Kavanaugh would've been 17 in 82 when the song came out. Joan Jett used to live in Rockville MD and went to Wheaton high school. The Georgetown prep school is just south of Rockville on the pike.

Her family had moved away to CA before 82, but she could've come back to visit friends only to discover the inspiration for her song.

Ok, well, probably not, but this stuff has me reminiscing about the time and place and I wanted to post a link to the tune.

Enjoy!

She’s gay, more likely she was singing about a girl.

Jett was performing the song in late 1980 or very early 1981. I heard her do it in Tallahassee Fl in a night club. She said they (the band) liked the song and it would probably be on an upcoming album. Besides, she didn’t write the song, wasn’t it released in the late ‘70s by another band?

Nope but she recently caught flak because she still stands up for Songwriter producer Kim probably, who has been accused by one of the runaways committing rape. Kim got along with several members of the band up to his very last year. Those women even above age 50 now could not be in the same room together but they could each meet with Kim without hassle but they didn’t like each other. But the Internet throws a fit anytime someone steps to his defense, and Joan Jett recently came to his defense again even posthumously in the me too era

I love Rocky Road,
So won't you go and buy half-a-gallon, baby;
I love Rocky Road,
So have another triple cone with me!

Joan Jett would not have a much affiliation with Judge Kavanaugh, as he DOES give a damn about his “bad reputation”.

He’s so vain, he probably thinks that song is about him.

That was opportunistic humor, BTW.
