JOAN JETT
From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When Joan was sixteen years old, she became the leader of a band that helped pave the way for female bands to follow. The Runaways, while not taken seriously in their day, were undoubtedly responsible for bands like The Go-Go's and The Bangles finding success. In the 80's she moved away from the glam sound of The Runaways and found punk, recording her first solo album with members of The Sex Pistols. Several years of success, a little experimentation with acting and coming out of the closet leaves us with the bleached blonde Joan of the 90's. Recording recently with bands like L7 and members of The Gits she stands poised to take back an area of rock that Courtney Love has so smugly appropriated. Whether she can do it or not doesn't really matter, Joan has secured her place in the history of music. She really does love rock'n'roll! In the late 1990's she joined the Broadway cast of Rocky Horror Live! in the role of Columbia. 1980-present.
