JOAN JETT Still Rocks
from: TNOnline.com
JOAN JETT has blazed plenty of rock'n'roll trails, and she continues to do it her way. From founding the all-female band The RUNAWAYS as a teenager to her hit records with her long-time group The BLACKHEARTS, Jett has defied the expectations of the music industry in her own style.
Jett and The BLACKHEARTS appeared at Penn's Peak on Saturday, August 23. And delivered the same high energy performance that has been Jett's trademark.
Jett's look is different these days from how many might remember her from hits such as "I Love Rock'n'Roll" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You". She is now blonde, abandoning her black hairdo when Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx started sporting a similar style.
