"There is nothing, nor has there ever been, anything which cannot be improved upon by the presence of Joan Jett."
She is the original riot grrrrrl. And she could still out-rock anyone out there. (Except for Elvis. She respects Elvis.)
How cool is Joan Jett?
Last night, I saw a commercial that showed her performing "Bad Reputation." She's so fucking cool, it made the subject matter look cool. And the commercial was for one of those motorcycle shows (West Coast Choppers?). I immediately thought, "God damn! She makes something as fucktarded as West Coast Choppers look fucking cool!"
And I couldn't help but notice that, despite the fact she has to be pushing 50, I would still totally nail her to the fucking wall. Partly because, well, she'd fucking kick my ass if I didn't.
Hell, she covered the theme song from the fucking Mary Tyler Moore Show--which had such an incredibly pussy title of "Love Is All Around"--and turned it into a punk song that kicked more ass than the entire roster of the WWE.
She recorded a song once about picking up an underaged guy in some kind of restaurant and diner, then fucking his brains out without even finding out his name. Was there an uproar? No. Hell, the song ("I Love Rock & Roll") hit #1 and stayed there for seven fucking weeks! And it's still played during sporting events.
Beavis and Butt-Head once commented that the video for "Do You Want to Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!)" was the coolest video ever. They were right. The sight of a younger Joan Jett in a black bikini yelling at you to touch her is pretty fucking hot. Never mind that an anorexic Ethiopian boy has bigger bosoms. If you didn't think she was hot, she'd reach right out of the screen and kick your ass.
True story: I saw Joan Jett open for Def Leppard about eight years ago, in the sleepy little town of Salem, VA. I was there because A) Def Leppard kicks ass, and B) Joan Jett kicks at least 73 times as much ass. Most people who went knew little about Ms Jett. Hell, they didn't realize Def Leppard had released two majorly asskicking albums since Adrenalize back in '91 (or thereabouts). These were the onetime mullet-people who had been so popular in smalltown America in the late '80s. They recalled Def Leppard as being safe for the kids. And the only thing they recalled about Joan Jett was "I Love Rock & Roll." (Yeah, they were apparently fucktarded and it didn't click with them that the lyrics of that song could imply the singer was a little less kid-friendly overall.)
So the place was full of kids.
At the beginning of the show, Joan Jett ran out on the stage. She was clad in skintight red leather, and totally bald. No joke: aside from the lack of the antenna and creepy alien weirdness, she could've passed for Aurra Sing with a guitar instead of a rifle. The first words out of her mouth were, "I don't give a FUCK 'bout my bad reputation!"
I've never seen so many jaws drop. Dozens of hands went to cover the ears of the children. I looked at the buddy I'd gone to the concert with (now a Lutheran pastor, oddly enough), and we both said, "Fuck yeah!!" This was the sort of show I wanted to see.
By the time she got to "Fetish," with the immortal line, "I get off having rough sex," I think some of the parents had actually died of heart attacks.
But how does she make everything better? Here's one example. Y'know how the SW prequels were kinda subpar, but we forgave them in the hopes that ROTS would tie everything together, and it kinda sorta didn't? Well, imagine ROTS, exactly the same as it was released, only "I Hate Myself For Loving You" is blasting during the Mustafar battle. It now becomes the greatest movie of all time. Dispute me, and Joan Jett will fucking kick your ass.

- Joan Jett has the ability to travel through time to beat up and fuck people. How, you ask? Simple. In the year 4912, scientists finally perfected time travel. The first thing they wanted to do was bring Joan Jett to their time so they could fuck her.
