Joan Jett has a level of badassery that is tough to match. Very few females bring the hardness the way she does. Heart, Melissa Etheridge and Pat Benatar are some great examples that y'all listed. I was in 8th grade when this came out, and it was very risqué for the time period. My friends and I wanted to perform it at the talent show, but we knew better than to try to get away with that. 😆 Excellent reaction.

[@firstnamelastname8060]

Doro Pesch (Warlock) is the only other woman who has that true badassery. But both Doro and Joan have hearts of gold. Such lovely humans. I went out with Doro after one of her shows and had an amazing chat about life. She is a sweetheart!

[@JET1970]

Heart is a great band they they are tough or badass like John Jett cause they needed to sing more songs like Barracuda

[@melanielucas4155]

Melissa Etheridge is nothing like Joan! Putting her in same category as Joan is like putting Jethro Tull winning the Grammy over Metallica for best rock/metal award in 1989!

[@loristone9242]

@@melanielucas4155 badassery is an adjective that goes across all music genres. I wasn't comparing them in any other way. Deep breath. And the Grammy awards ceremony that you are referencing has you preaching to the choir.

[@dianawilliams525]

You are so right - I saw her open for Loverboy back at the Cow Palace many, many years ago and she put on quite a show. Saw her again about 15 years ago at a little county fair which didn't even charge admission and she put on just as energetic a show as the first time I saw her. She definitely gives her fans their money's worth.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Joan Jett is such a guilty pleasure, saw her live twice. Once in a club closer than I am to my TV right now, and once from across a large arena. She can work a crowd like few other folks. She IS Rock and Roll personified.

This song originally came out in 1973, went to #2 on the British charts, it never charted in the US. It was written and performed by Gary Glitter, a British member of the Glam Rock era.

[@tud1366]

@@brettv5967 Thank you. It was a hard post to make, but I feel people should know where the music comes from. It is though, getting harder to know what music is "okay" to listen to anymore. Huge glam rock fan, but after finding out about Glitter, I got rid of his music that I owned, I broke up the records and CDs and threw the pieces away. But I have singles, albums from the 70's and CDs of the Bay City Rollers. The bandmembers have done NOTHING wrong, but their manager, besides stealing 95% of their money, got caught just like Glitter. Am I a "bad" person for still listening to BCR? What about poor Sinead O'Conner. They tore her apart, and has anyone apologized to her? Personally, I feel you cannot appreciate what's in front of you, unless you know the history, good or bad.

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Now that we are amped up let's dig in. Definitely do BAD ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. And long as we are in the 8o's, let's have the return of Billy Idol. My suggestion is his knockout video for TO BE A LOVER. Itnis quintessential 8o's magic and my very favorite Billy Idol video. In an interview, I remember him saying that he was doing his best Elvis impression during the middle portion of the song. But the stogie chomping piano player is a show stealer to watch. High energy, Steve Stevens guitar, and the ladies of the 8o's bringing the harmony in fashion. It's so, so good. TO BE A LOVER. Enjoy

[@acb9231]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing! Great tune, she definitely rocked back in her heyday. Interesting fact: She took the stage name “Joan Jett” from a Muddy Waters song called “Bad Reputation.” It was suggested to her by drummer Sandy West, who thought it would fit well with the edgier punk rock sound she had been working on. She chose this particular moniker because it fit with what she saw as a rebellious nature of hers. So many people already knew her as “Joanie,” which some members of The Runaways, her former band, called her.

It might be because it was originally by Gary Glitter, and his music is now rightly frowned upon because he was charged with having child pornography, child abuse and attempted rape…

@James Kreger He was guilty of a lot more than downloading porn. Living with a 11 year old "wife" in Vietnam in his late 50s for starters. I don't think cancel culture is to blame for wanting to forget a record originally written by a paedophile which was almost certainly about wanting children to touch him. It's just common decency.
