The musician on the Runaways, her best friend Kenny Laguna and her job in a cafeteria
Born in Pennsylvania, Joan Jett, 62, formed her first band, the Runaways, in 1975. After teaming up with producer Kenny Laguna, she became the frontwoman of the Blackhearts and in 1982 had a huge hit with I Love Rock’nRoll. Her track Fresh Start appears on the compilation album Good Night Songs For Rebel Girls, which is out next week. She lives in New York state.
When were you happiest?
My teenage years in the Runaways: I was still naive enough to think good things about the world and life and people, and I was having fun playing rock’n’roll around the world, living the dream.
