YOUR-SAY(5): Joan Jett, the queen of rock.

JOAN JETT: The queen of rock'n'roll

Joan jett is an american singer, guitarrist and songwriter that became famous with her teenager band called The Runaways (that impact the society because they were teenager girls doing rock'n'roll, and rock'n'roll was always considered a music style create and made by man).

They were about sixteen years old when they form this band, and in few years they became successful and popular (doing world tour to America, and even Japan).
In the begining, the Runaways did concerts in bars of America, begin booed by man that critic them for not doing good rock, or being insulted and despised for being woman.

But Runaways showed that women could do whatever they want and that they weren't weaklings like the society wanted.
Their songs were extremely provocative, vulgar and powerful.
They wanted to show that women weren't the princesses of the stories that expect a prince to save them: Women were bad girls without complex.

And Cherry Bomb was the most significative song for these concept:

But the Runaways, betrayed by his representant, began to decline. There were internal conflicts in the band because the singer was getting carried away with fame.
Finally, they ended with the band.

But by then Joan Jett had already gained popularity for this masculine image, and her provocative and independent character. And even her great talent with the electric guitar and her famous and characteristic hoarse voice that stands out in one of his most famous song: I love Rock'N'Roll



Joan Jett was always wrapped in speculation, because she didn't like talking about her personal life, her past or her relationships.
So it's for this reason that media sayed that if she had never married or had children or boyfriends it's because she's lesbian.
Joan Jett never said anything about this speculations.
She only lives and enjoy the music, letting go only one sentence for all those people who want to know about her life:
"All of me is in the music. If you want to know about me, just strive to read the lyrics of my songs and listen to my music rhytms. The music speaks for me"

And listening to I don't care about my bad reputation, I can't control a smile, because Joan is a queen: My Queen of the Rock 'N'Roll.
