About this product

Product Information

In this candid autobiography, Cherie Currie-the original lead singer of '70s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways-powerfully recounts her years in the band, her friendship with guitarist Joan Jett, and her struggle with drugs. An intense, behind-the-scenes look at rock music in the gritty, post-glam era, Neon Angel is a must-read for anyone whose heart beats to the rhythm of David Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Nick Gilder, and the Sex Pistols, and for every fan of the movie it inspired: The Runaways, starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as Cherie Currie and Joan Jett.

    Definately worth reading!

    I have been a runaways fan since they released their first albun,and I always did feel that they never got a fair shake from the so-called"rock critics". All I expected from this book was the story of a few bad hair days and a couple of band member cat fights,but Cherie Currie really had a rough life,I never would have guessed! Once I started reading this book,I couldn't put it down,I enjoyed the Runaways movie,but the story told here would have made a better film,in my opinion.
