The Runaways Page #10

Synopsis: In 1975, San Fernando Valley teen Joan Larkin reinvents herself as Joan Jett, a guitarist who wants to form an all-girl punk band. She pitches the idea to a sleazy manager, Kim Fowley, who pairs her with a drummer and then searches for a face: he finds Cherie Currie, at age 15, the perfect jailbait image for his purpose; by luck, she can sing. Two others round out the band, The Runaways. Fowley books a tour, signs them to Mercury Records, and packs them off to crowds in Japan. Seeds of conflict sprout early: Fowley puts Cherie front and center in the publicity, she's soon strung out on drugs and vodka, and jealousies arise. Without adult supervision, where can Joan and Cherie end up?

You're nothing but dog sh*t, mister.

931

01:
29:42,919 -- 01:29:44,628

And you...

932

01:
29:46,840 -- 01:29:49,800

...you'rejust a filthy p*ssy.

933

01:
30:24,920 -- 01:30:26,879

Pup 'n Fries.

934

01:
30:28,256 -- 01:30:30,800

Hola, Pup 'n Fries. Can l help you?

935

01:
30:31,635 -- 01:30:33,094

Marie Currie, please.

936

01:
30:33,261 -- 01:30:34,804

Cherie?

937

01:
30:35,722 -- 01:30:37,431

What are you doing?

938

01:
30:39,309 -- 01:30:42,520

I need you to come and pick me up.

939

01:
30:42,687 -- 01:30:44,688

l can't, I'm at work.

940

01:
30:44,856 -- 01:30:46,565

I have to go.

941

01:
30:50,862 -- 01:30:52,780

Places, everyone!

942

01:
30:52,948 -- 01:30:56,325

Places! Places!

943

01:
30:57,077 -- 01:30:58,911

Places.

944

01:
31:18,181 -- 01:31:20,391

Hey, you.

945

01:
31:21,393 -- 01:31:23,644

You must obey...

946

01:
31:24,479 -- 01:31:28,732

...or you will bleed.

You know I need to get my way.

947

01:
31:28,900 -- 01:31:31,235

So now you listen up.

948

01:
31:31,403 -- 01:31:35,406

You are my pup.

I beat you up in every way.

949

01:
31:36,533 -- 01:31:39,785

And when I speak to you,

you answer true.

950

01:
31:39,953 -- 01:31:42,413

I'll make you black and blue.

951

01:
31:45,083 -- 01:31:49,086

We are not to blame

for seeing love is pain.

952

01:
31:52,757 -- 01:31:55,843

We're not ashamed...

953

01:
31:58,847 -- 01:32:01,265

...to say love is pain.

954

01:
32:02,767 -- 01:32:05,728

To say that love is pain.

955

01:
32:08,273 -- 01:32:12,026

And l'll do it again!

956

01:
32:49,981 -- 01:32:52,900

People have been asking about you

at Rodney's.

957

01:
32:56,154 -- 01:32:58,197

Sorry for calling you at work.

958

01:
32:58,365 -- 01:32:59,907

It's okay.

959

01:
33:02,494 -- 01:33:04,411

How's it going over there?

960

01:
33:04,746 -- 01:33:05,996

Oh, it's a dream.

961

01:
33:06,164 -- 01:33:09,667

Especially when people come in

thinking l'm you.

962

01:
33:12,087 -- 01:33:14,797

I actually signed an autograph

the other day.

963

01:
33:15,090 -- 01:33:18,175

This guy came in

and asked for one for his daughter...

964

01:
33:18,343 -- 01:33:20,803

...but l totally knew it was for him.

965

01:
33:25,725 -- 01:33:27,434

Mom called.

966

01:
33:29,646 -- 01:33:33,023

She said they're playing "Cherry

Bomb" on the radio in Indonesia.

967

01:
33:35,110 -- 01:33:37,486

She tells everyone

you're her daughter.

968

01:
33:39,072 -- 01:33:41,699

I'm sure she tells them

she's my mother.

969

01:
33:45,954 -- 01:33:48,998

It's been a year.

You should at least talk to her.

970

01:
33:55,171 -- 01:33:56,630

Yeah.

971

01:
35:13,875 -- 01:35:16,710

Okay, that was Joan Jett

and the Blackhearts...

972

01:
35:16,878 -- 01:35:19,546

...with "I Love Rock 'N Roll."

973

01:
35:19,714 -- 01:35:21,673

Now, Joan has surprised us...

974

01:
35:21,841 -- 01:35:24,301

...by dropping by the station today.

975

01:
35:24,469 -- 01:35:25,636

Hi, Joan.

976

01:
35:25,804 -- 01:35:28,013

How are you, Rodney?

It's good to see you.

977

01:
35:28,181 -- 01:35:30,974

I was a big fan

in the English disco days.

978

01:
35:31,142 -- 01:35:34,436

Oh, l remember

when you would come into the club...

979

01:
35:34,604 -- 01:35:37,940

...and you were only

about 15 years old.

980

01:
35:38,108 -- 01:35:39,149

Yeah.

981

01:
35:39,317 -- 01:35:41,735

We used to play a lot

ofthe Runaways' music then.

982

01:
35:42,987 -- 01:35:44,947

The Runaways was my baby.

983

01:
35:45,115 -- 01:35:47,324

We were so young back then too.

984

01:
35:47,492 -- 01:35:49,159

Growing up on the road together.

985

01:
35:49,327 -- 01:35:51,161

-Hello, chop chop.

-When did you know...

986

01:
35:51,329 -- 01:35:54,289

...that you wanted to be

a rock 'n' roll musician?

987

01:
35:54,707 -- 01:35:57,292

I think I always knew. I mean...

988

01:
35:57,460 -- 01:36:00,921

...if it wasn't for rock 'n' roll,

I'd probably be dead or in jail.

989

01:
36:01,089 -- 01:36:03,048

It really saved my life.

990

01:
36:03,550 -- 01:36:08,554

-You grow up real fast on the road.

-You do. Real fast.

991

01:
36:08,721 -- 01:36:11,765

Okay, well,

we're gonna take some calls now...

992

01:
36:11,933 -- 01:36:14,685

...because we have

a lot offans waiting.

993

01:
36:18,690 -- 01:36:20,232

Caller, you're on.

994

01:
36:20,400 -- 01:36:23,360

Hi, Joan. It's Cherie.

995

01:
36:24,362 -- 01:36:26,155

Cherie?

996

01:
36:29,284 -- 01:36:31,201

How you doing?

997

01:
36:31,703 -- 01:36:33,871

I'm not dead or in jail.

998

01:
36:36,040 -- 01:36:39,001

This is Cherie Currie,

former lead singer ofthe Runaways.

999

01:
36:39,169 -- 01:36:40,294

How exciting.

1000

01:
36:40,712 -- 01:36:43,297

So, Cherie,

what have you been up to?

1001

01:
36:43,465 -- 01:36:46,383

I'm kind oftrying to do

the acting thing.

1002

01:
36:46,718 -- 01:36:50,220

Now, from what I understand,

it's been a while since you two spoke.

1003

01:
36:50,388 -- 01:36:54,391

You guys must have

lots to talk about.

1004

01:
37:02,400 -- 01:37:04,568

Or maybe not on the air.

1005

01:
37:07,322 -- 01:37:09,072

I just wanted to say hi.

1006

01:
37:09,240 -- 01:37:10,782

Yeah.

1007

01:
37:11,534 -- 01:37:13,785

Call yourfriends on your own time.

1008

01:
37:17,123 -- 01:37:18,916

Well, l gotta go, Joanie.

1009

01:
37:19,083 -- 01:37:21,710

Yeah, me too. l gotta run, Cherie.

1010

01:
37:25,590 -- 01:37:27,132

Okay.

1011

01:
37:27,300 -- 01:37:30,052

Let's get back to the music.

1012

01:
37:30,929 -- 01:37:35,265

This is another hit song from

the album, "Crimson and Clover."

1013

01:
37:35,433 -- 01:37:38,143

You're listening

to Rodney on the Rocks.
