In the world of BAD ASS women, Joan Jett has always been at the top of my BAD ASS CHICK list. I don’t pretend to be this level of a BAD ASS, but I know meet the criteria on some “Joan Jett levels.” Like how hard she works, how she has her own style and definitive thumb print on her work, the niche she fits so comfortably in the music world.
THINGS I LOVE ABOUT JOAN JETT:
I love her RAW beauty. I love that she took her mother’s maiden name JETT as her stage name; BAD ASS
Even though she received her first guitar at age 13, she stopped taking formal lessons soon and taught herself; BAD ASS
She was an OPERA SINGER and her teacher threw her out because of her PUNK CLOTHES; BAD ASS…she showed that singing teacher, didn’t she?;
Kim Fowley connected Jett & Sandy West, her drummer…BAD ASS women coming together to COLLABORATE & CREATE;
JETT & SALAS both born in September…BAD ASS VIRGOS;
Jett was on tour with the Runaways in England and booked to appear on a variety show hosted by the Arrows. It was here that she first heard them perform what would become her biggest solo hit, “I Love Rock n Roll”;
QUOTE BY JOAN JETT
My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.
MY WISH TO YOU
Love something YOU DO so much that it’s like taking a breath; it’s as important as your left arm; as essential as eye sight, as beautiful as the deepest parts of your soul.
DEFINITION OF BAD ASS and BEAUTY!
