Awesome.

Can someone refresh me... which band member was it that got carried around by Tom Cruise while screaming at the top of her lungs for hours on end?

Considering one's dead, and the other guitar player can't stand Joan, it's not much of a reunion, now, izzit?

I wonder how many To Catch a Predator episodes will take place outside the theater showing the Runaways movie?

Hmmm, maybe they'll have the Bangles open up for them. I can't wait to miss this tour. They should do will with the LGBT crowd, though.

I thought the comment about "not worked together since 77, can't wait to play with my old pal" to be a gem. I guess $$ can change minds.

Who died? Sandy West or Jackie Fox?

Go see the movie, kids! Be sure to buy the rereleased Cherry Bomb single performed by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart on iTunes! And then go buy all the clothes they wore in the movie at Hot Topic! And be sure to ask mom and dad to take you to the reunion tour show because that would put them in such a great mood you asked that they'll pay for everything!

Long live rock and roll!

Partied with an incarnation of the Blackhearts last summer in Raleig, NC, Joan stayed in her hotel room. So I'm getting a kick out of these replies

Sandy died a couple years ago.

Lita Ford would disagree with you in a loud violent manner.

I hope the members who aren't Lita Ford or Joan Jett have learned to play their instruments at some point in the last 30 years.

/Likes the Runaways, but c'mon, they were awful live.

Also? Jackie Fox is now Jacqueline Fuchs, who gave up music for law. And Lita Ford is supposedly happy to be a stay-at-home mom living off the coast of Florida.

From Rolling Stone last year:

Ford also offered her thoughts on the upcoming Runaways movie, Cherry Bomb, which features Twilight star Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett. "I just want people to know that I have nothing to do with that film," Ford clarifies. "Joan's manager offered to buy the rights to my life story for a thousand bucks. I thought that was pretty disgusting - we never even replied."

That said, is Lita still in touch with Joan? And could they ever work together again? "Well, I just gave you an answer about what I thought of their film. Their manager has managed to cause a war between us - this has been going on since 1985. So far, I've kept my mouth shut, and I don't know how somebody like him can spend so much time trying to destroy somebody else's career. Joan and I have done nothing to hurt each other. I've always loved Joan. I don't know what the problem is with him - he really goes out of his way to fark me up. I despise him for it. But there's a place in my heart for Joan that will always be there."

One of the local PBS stations is broadcasing a Leonard Cohen concert from the Isle of Wight, 1970 which means I won't have to hear that farking 'Hallelujah' cuz he hadn't written it yet.

Were the runaways any good? Cherry Bomb is a catchy single, but that's all I ever heard from them.

We're they any good??? They farking ROCKED you heathen. Go to the youtubes and check 'em out.

Man I loved those chicks when I was in high school. My favorite was Lita because of her, uh, charms and because she played guitar. But Joan was the real, true rocker. Ahh, what memories.

I once knew a guy who was friends with a girl whose cousin knew the guy who cut the lawn for one of the Runaways. No lie.

Did you listen to it? It was a terrible album. The worst I've heard in a decade.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, featured an 18 year old Diane Lane naked, and running around in a see through top for half the movie, so I don't see how.
