(CROWD SHOUTING AND CHEERING) EVELYN: Shortly thereafter that,
they fired Kim Fowley. I think Kim's
biggest mistake in life was not recognizing
that Joan Jett was his great star

of the band by the industry because the industry
was so focused on Cherie and the blonde-bombshell look,
and that's haunted not just the music business
but all entertainment formats, TV and film, for years
