I thought I remember Lita saying that Lita was the only straight member of the band.
I would often get Joan Jett mixed up with Pat Benatar, still do. I’ll hear the song of one and think the other lady must have sang it.
Well, I've heard of Marie Currie.
Maybe that was Marie Curie
“Gee. Cherry Bomb’s out.”
that’s “Ch-Ch-Ch Cherry Bomb!” to y’all
“ I wish women still wore heavy mascara like that.”
Now they wear those fake eyelashes. You know, if that gal had some really long eyelashes she would be a beauty! Said no man ever…..
Only due to their similarity in appearance/style of dress and makeup. Benatar can sing opera (and has done so). Joan just screams, which is fine for a punk record. Benatar is famous for her breathwork, range and control. Just the beginning “woah-ah-woah-ah-woah-ah-whoooooooaaaaaa” opening from “Love is a Battlefield” is extremely difficult to accomplish, and Benatar made it sound easy.
Real life Cherie was married to the "Airplane!" guy in the 90s.
The one on the right.
I think Cherie actually may have joined them later, Lita may have been referring to the original members.
“But when your party demands you live in fear, [squalor], beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel, demeaning us at every turn!”
lol...that’s a pretty good list. The D’s are the party of misery, chaos, and anguish...encouraging death with every policy.
Glad to hear this, but it still hasn‘t filtered down to my former circle of grunge music scene friends (many of whom would totally fanboy out over the Runaways). I still can’t talk to any of them and cannot relate any more. They refuse to put 2+2 together.
>>>They refuse to put 2+2 together.<<<
Relentless Slam Dancing will do that...................
I agree, Pat B. has the richer singing voice.
I’m thinking of Pat’s song “We Belong”.
Listen to the last chorus of it. You can hear the opera like structures of the women’s chants. It builds and recceeds and repeats with great precision.
Johnny Rotten would know of what he speaks on that topic.
As you probably know, Johnny lost his wife Nora Forster just last year to the effects of dementia. She had early onset, but he stayed with her, by Nora’s side to the very end.
Johnny’s a good guy. He also called out Jimmy Savile when nobody else would.
And it got him banned for many years.
Well, we can’t all be smart. Actually, only a very small percentage of us are smart, which is one of the reasons leftism continues to flourish.
“Communist Rules for Revolution.”
A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:
* 1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.
* 2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
* 3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule, etc.
* 4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
* 5. By encouraging governmental extravagance, destroy the credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
* 6. Promote unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorder and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government toward such disorders.
* 7. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty and sobriety.
C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.
Yep. Biden maxing out the Misery Index like Jimmy Carter.
