Tragic Details About Joan Jett
Joan Jett's first music teacher told her girls couldn't play rock and roll. Her first band was panned by audiences who wouldn't accept women as rock stars. Her first solo album was rejected by 23 record labels. But that didn't stop her. This is the real-life story of Joan Jett.
Joan Jett was born Joan Marie Larkin on September 22, 1958, in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. She asked for and received her first guitar for Christmas when she was 13 years old and was told at her first lesson that girls can't play rock and roll. Luckily, Jett didn't listen and kept rocking.
Her family soon moved to West Covina, California and soon started going to the area's glam rock epicenter, Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco. She changed her last name to Jett and modeled her now-famous look of black leather, black eyeliner, and a black shag haircut after British rocker Suzi Quatro, who inspired her musically as well as aesthetically. Jett told Rolling Stone,
"What Suzi Quatro did for me was make me realise that girls could be successful playing rock and roll. I realised that if I wanted to do that, there were probably other girls like me who probably wanted to do it too."
