Joan Jett is opening up about being a woman in rock and roll as part of the release press for the two graphic novels she’s released to commemorate the 40th anniversaries of her "Bad Reputation" and "I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll" albums.
She says she’s not as badass, “mean,” or “scary” in real life as people think she is. She says her reputation is the result of her “armor” that she built to protect herself during her teenage years with the all-girl band the Runaways, telling Yahoo “If you’re a naïve, trusting person – which I tend to be – you gotta watch your a**.”
Jett is also showing off her softer side on her newly-released album "Changeup," an unplugged record featuring acoustic remakes of some of her biggest hits, including the Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb.” She said, “This is kind of really stepping into the unknown for me and the band, but we’re having a great time.”
