JOAN JETT performed Bad Reputation for Ronda Rousey's WrestleMania match.
This year's WrestleMania was full of feelgood moments with huge wins by Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston. But it also featured one of the most rock'n'roll entrances in 'Mania history!
Legitimate badass JOAN JETT performed on The Grandest Stage Of Them All to start the first-ever all-women main event, playing WWE Women's Champion Ronda Rousey's entrance theme Bad Reputation as she headed to the ring.
Joan and The BLACKHEARTS blast out the rough'n'ready rager from atop the ramp, with her name emblazoned in huge Rowdy Roddy Piper font and colours, ripping through the track to 80,000 screaming fans in the MetLife Stadium.
If you're not a WWE fan, you might also know the song as the theme for Freaks And Geeks.
When JOAN JETT was announced to play this year's WrestleMania, Ronda Rousey was more than a little happy about it. Check out the video below.
Wanda Jackson on Why She Had to Retire From Touring from: rollingstone.com By JONATHAN BERNSTEIN
"I wanted to work right up until the point that I couldn't. That point has been reached," says the "Queen of Rockabilly"
There are precious few American entertainers who have been touring longer than Wanda Jackson. In 1955, 64 years ago, the pioneering country-rockabilly singer was on the road with Elvis Presley, who encouraged the then 18-year-old to move toward rock & roll.
Last week, however, Jackson called a halt to her touring career, announcing that she would be retiring from performing due to "health and safety."
"It upset me," Jackson, 81, tells Rolling Stone of her decision from her home in Oklahoma City. "But it had to be done." The entertainer suffered an undisclosed stroke in 2018 and has been struggling with a series of physical ailments over the past several years.
Despite her decreasing health, Jackson is vibrant, energized and excited about her future endeavors, which include an album of original material produced by JOAN JETT, as well as a follow-up memoir she's currently writing. And she remains committed to trying to make the occasional one-off performance, health permitting. Still, she is shocked that the road will, for the first time since she was a child, no longer be a part of her life again.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do now," she says.
You cited your health as the reason for your retirement. How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty well, but it's pretty up and down these days. Today, I'm fine. [more]
