Summary
"Well, what were you thinking? Publicize the music! Not your crotch!"
The Runaways completely changed what was possible for women in rock music, and the stories of Cherie Currie and Joan Jett are the stuff of legend. This week, The Wives Colangelo are taking the 2010 biopic about the band starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, and discussing the exploitation of teenage girls by the music industry and what it means when something brilliant is born out of absolute rot.
