How old is joan now? Which bangles member was in the
runaways,and what does she/did she play? The only one I can think
of is the drummer. I think the runaways set the stage for most of
the all girl bands including: the GoGos, Bangles, Vixen, etc. I
love the song Crimson and Clover. As for lita, She's the Best..

she plays bass.

| OK Grant - fess up! Were you one of the guys in the front row
years ago for the Runaways? Do you know what I'm talking about?
It made for good press/hype back in its day.
BTW - I like J.J. a lot. When I lived in Manhattan in 1981, I
caught her doing a lot of clubs. She was fairly active on the
NY/NJ circuit as the time, and this was just before her "I Love
Rock n' Roll" breakout.

| re. .4
Hey man, it wasn't me. I actually never heard of Joan until I Love
Rock'n Roll came out. Even then, I didn't know about her until a
friend started to rave about her. So, I picked up the album without
even hearing a single tune from it. I loved it. Anyway, by the time
1980 came, I was only 12.
I know what you mean when you said "Do you know what I'm talking
about." I have all the Runaways' albums, plus taped interviews with
her on David Letterman, from RockLine (radio call-in show broadcast all
over North America on Mondays at 11:00 pm EST), from recorded
interviews back in 1981, and from interviews from Much Music (Canada's
MTV). I also have an interview recorded with Lita Ford and I read
Cherie Currie's book Neon Angel. I've done my homework on Joan.

I know I'd love it!

| re. 179.6
I believe the video you saw was for the song "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh
Yeah)". I haven't see it (damn!) but, I've heard about it. There
aren't too many video's of Joan's shown up here in Canada. The only
one's they show are "I Love Rock'n Roll", "Bad Reputation", "Crimson
and Clover", "Good Music", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", and "I Hate
Myself For Loving You". These videos are only shown during a segment
called SPOTLIGHT from Much Music. Talk about fate, two years ago, I
was going to see Robert Plant and Joan Jett play in Hamilton. Their
concert was postponed because Mr. Plant's drummer hurt his hand.
Lo-and-behold, the concert was rescheduled to December 12, 3 days
before my birthday. This was great. Then on my birthday, Joan Jett was
on SPOTLIGHT.
Does anyone know if there is a video tape out that has some of Joan's
videos on it? I know Lita Ford has one out (of course I bought it),
named Lita.

| Man, that had to be well over a decade. That was the last time
I wha..... (oooops).
Seriously, Joan Jett was on her own as early as 1981. The Runaways
as early as 1976 I think- c'mon Grant, you must know.
Go Go's were out in 1981 because I remember the dance clubs in
Manhattan playing "Our lips are Sealed" back then.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to hear about your Manhattan escapades
sometime...you know, were you heavily involved in the NYC rock scene?

| re -2
The Runaways were formed in 1975 and broke up in the spring of 1979.
Joan's first solo album was released in Europe in 1979 and rereleased
in North America in 1980. That album was Bad Reputation.
