When/How did you become a Runaways fan?

[img]graemlins/broken_heart.gif[/img] I have been a runaways fan basically since before I heard even one of their songs. Then I heard Wasted in 1994, from my first Runaways album, Waiting For The Night. I figure any band with Joan Jett in it, has to be great.

p.s. There is a quick little sound effect at the beginning of "Gotta Get Out Tonite". It's a kind of **** , I think(hee hee) Who's **** is that?

So let me guess. Using the word **** is morally damaging to the youth of North America. is that the case.

I first read about The Runaways in a Cleveland,Oh newspaper interview article (written in Chicago) in June of '76. I was interested because the photo showed 5 hot teen girls from California [img]tongue.gif[/img] About a month later I saw an ad that they were coming to Cleveland to play a local small club venue.I told most of my buddies about them, but no one was willing to go see teen girls "trying" to rock.So,I went by myself.I had a front row center seat. I was amazed.Not only were they easy on the eyes,they were also competent musicians. I was hooked.Always being up for adventure, I thought I would try to meet them.After the concert,I found out from a roadie where they were staying.It was at a local hotel/bar that most rock acts passing thru Cleveland stayed at. I went there and finagled my way onto the floor where they were staying and did get a chance to see all, and meet most of them.I saw them in concert 3 more times in Ohio in '77.And a total of 10 more times in 77/78 in California.I have seen them with all their different line ups. I am, and always will be a fan of theirs.I am fortunate to have been able to see a myriad of concerts of all their individual music careers also.
