hi everyone I've just signed up for this cuz I think it looks like its got some pretty awesome people on here. I'm from Britain and only got into the Runaways a few months ago but I fricking LOVE them!!! The one I like especially is Cherie, because I find her life incredibly inspiring, and it has helped me through some very horrible times over the past months, so I just wanted to say thank u to her and that she enjoys much success in the future x.

...neither here in the USA, uk45. Mainly because they were a female rock band in an era of "macho" rock and roll.
There's a movement here to have The Runaways inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Oh! And by the way, welcome to the forum. Not that I am entitled to say it 'cause I've been here only a few months... :-)
Both Joan and Cherie have published books this year where they talk about their experience in The Runaways.
And I take it that you've seen the Hollywood film "The Runaways"? The DVD/Blu Ray version has good "extra" features with comments by Cherie, the director, Dakota Fanning ("Cherie Currie") and Kristen Stewart ("Joan Jett").
And let's not forget the documentary by Runaways bassist (post-Jackie) Vicky Blue named "Edgeplay - A Film About The Runaways" (2004).
Later,
--- Tony

Welcome it's good to have another UK member. They were quite popular in the '70's just needed a little bit of luck to have made it here. The first tour got a lot of interest maybe they should have stayed here for a bit.
