In 1975, San Fernando Valley teen Joan Larkin reinvents herself as Joan
Jett, a guitarist who wants to form an all-girl punk band. She pitches the
idea to a sleazy manager, Kim Fowley, who pairs her with a drummer and then
searches for a face: he finds Cherie Currie, at 15 the perfect jailbait
image for his purpose; by luck, she can sing. Two others round out the
band, "The Runaways." Fowley books a tour, signs them to Mercury Records,
and packs them off to crowds in Japan. Seeds of conflict sprout early:
Fowley puts Cherie front and center in the publicity, she's soon strung out
on pills and vodka, and jealousies arise. Without adult supervision, where
can Joan and Cherie end up?
Videos stop working when youtube (or youtube clones) deletes the video. Youtube will delete ANY video when someone complains. So tell us when a video is deleted so it can be replaced with a another copy. Thank you for your understanding.
