JOAN JETT plays for troops in Afghanistan
from: salon.com
BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) -- Wearing black boots, camouflage pants and a fishnet top, American rocker JOAN JETT performed Friday for several hundred entertainment-starved soldiers serving at the U.S. military headquarters in Afghanistan.
About 500 coalition troops, mostly Americans, watched the first of two concerts scheduled Friday night in an airplane hanger.
Some soldiers, with automatic weapons slung behind their backs, stood atop stacked boxes of MREs -- military meals ready to eat -- to catch a glimpse of Jett. A giant U.S. flag was draped behind the singer while she sang.
Jett saved her top hits, including 'I Love Rock and Roll,' for last. After the first show ended, troops shouted for more, and Jett returned to perform an encore -- a song called "Everyday People."
Dano Goforth, Jett's tour manager, said she performed for about 2,000 U.S. troops on Sept. 25 in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.
