"I Love Rock and Roll". Joan Jett will always be remembered for that one great hit of hers. You have written this presentation very well with great descriptiveness and rhyming.

I can just see these gals rocking your world, James. As a teen I was in love with Don Henley (and still am today). But our tastes take shifts over the years, and now there's room for Sonia Dada (a group, not a girl) as well. When I was little, my father took me everywhere to see Herman's Hermits. Enjoyed reading of your rock star queens! Love, Carolyn
