Joan Jett - Biography
Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin; September 22, 1958) is an American rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and occasional actress, best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, preceded by success with The Runaways, including their hit song "Cherry Bomb". The Blackhearts' record "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from March 20 to May 1, 1982. Their other popular recordings include "Crimson and Clover", "I Hate Myself for Loving You", "Do You Wanna Touch Me", "Light of Day", "Love Is All Around" and "Bad Reputation".
Jett has consistently refused either to confirm or deny rumors that she is lesbian or bisexual. In a 1994 interview with Out magazine she said, "I'm not saying no, I'm not saying yes, I'm saying believe what you want. Assume away—go ahead." In 2006, she also addressed the rumors that she is an open lesbian by saying, "I never made any kind of statement about my personal life on any level. I never made any proclamations. So I don't know where people are getting that from."
Jett supported Howard Dean in the 2004 election because of his opposition to the Iraq War. She has been a vegetarian for over 20 years and supports both PETA and Farm Sanctuary.
Jett first turned vegetarian because of her love of animals. After making the switch to vegetarianism, Jett learned of the environmental impacts of intensive animal farming, and became an advocate for vegetarian and vegan living. She has worked closely with PETA, including outreach projects such as handing out Vegetarian Starter Kits to the public.
