I started The Runaways with Sandy West. We shared the dream of girls playing rock and roll. Sandy was an exuberant and powerful drummer. So underrated, she was the caliber of John Bonham. I am overcome from the loss of my friend. I always told her, we changed the world.
Joan JettI'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
Joan JettAs a kid, in the Runaways, I would see the interviewers start to ask about our personal lives and what we did โ and I could see the look in their eyes. They were practically frothing at the mouth. So if I answered these questions, I knew they were never gonna talk about the music. It was like that instinct โ donโt go there, man. Have boundaries. Have mystery. You donโt have to let everybody in! I want to be singing to everybody, and I want everybody to think that Iโm singing to them. Guys, girls and everyone in between.
