Awesomeness of? Or something else? Her recent guesting with Nirvana made me look up her old videos. Not bad, just it looks like someone made her put on a bikini and show her fit bod for the "Do Ya Wanna Touch" video. Maybe she didn't mind, maybe she did. Fuck do I know.
""Crimson & Clover", her version remains an extraordinary song- her not changing the pronoun for one thing, It's still def. a love song to a girl. Quite something for 1982. I realize Joan's never said it, but she doesn't need to. An old live clip video of her doing the song- well, she didn't wink at the camera, but I'd like to think maybe some teen lesbian got it,somehow. Like Pet Shop Boys did for me, sending coded signals in a less enlightened age.
What I meant to say is that Joan Jett rocks. I just wish it hadn't taken so long, I wish she had rawked more. But I don't blame her for getting fed up with the Industry and preferring a private quiet life. Just rambling here.

I've seen her numerous times over the years and she never disappoints. Like Cheap Trick, you pretty much know what you're gonna get going in but I always leave just as excited as if it was my first time. Love her. And she was great with Nirvana.

Some guy on reddit edited all the cell phone clips of Joan and Nirvana together. Enjoy.
And here's the Lorde and Nirvana one playing "All Apologies".

I've never seen her live. Or interviewed her. A personal failing -- I wish I'd done both.
