On my flight to LA I saw the movie 'The Runaways'. Having initially been put off because of the involvement of Kirsten Stewart (I really find her face annoying) I actually really enjoyed the movie. I already knew a lot of the songs and a few of the band members but I didn't really know much about their roots.
Formed in late '75 by Joan Jett, drummer Sandy West and producer Kim Fowley, after completing the line up with Lita Ford on guitar, Jackie Fox on bass and Cherie Currie on vocals, they went out there as the only all-girl rock band in a very male-dominated rock world.
Though they never had huge success in the US, they did very well in Europe and Asia and have songs that are still highly recognisable. After Currie left, Joan Jett took over lead vocals and still has a strong career today.
As for me, I've been hearing the wonderful 'Cherry Bomb' everywhere the last few days and can't stop humming it.
This blog is just brief but next weekend it'll be back to normal.
Hope you enjoy this weeks song!!
Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say, ya poor little fool
Down the street I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for
Hello Daddy, hello Mom

Hello world I'm your wild girl

Bad nights cause'n teenage blues
Get down ladies you've got nothing to lose
Hello Daddy, hello Mom

Hello world I'm your wild girl

Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
