My band Circus Lupus recorded a single with Joan in 1992 or so. At the time, a lot of people felt she was merely trying to establish her “original Riot Grrl” cred, but I found her one of the most genuine, present, and unique people I’ve ever spent time with. I’ll always love her.

That is so cool. Of course I don't know her but I don't see any reason to believe that she's been anything other than genuine throughout her career. I cant imagine people in 1992 thinking that she hadn't already more than earned that credit and more.

Ack! I needed an earworm warning. Crimson and Clover was on the radio (The Avenue 91.1, Community Radio in Appleton WI) last week and I kept hearing it in my head until Monday. Dang, here I go again. Joan Jett to the bone.
