About this product

Product Information

Bad Reputation is the unexpurgated story of Joan Jett, the single most exciting rocker of the American 1980s, one of the biggest-selling acts of the age, and one of punk rocks most valued elder statespeeps. Through its pages, a welter of exclusive interviews and observations paint what might well be the last great tale of rock hedonism, but one that comes with a twist in its tail. The rockers are women, the groupies are guys. It could have been the plot line for a movie or even a sitcom, but the Runaways, Jetts first band, made it happen, and Jett made it last. 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 "I 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, Americas number one Queen of Noise.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Joan Jett's story start to end, brought a kind of closure / finality to me.

    I have to admit, I bought this book because it was on sale. Jett never revealed too much about her deeper self anyway, so I wasn't expecting any real revelations. What's in this book isn't too far removed from what's already out there. But, I was curious to see how a story of her career could be told in book form and not be too depressing. Jett really only had one musical bombshell for the world - the rest was somewhere between grimacing and polite golf claps. Well, the author managed to pull it off I guess. But - music is secondary to the Jett experience anyway. She's the Marilyn Monroe of tomboys, as well as their Martin Luther King. It boggles the mind that this "shy girl" could do what she did, when she did, and how. She inspires anyone to go beyond shortcomings and share ...

  • Bad Reputation book.
