Joan Jett canโt see the point in a Runaways reunion โ and she thinks there would be more bad than good if it ever took place.
Lita Ford last year reported that she, Jett and Cherie Currie had settled the differences resulting from their 1980 split, that sheโd had dinner with both her former bandmates, and that the topic of getting back together had been raised.
But she added: โI donโt know how Joan feels about it. I couldnโt get a solid answer from her. If she decides she wants to put together the Runaways again, Iโd be in 100 per cent.โ
Now Jett tells LA Weekly: โI donโt really get why we should do it โ the down side is bigger than the up side. It would be fun for people to see, but youโve got to remember weโre not who we were in 1976.
โItโs not worth it to me. We had a great band that kicked ass for three and a half years. Iโm very protective of it because it was very special to me.
โTo come back and have the press judge usโฆ Plus, you canโt gauge the dynamics of the band. Iโm just not sure it would be the reunion the fans are looking for.โ
Instead, Jett is concentrating on her new album Unvarnished. She explains: โItโs some of the better writing Iโve done in a long time.
โI called this โthe decade of deathโ because I lost a lot of people who were close to me. That changes your perspective on things.
โLosing my parents was big. They were very supportive, my biggest fans. It was harder than I would have imagined. That seeped into my writing a lot, and I thought about lifeโs fragility.โhttp://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/joan-jett-no-point-in-runaways-reunion/
And besides, what dude The Gadfly's age wants to see Granny Jett strutting around in tight leather pants and overworked with a bit too much botox?
Better in The Gadfly's humble view to just leave this high school era wet dream right where it belongs - in his dreams:
Tell The Gadfly he's wrong . . . .
