It’s that thing that made parents afraid to let their kids go see Chuck Berry, because Chuck Berry was gonna run off with their daughters. Because socially, rock and roll means sexuality. What you’re saying is, socially, girls aren’t supposed to play rock and roll. What does the statement “Girls can’t play rock and roll” even mean? Are you saying that girls can’t master an instrument? Because I remember as a kid being in band class with girls who played the cello, who played the violin, who could play Beethoven and Bach pieces. And even as a kid it didn’t make sense to me. I’m guessing that was something you heard on more than one occasion.

GW There’s a scene in the movie where your character is told that girls can’t play rock and roll. To me, the Runaways as a band is more the environment in which the movie is set. The focus is more on Cherie, myself and Kim. It’s not the definitive word on the Runaways. That said, I also think the movie has been mischaracterized as a biopic. So maybe it will introduce the Runaways to people who have never heard of us and lead them to explore what we did and listen to the music.
This is a real Hollywood movie, with real movie stars. JOAN JETT Hopefully the film will change that a little bit. GUITAR WORLD Despite the growing appreciation for the Runaways over the years, in the larger music landscape they’ve remained very much a cult act. “If you don’t, it’s a hard thing to fake.” “If you feel strong, if you feel sexy, then you act that way,” Jett says. At 51, the self-described barre-chord basher is as brash and defi ant as ever. Today, Jett continues to tour with the current incarnation of the Blackhearts and is preparing to record a new studio album, her first since 2006’s Sinner. These and other solo tracks (as well as a handful of re-recorded Runaways classics) are collected on a new two-CD compilation, Greatest Hits. She launched a solo career, founded her own record label, Blackheart (a word she also appropriated for the name of her band, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts) and proceeded to rack up single successes like 1981’s “Bad Reputation,” 1988’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You” and 1982’s “I Love Rock ’n Roll,” her smash hit cover of the 1975 Arrows original. Following the Runaways dissolution in a mess of drugs, ego clashes and mismanagement, Jett, in characteristic form, continued to bash her way through the largely male-dominated rock landscape.
