Joan Jett made me feel things as a young man. Baddest rocker chick there ever was.

[@williamyates694]

Yeah I was confused lol. I saw the video Do You Wanna Touch and flashes in bikini. As a 6th grade young adolescent I loved it. Not knowing she had no interest in men at all lol. So I learned what a lesbian is and caught on. I knew what a lesbian was, but I always thought at that age they were L.L. Bean types. But she was hot and totally crushable. She taught me a lot early on about acceptance and the general feeling of WHO CARES? 🍻🤟👏

[@kevincaulder96]

DO YOU WANNA TOUCH ME (OH, YEAH) is the arena rocking anthem you need from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. BAD REPUTATION is a kick-ass song, too. Keep going and enjoy

Runaways,”Cherry Bomb”🔥

I have a cute story involving Joan Jett from my youth. Joan was one of the founders of The Runaways at 16 years of age. In 1978 they toured Sweden and I was at a small outside venue to see them with a friend. A bit before the gig I went behind the stage (a small venue with the dressing room behind the stage) and climbed the fence that was surrounding the stairs to the cellar. Above the fence was a small window to the dressing room, and as this was during the summer month it was open. I stuck my head inside and there they was, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West and Vicky Blue. They all smiled at me as I said hi (the only word I could come up with in the magical moment), and Joan walked over to the window and gently caressed my cheek and at the same time gently pushed my head out with a smile and the words: - Sorry boy! I was in heaven for the rest of the night and I said to my friend that I would never wash my face again. 😊😋 I was 15 years old at the time and Joan was 19 at the moment, turning 20 later that year.

[@markhodge7]

She was interviewed after being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She said that Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney were in the front row and she was in awe when they stood up and applauded.

Joan is a couple of months older than I am, she'll be 66 in September, and she's still rocking. I'm pretty sure I saw her back in the seventies as she played a couple of clubs I hung out in.

[@sirkat344]

Saw JJ here in Tulsa opening for Robert Plant in the 80s. It was a rocking opening act. At the time, I'd only just begun to warm up to her. That show made me respect her immensely as a musician and singer. Yeah, this was the single that was on the radio at the time. Joan really rocks!

[@daveray44]

Saw her in Great Falls MT in 1980. The local paper reviewer said that Joan Jett proves that if you know the right 3 cords you can make it in this business! One good thing about her concerts are they are high energy with only minimum pauses

Back in the '80s there was an old adage, "It takes balls to rock & roll". Joan Jett is one of the serious exceptions to that rule.

Joan Jett originally started with the Runaways. There was Joan Jett and Lita Ford with a few other band members that changed. Lita went on to further her career with her own albums and a duet with Ozzie, the prince of darkness. Joan was a big hit for sure. Still love to hear her on the radio or wherever.

There are two other big hitters that Joan Jett released. One is a cover of a 60s hit by Tommy James. Crimson and Clover was huge for her. The other is one that often gets lost in the shuffle - that one is titled Fake Friends. What I love about her music, from the eighties, was the thunderous drums on each track - brilliant and bold.

[@RoGueNavy]

I first heard Joan, back when I was in 5th grade, at the skating rink. The song was "I Love Rock n' Roll", and she blew me away. Check out her cover of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", or her spectacular song "Backlash". She even acted in an 80's movie eith Michael J. Fox, called "Light of Day". She and Michael recorded the theme song, and it's absolutely amazing.

I Love Rock 'n Roll is an obvious choice, but also her cover of the classic Crimson and Clover.

You have a sharp ear Phil. That 8 measure Aerosmith build is spot on. Heard both songs 100s of times, but only hovered around that common tool, without connecting the two. You did that with the Aerosmith train crossing cowbell too. You may have a musical audiographic memory if such exists. LOL 😉
