Last night while scrolling through Twitter, I came across this tweet from the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts page.
It was a link to a concert that’s never been shown before and it was a nice treat to watch that seeing as I’m stuck at home all weekend. In honor of that, I’ve decided to put up links to online articles and interviews with Joan Jett. Then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions, as always.
‘We Had To Do It Ourselves’: Joan Jett Looks Back On Being A Conduit For Women In Rock - This is a good summation of her life and career. I love that her career started out with a music teacher telling her, “Girls don’t play rock and roll.”
7 Things You Didn’t Know About Joan Jett - The most interesting thing I found out here wasn’t about Joan Jett, but the fact that L.A. punk band, The Germs wanted Paul Revere and the Raiders lead singer, Mark Lindsay to produce their first album.
Joan Jett: Built to Rock - An interesting article from Rolling Stone, I had no idea Joan Jett was a stoner!
Top 29 Joan Jett Facts - I knew most of these, but I didn’t know about number 20. Now I need to go find that episode on YouTube!
Joan Jett discography - This is a complete discography that also has trivia, facts and a list of all of her videos. There’s also some good references there.
Joan Jett: ‘My Lot in Life Is to Battle’ - There’s a great quote from Iggy Pop in this NY Times 2018 article: “Joan Jett was nobody’s sidecar.”
Joan Jett on Letterman in 1987 - I like this video because in addition to the great song, there’s a fun interview at the end of it.
Monday: I sample another frozen pizza for this week’s Saturday Night Frozen Pizza Social Distancing Edition. Last night I tried a Chicago’s Home Run Inn frozen pizza, which I’ve never had before. Tune in to see how it was.
Tuesday: This is the day when I usually post something from a food tour, I thought I’d start posting items from food tours of the past, I’m not totally sure how I’m going to do this as I’m kind of winging all of this while I’m stuck inside till all of this shit is over!
Wednesday: Since we can’t go to bars for awhile, I’m going to post photos of people holding drinks and you can have a virtual bar moment here on MBIP.
Thursday: I’m going to whip up a Thursday Minute Marty Quarantine Meal for your dining pleasure!
Friday: I don’t know what I’m doing Friday, but I’ll think of something.
Saturday: I’ll be spotlighting yet another sandwich on the weekly Sandwiches of Peoria!
Okay, I’m going to go and wash my hands now. You do the same and remember to practice social distancing and hopefully this shit will be over soon! Stay safe and be well!
