I'm too old hahaha. I guess I'm not we're about the same age never too old to party and have a good time! 😘💟😄
We're never too old at heart. (But tell that to my knees & hips.)
As a rocker Joan kicks ass, it also doesn't hurt that she's hot. She let's everyone know when she's on stage she's in charge, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
she's such a raw and from what i can tell genuinely good human being
Always liked Joan Jett and was a huge Runaways fan!
Gotta Love Joan!! This woman is an Icon! She's Amazing and broke so many barriers for women and men both. Ain't nothin' but Love and Respect for for her musicianship and her music!!❤
Joan Jett is a LEGEND
Had the privilege of seeing her in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. It was the hottest day of the year! Respect
I saw Joan Jett open for Alice Cooper at UNC Chapel Hill NC in ‘77.. She was badass in her red Converses..
I love Joan jett and her music since I first heard it in the 80s my dog named jett after her rock on Joan jett!!
👍Tremendous 🐕
I've never seen Joan Jett in an interview, Wow!!! I am so impressed with how comfortable she seemed, and original and honest her answers were. Saw her a few years back, outdoor theater, ....she rocked it.! Have always been a big fan, always will be wishing you the very best Joan Jett. Please come back to Raleigh North Carolina soon!
Love Joan Jett. Such class and perseverance. Kudos and thanks to so many years of great rock and roll music! You are our beloved rock queen!
Holy s***t! She still looks amazing! ❤️
Lucky enough to have seen her in concert in 1997 & 2018 ❤
Tremendous!
Proud to say I've been a true fan since 1977 The Runaways paved the way for ALL women and Joan took it to the next level and beyond
Never been a huge fan, but certainly like some of her songs. I had the chance to see her live a couple months ago in San Antonio and was totally blown away. What a straight forward ass kicking rock n roll performance. The whole band was on point.
I did the same thing when Joan Jett was here opening for ZZ Top. Three nights and I got tickets for all 3 nights and loved every minite watching her.
SO AWESOME!! 💯🙌
@@JamesDeWeaver it really was awesome, by the 3rd night I just about knew her set list...
Fantastic clip Joan Jett is just beyond cool and so rock and roll it hurts! Total respect for her.
How can one not totally dig Joan Jett? Much respect!
Love this woman.
Love her music.
Do want you want.
Be who you are.
Thank you Joan for being you.
👍😎🤘
I L-O-V-E Joan Jett! She is an absolute rock icon! What she has accomplished is stellar! I've been a fan of hers since 1980!
Saw Joan Jett and Heart in concert this Saturday and they were great! Both bands still have an amazing presence. Great show!
Awesome!
I didn't realize how deep her speaking voice is, HAWT!!! If there's ever another movie made of Joan---- Gina Gershon would he PERFECT!! I'd love to see something exploring her 30's and 40's. Also, I can't get over how different her personality is from her stage persona. She's so feminine! Soft make-up, insane cheeks. I love that she's been rocking nearly 50 years and only has a few tattoos. They must mean something to her. She's the antithesis of her aggressive, loud, very provocative image.
Thanks for the pinned post!
I love Joan JETT
YOU DEAR, CHICK STILL MAKE MY THROBBING (HEART) BEAT OUT OF CONTROL. Thank You Joan you made the 70s and 80s and NOW the greatest time to be alive. Much Love and Respect. Peace.
I really like her speaking voice.
Love love love Joan Jett ❤. Keep kicking ass. ❤ thanks for your music 🎶.
Joan is an example of never giving up. Helps to have the talent she had, but still she fought to make something of herself. And it paid off big time. Her music is still fresh today....Thank you Joan!
Thanks Ron, I love your work! : ^ )))
Joan is the coolest ♡ her. Went deaf standing next to speaker in front row here in Edmonton. She is like a rebellious, cool friend whom we all have had & continue to have; her music can just make one's day. Keep on rockin', Joan!
Went a bit deaf from Joan Jett & Heart concert here in Edmonton but it was totally worth it. Rock on!
Joan Jett is rock and roll
100%
She is a living legend. She has taken other people's songs and made her version the definitive one.
I enjoyed hearing every word Joan had to say. IMO she not is not only a groundbreaking iconic rocker, but a present day powerhouse. My feeling is she worked darn hard for her success.
Those who judge and criticize Joan must assume they are a perfect person. Sorry, NOBODY is perfect. Joan struggles just like the rest of us ageing baby boomers. She is a strong woman and a beautiful roll model. She is still a rock goddess and I can't wait to see her this summer. I love you Joan. Fuck all haters and forget them. How does she do it? The show must go on. No calling in sick! ❤️🌹😊🎶
Definitely 100 agree she will Forever Rule.🤘🧑🏻🎤🤘.
@@jadendiaz3615 She is STILL my Rock and Roll Goddess! 🎶
I think she's an amazing strong and sexy person!!
She seems so happy!!! Awesome!🙌🏼🖤😍🌈🎶
You met joan jett? You lucky fucker
she has been in the edge of music all along !
JOAN JETT NEVER TOOK NO FOR AN ANSWER AND MADE HER OWN WAY. GREAT ROCKER
I saw her Joan Jett and the Blackhearts during the 80's twice and the energy was intense! Once when she opened for REO Speedwagon and a show where Britny Fox opened for her. Good memories and almost 40 years later she's still touring!
we love you joan. the world would have been a much darker place without you... ROCK ON!
I saw her in concert in Anchorage Alaska back in the early 80s, Was awesome. I always love her music.
Wow, Joan has a pretty smile.
100%!
She's amazing
I love her honesty! ♥️
Saw her in 83 at the forum. She rocked the building.
I had such a crush on Joan Jett and Shirley Manson back in the day.
