I just re-watched ''EdgePlay'' and the ending always chokes me up......
Watching Sandy in , I assume her last interview about The Runaways breaks my heart. Sandy just wanted to perform as The Runways one last time and it never happen.
Anyone who has a heart or really cares & loves ''THE RUNAWAYS'' and doesn't choke up or get a lump in their throat after watching Sandy's Interview at the end of EdgePlay .... Well, you were never a fan in the first place.....
Never met you Sandy or seen you perform live , but I know their is a special place for you in rock n roll heaven with the great drummer's and angels above......
RIP - SANDY WEST !

Same here. I always read that all Sandy wanted to do is play drums again in a band. To bad she and Joan just didn't continue on together. I'm thankful for that film especially since Sandy is gone now.

Same here. Also, to hurt yourself physically does not always mean you're trying to kill yourself. Jackie and Cherie both said she had had it and that was the last straw. Most people go over the edge when trying to keep it together until they explode which can clearly come out as throwing things, hurting yourself, screaming. Nothing new. I'm just glad Cherie helped her when she needed it, for whatever reason she needed it. I totally believe what Cherie said about it in Edgeplay because Jackie would have edited it, if it wasn't accurate.

Jackie said herself that she thought she needed some help..and that is So like Cherie to burst past everyone! to get into that room...and help Jackie!!...

For whatever the reason Jackie may have needed help she has been very clear it wasn't a suicide attempt. More likely she was stressed out by everything that was going on and the bass breaking was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yes, she said it wasn't a suicide attempt on that other thread, so I asked her what did happen. No answer yet.

I seem to remember her saying she had broken a glass in her room. I can't remember what she said exactly; something like she dropped a glass in the sink or something like that.

I have Edgeplay downloaded on my computer so of course I just clicked on it to hear it from Jackie & Cherie and this is what they said.
There was a food service tray in Jackie's room and it had a bottle on it. Jackie picked up the bottle and threw it at the wall and it broke and Jackie started hating herself and said I hate you and starting cutting her arm. Cherie grab Jackie and was trying to get the glass away from Jackie's hands and it was cutting both of them. Cherie said she doesn't even remember how she got the glass away from Jackie's hand and then it was over.
Joan Jett has talked about how she releases pain & energy when things have gone wrong in her life. Joan talked about getting her ear pierce or a tattoo to release pain and energy and who knows what else.
I totally get it and understand what their talking about.
I think we should drop this subject cause It has to be painful for Jackie to even talk about. Rather it be a suicide attempt or not this was a very painful time for Jackie and we are just opening a wound.

Hey guys,
It's not painful to me to talk about, but it would be nice if you got it right. Not a suicide attempt and Cherie wasn't there when it happened. She showed up after the incident was over (and was very helpful, just not in the way she's reported it). Thanks for being concerned about me, though.
Now what IS painful is the recent nastiness here (no matter who started it and who egged it on). If it happens again, I'll just stop posting here. I understand all too well that it's hard not to get into it when someone starts getting personal ,but it's best to walk away until you stop steaming. If you still feel like responding, you'll be able to do it calmly, without adding to the ugliness. I'm not saying don't express your opinion, just do like grown-ups. You guys and gals are better than that.
Okay, that's enough about that.

Thanks for clarifying in your own words what happen. It really doesn't matter anyway. The main thing is that you survived your ordeal whatever that may be the bass breaking or just everything in the band. I'm just glad you are okay.I want you here Jackie and I want Cherie here too. I agree that all the ugly drama has got to stop. The best think I find is to totally ignore the person who is causing the drama and that helps. If people feed fuel to the fire it just gets out of control. I'm glad last week was a quiet week and I hope it stays that way. Everyone lets be kinder to each other and what an honor it is to have two member's of The Runaways with us. We can all be civil and RESPECT them & each other or they will leave and many will leave with them.

Ok, so when you quoted from Edgeplay the story started coming back to me; it's been a while since I watched it. If I could ever get five minutes to myself I would love to sit down and take the time to watch it again.

Jackie, I just want to say that regardless of what happend or how something was reported I am sorry that you found yourself in a dark or painful place then...Lord knows it is no fun! before during or after Im glad that you had someone like Cherie to be there for you...we should all be so lucky! As far as the board goes its heartbreaking to see all the hateful attacks and nasty remarks...posted here...they may be just words but after a time...it can really get to ya! there are those who probably...deserve some of that but Cherie is not one of them! Peace & God Bless!

Those of us who have been around this board a long time know that nastiness is nothing new here. There have been outbreaks in the past that were just as bad if not worse than the most recent one and sorry to say that more often than not it involved someone defending their favorite band mate while insulting another one which turned into a vicious cycle and ultimately turned into personal attacks. The last few days are some of the calmest I remember around here and I think that both Jackie and Cherie deserve the credit by coming here and despite their differences displaying banter that never got beyond stating their thoughts peacefully. I would also like to again thank Cherie for really listening to me and responding in a manner that enabled us to get past our less than stellar history on these boards. Kudos to both women.
