Joan Jett-Queen of Rock n' Roll

Joan Jett's my idol. She should be the known as the 'Queen of Rock n' Roll,' she's so good. She's a groundbreaking singer, being that she started the first girl group, Runaways w/ Cherie Curry in '75. Their hit song is Cherry Bomb. After Runaways disbanded in '79, she went solo and started her own recording label, Blackheart Records. She started her own recording label cuz her album was rejected by recording companies in the US. Her self-titled debut was released in Europe on May 17, 1980. She then started her own band,  Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Their most popular song is I Love Rock 'n Roll. I Love Rock 'n Roll was a hit for the first half of 1982 for 7 weeks in a row; it is Billboard #28 song of all time.
Although she started out as a teen, she didn't let fame go to her head. She kept a levelhead. She didn't let peer pressure get to her. In this day and age, that's an admirable quality because a lot of stars from Young Hollywood think they're invincible so they're willing to try anything, which include drugs, alcohol, anything. I saw her movie Runaways, she really didn't try any drugs or let peer pressure get to her. She just focus on being successful, on what she loves to do. To me, she's gold. She'll always be gold, forever n' ever, shining like the star she is.
