What the fuck are you talking about? I think Joan Jett is  great. I wasn't into all of her songs, but I do love that one.

The guy who co wrote it was Alan Merrill.

Oh and Boru, before you go accusing me of posting "Bad Reputation" fast forward 30 seconds into the video.

I don’t click on many of your links, certainly not this one. All I’m going to accuse you of is incorrectly referring to the song as Joan Jett’s. Her version was a cover.

And it really isn’t that great a song. It’s ok.

And before you snap like a worn-out corset, my pointing out that Jett covered the song is NOT a criticism of her.  I think she’s talented, dead sexy and has made one helluva career of taking other peoples’ songs and singing the guts out of them.
