Bad Reputation - The Unauthorized Biography of Joan Jett

Bad Reputation is the unexpurgated story of Joan Jett. It contains exclusive interviews and observations of one of the most exciting rockers of the American 1980s, one of the biggest-selling acts of the age. The first serious female rocker of the 1980s, Jett became the template for everyone that followed. But unlike so many of her peers and counterparts, she never lost her credibility, never sold out, and never gave up. And she has backed her reputation up with genuine star power, following the chart-topping ""€œI Love Rock 'n' Roll” – one of the most played '80s anthems of all time – with “Crimson and Clover,” “Do You Wanna Touch Me,” and “I Hate Myself for Loving You” before the decade ended. And, while the 1990s saw Jett purposefully step away from the spotlight, she remained, and remains, America's number one Queen of Noise. ©2011, 260 pages.
