I Love Rock N' Roll - Joan Jett and the Black Hearts
Went to the Alhambra Summer Jubilee event tonight and saw the performance of Joan Jett and the Black Hearts.
I must confess - before today I didn't even know who Joan Jett is. When I first saw their performance, I thought to myself: "Let's see what kind of local band perform tonight". After listening for a while, I started to feel that this band can't be just a local band; the singer sang exceptionally well and their performance was professional and full of passion. However, a famous band wouldn't perform at a small event in a small city like Alhambra, at which no one had to pay anything to watch the show, right?
And it turned out that I was totally wrong.
Man! They're not only famous; Joan herself was named "The girl Elvis" and "Godmother of Punk". Their song I Love Rock N' Roll ranks no. 28 of all time on Billboard. Talking about how ignorant I'm in American music. Damn.
Joan, you and your band just rock. Someday I hope I can see your live performance again. Keep up with the good work :)
