Sandy West and Joan Jett

The Runaways

Joan Jett is still the Queen of Rock. No qualms.

I wonder if in twenty years someone will say Britney is the Queen of Rock. Or Avril Lavigne.

Egad.

Can’t wait for the biopic of The Runaways. After they split, why did Sandy West not go on to fame but Joan Jett is still so good? It’s not bullshit that many young musicians can trace their inspiration directly to the first time they heard Cherry Bomb. I read the film explores Cherie Currie’s relationship with Joan Jett more so that may not answer my question but the fate of the members reveals something about the creative strain and the life strain. There is never an end to desiring success but if you want something you must be able to work for it, means or no means, lean and not green.

How much do you want it? And then, keep working.

“you know sometimes I’m so carefree”

My favorite Nina Simone song.

Beirut. Here is his latest video for “Concubine” from his “March of the Zapotec” album.

is very important in loving someone.

Tone, is also all that in missing someone, something, from the past.

Even if that tone be the missing words. Missing words, not missing words.
