Joan Jett
Marcelle S. Fischler wrote an article about Joan Jett which appeared in the New York Times on August 5, 2007. Read the full article (registering is required, but it’s free!) here.
WEARING a skimpy bikini top, low-slung black capri pants and high-top sneakers, Joan Jett could have passed for a teenager as she swaggered along the boardwalk near her oceanfront condominium here. On the cusp of 49, Ms. Jett, the gravelly-voiced singer and guitarist who blazed a path for female rockers with her 1982 chart-topper “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll,” wears bold eyeliner and has inky black hair, several tattoos, a creamy complexion and a taut physique.
A vegetarian who neither smokes nor drinks, she says, “most days I feel 25.”
Though she bicycles on the boardwalk and whips off 50 sit-ups during television commercials, she says her toned, sinewy arms and washboard abs are mostly a result of her grueling performance schedule — about 200 concerts in the past year and a half.
I just added a recent Joan Jett YouTube interview to my workout journal. Jett discusses her new album Sinner as well as other interesting items - Howard Dean, Cal Ripken, Aerosmith. A great interview worth ten minutes for any Joan Jett fan.
