Why I want to meet Joan Jett
SHE KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!
sung with the Black Hearts, sings song “I love rock and roll” and various others…
Not only is she just a kick ass woman but her music defined so much of my younger years.
I met Joan Jett (for a hot second) backstage at the 1984 MTV New Years Rockin’ Eve ball. She was talkin’ to Joey Ramone (RIP) and they were both drunk off their asses. Hey, we all were—it was New Year’s Eve! Anyway, I had a backstage pass (with a pink high-top sneaker on it) and I had accidentally stumbled into the wrong door while looking for the bathroom. She was like, “Hey, how you doin’?”. She showed me where the john was and went back to her convo like it was nothing. She was pretty cool. Not stuck up or phony at all.
