With Twilight star Kristen Stewart set to portray Joan Jett in an upcoming Runaways biopic, a new hits collection on the way and even a Christmas album on Jett’s Blackheart label, Rolling Stone caught up with rock’s original tough gal and her longtime co-writer/manager Kenny Laguna to chat about Pete Townshend, being burned by Clive Davis and recording the perfect cover.

I’ve seen Joan Jett many times throughout the years, and all of the shows were 100% Pure Rock & Roll! she always gives her all in every performance! She always gives her all in every performance.I remember the first time I saw Joan Jett, I was 16 years old. It was the most amazing punk rock show I’ve ever seen. It was 1978 at New York’s Palladium. The opening act was “Suicide”, and then “Joan Jett & The Runaway’s” and then the main act were “The Ramones”. I can’t believe I witnessed a show like this. It was AMAZING!

Joan Jett is the epitome of Rock n’ Roll. No one represents it like she does.
She deserves so much more recognition.

I got to meet Joan in 2006 in Boston. Her show was amazing (as always) but she was so damn cool and down to earth with everbody she met in the meet-and-greet.
She is rocks’s original tough girl…but she is a sweetheart to her fans and we all appreciated it!!
Love you Joan!!!
