Mexico City.- In rock with a social cause, in the lyrics that question reality, in the stories of women without prejudice, JOAN JETT found her purest and most genuine form of expression, the same one that made her a legend and gave her the title of feminist. and rebellious without caring what they would say.
A true rock standard of the 70s and 80s, with a career spanning almost five decades and already inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with his band, The BLACKHEARTS, the interpreter of the number one song "I Love Rock 'n ' Roll" said she was proud to have made her way in an industry run by men.
"There may be an evolution, but women never lose that stigma that age is a disadvantage. A man matures and nobody says anything about his appearance; a woman grows up and everyone has an opinion.
"Since I started, there were men giving their opinion of what I sang without understanding women, and I feel that there has been significant progress. I have earned my place for who I am, for what I represent and because I fought against all kinds of stereotypes" , sentenced Jett by telephone from his home in New York.
With her newly released acoustic album Changeup, the 63-year-old star said she doesn't know what to do with the compliments, as stars like Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus often cite her as a major influence, though she likes that because it brings her into the conversation. of today's youth.
"There are bands outside of the mainstream who refer to me and praise me, and girls like them make me feel very valued. I think that in the industry I have not been recognized as much as I should be, although, honestly, I have never been motivated by awards.
"I feel like there's a lot of respect for me, but in the awards conversation, I'm almost never there," said the nominated for only one Grammy, for the song "I Hate Myself for Loving You."
It was in late 2017 when Jett was filming profile interviews for her documentary Bad Reputation, directed by Kevin Kerslake, that she reflected on the songs she's made in her career that have referenced her as a rock mainstay.
That is why she decided to record an album with acoustic versions of pieces like "Love Is Pain", "Bad Reputation", "Long Time" and "Fake Friends", which returns her to the playlists of the platforms after her last album Unvarnished. (2013).
"It's been years of creating music and touring, exposing what I feel and what I think. They called me a feminist when I only exposed my feelings about the rules of society, and now they call me a veteran or legend for the time I have.
"I appreciate those who recognize my effort and my resistance. We are not all of us who got here fighting against trends or fighting against a system that only favors fame. Rock is still present, although it may not be as popular today as it was. It was 30 years ago," he said.
The singer of "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" and "School Days" expressed her desire to return to Mexico after not playing live in the country since the 90s.
"Curiously, there are no businessmen who invite us. I don't know if they don't know us or don't want to risk it, but I do summer tours and we're so close that I'm surprised we don't go.
"Honestly, I couldn't say anything about Mexico because my memories are very vague. I think I was there in the late '80s or early '90s, so I would like to go back as soon as possible," Jett said.
He will prepare, in any way, to have the best repertoire for his Mexican fans in case he can specify a date, concluded Joan Marie Larkin, her real name. |
