Now back to the film parts that I didn't like...the plot goes something like outcasts form band, band manager is weird and only focused on money, band becomes awesome, they do drugs, they get addicted to drugs, almost die, get jealous of the lead singer, break up, and one goes on to anonymity while the other becomes THE Joan Jett. That's it; the reason that I'm posting now is because I absolutely adore the songs....a bit guiltily I might add. They're lyrics are just as cliche as the movies writing, but they're so catchy. Every time I hear Cherry Bomb I want to just flat out dance, and when I hear Dead End Justice I want to break something.
This movie really showed me that I idolize crazy people, and when I say crazy people I mean the people who are fearless and don't care about anything but being awesome. I think that this must stem from my innate ability to follow rules in utter, begrudged silence. I want to be the exact opposite of what I am and it's a really pressing problem that I don't have the guts to jump out on a limb and go crazy for once.
I guess I'll just have to settle for The Runaways and Fight Club to satisfy my need for rebellion.
Here are links to the songs from the movie, which I personally prefer over the originals. I know, blasphemy! It's not my fault recording quality sucked in the seventies! CHERRY BOMB; DEAD END JUSTICE
Let's go do something crazy then. Like paint my face.

Of course not! I'm watching Modern Family, but that's probably not a surprise either.
