The name Joan Jett is familiar, but the music didn't ring many bells. These are troubled, rebellious teens who managed to achieve success in the music biz, but trouble remained. I almost found it interesting that "girls don't play electric guitars" was the rule, but their future promoter is intrigued by just that. Per Wikipedia, the band formed in '75.
Just doesn't interest me.
