Book Synopsis
ÊBad ReputationÊ is the unexpurgated story of Joan Jett the single most exciting rocker of the American 1980s one of the biggest-selling acts of the age and one of punk rock''s most valued elder statespeeps.ÞThrough its pages a welter of exclusive interviews and observations paint what might well be the last great tale of rock hedonism but one that comes with a twist in its tail. The rockers are women the groupies are guys. It could have been the plot line for a movie or even a sitcom but the Runaways Jett''s first band made it happen and Jett made it last. ÞThe first serious female rocker of the 1980s Jett became the template for everyone that followed. But unlike so many of her peers and counterparts she never lost her credibility never sold out and never gave up. And she has backed her reputation up with genuine star power following the chart-topping I Love Rock ''n'' Roll ä one of the most played ''80s anthems of all time ä with Crimson and Clover Do You Wanna
