The Runaways
TPL DVD: This movie was kind of slow and boring. But it was interesting to know that Joan Jett had made I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll famous and also did a cover of Crimson and Clover. So, I thought she had written these songs at first, but now after doing a bit of research, she kind of just covered them. She did a lot of covers.
Kind of sucks what happened to Cherie Currie though. She had some issues and they just seemed to be highlighted by drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Good for Joan Jett for not giving up. She found something that kept her afloat and stuck with it. But other than those insights, I really didn’t like the movie or find her life that interesting. Kind of just another rock ‘n’ roll story.
