I’m a big Joan Jett fan. Actually, I’m a big fan of 70s rock music in general. To quote The Mister, “For someone who’s never smoked pot, you sure do like loadie music.” But, that’s neither here nor there. Today I was enjoying this video (several times) on You Tube while researching high school reunions (I’m planning my 20th in 2010). I haven’t heard this song in probably 20 years. I enjoyed it so much, I tried to think of a way to make a post out of it. I came up empty. Fate had other plans.
Fun, right? I was back in the 80s before the first “oh yeah.” (As an aside–who knew Joan Jett had such a figure? Wowza.) Anyway, after that quick walk down memory lane I started on dinner. Then I called The Mister and told him to pick up diapers. It was all very glamorous, and I felt just like Joan Jett in that bikini while I did it.
Two hours later, The Mister came home. Said hello, and dropped the diapers on the kitchen floor. Chatted up the boys. Laughed when I told him I was planning my 20th reunion. Then he told me he was going to go change out of his work clothes.
Down the hall he went, and out of nowhere started humming “Do You Wanna Touch Me” by Joan Jett. The same song I watched on You Tube two hours previously. When I asked him why he was singing that song, a song I heard 2 hours prior for the first time in decades, he just shrugged his shoulders and said he had no idea.
For my next trick, I will make 50 pounds disappear from each thigh.

Ok, when I read this: Down the hall he went, and out of nowhere started humming “Do You Wanna Touch Me” – I thought the post was totally going somewhere else. ;-)

LOL, same here. Perhaps the Mister was in the mood ;) Very strange though, I love when stuff like that happens, thanks for sharing! Good luck with the reunion stuff!

LOL…I think he was asking one hot mama (who’s just lost 30 lbs) to touch him!!!! ;) That is pretty cool when stuff like that happens. We just finish each other’s sentences with obscure words/phrases! (but it’s actually the thing the other person was going to say!!!!)

so, how do you feel about kristen stewart (of “twilight” (the movie) fame) playing joan jett in a movie about the runaways?

Blasphemy!
I had no idea. I just don’t like that girl’s acting style. She’s completely emotionless and does these weird gaspy/breathy sounds when she wants to convey something other than “deadpan.” I saw her in Panic Room but didn’t make the connection to Twilight until I read it somewhere. This sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.
freakin awesome!
Oh no! I love Kristin Stewart in Twilight, lol. Have you seen the Twilight Spoof Trailer? Cracked me up :)

You and my husband can go see the biopic together. He LOVES Joan Jett–I even got him a “WWJJD” t-shirt last year for his birthday.
