The Rock Hall’s 2025 film series continues with an artist who is noted for her punk-tinged rock and roll and her tough-girl image: Joan Jett. Her career began with the early all-female ensemble the Runaways, and when that project dissolved in 1979, she formed Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, which hit the big time with their 1981 #1 hit “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Together with her longtime manager Kenny Laguna, she’s forged a long, lasting and successful career and was inducted into the Rock Hall in 2015.
The 2018 documentary Bad Reputation (named after her 1980 rock hit) documents the story of her career. If you wanted to know more about her back story, you’ll want to catch this screening. Go here for tickets.
