Got to see Joan Jett for free last evening and she didn't disappoint!

[devilgrrl]

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that I was most definitely impressed, this is the first time I've seen her live. At age 48 the girl can still rock the house. What made it even better was that she took some great digs at the Bush Crime Family by playing choice sound clips of Rumsfeld's "known unknown" bs and *'s "won't get fooled again" during on of her songs.

Joan Jett, the chick still has it. If you get a chance to see her - do so!

1. Was her girlfriend there?

[devilgrrl]

2. Who is that?

And so what if she was there? :crazy:

[DS1]

3. Her girlfriend

I dunno, if she was there they might have ended the show earlier :P

4. Joan Jett is married. My brother, the former chauffeur and now limo company manager

drove them around Seattle when they were here. Apparently, her husband is a decent, but very nebbishy New Yorker. They sound like a cute couple...

17. Ahh. Rumour had it that she was involved with Kristanna Loken

from Terminator3 fame. Perhaps it was just a rumor, seemed too hot to be true anyway

[devilgrrl]

5. Here's a tidbit from wikipedia...

"Tabloid sources have linked Jett and Carmen Electra romantically.<10> However, Electra said they were "just friends" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.<11><12>"

:shrug:

6. I got to see her live twice. Loved it. I wasn't a big Joan Jett fan, but once I saw her live, I was

def hooked.

[devilgrrl]

8. Same here...

I wasn't much of a fan either, back in the 80's she had an edginess that was really off-putting. These days she seems to have gotten over herself and looks like she's having a lot of fun and it shows on stage.

7. She does put on a good show

I saw her in DC at a free concert, and she rocked the place

[devilgrrl]

9. The Bush zingers were the icing on the cake!

I think I'm going head over to the record shop and get some of her CD's.

10. I love Joan Jett

but I usually have to put another dime in the jukebox to hear her play.

11. I've seen her several times, and she's great!

glad you got to see her.

[devilgrrl]

12. It was well worth the time.

Last evening we couldn't find anything to do when some one mentioned that she was playing a street fair in Alahambra. So, I thought, "heck! why not, let's do it!" And I'm glad I did! Great show. Her voice sounded real good too.

Now, I'm going to pat myself on the back.

14. I love free outdoor summer shows!

I always had to pay to see her back in the day...

[devilgrrl]

15. Well, at least it was cheaper to see her back then.

If I had saw in say... 1982-1985, the tickets would have cost $8-$12 tops.

Michael Jackson fucked that all up when he charged $40 in 1984 to see him live. :mad: Ticket prices have been out of control since.

16. how do these double posts happen?

:crazy:

[bridgit]

13. Joan's *great*, met her doing security, out of so many she was real & down to earth...

cared allot about the people working with her & for her, and yeah she still rocks!!

[stuntcat]

18. I'm going 9/16 to see her :headbang:

:headbang: gonna rock, I know. I saw her once before in a lot different venue, outside in a field.. this'll be in a big stadium because she's opening for Aerosmith. She will Rock The House, her show's the part I'm looking forward to.
