Let's get the facts straight.
There is Fanny. I was in it. Started way before the Runaways and signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1968.
Birtha also on a major label before Runaways
Goldie And the Gingerbreads also on a major label way before the Runaways.
The Runaways were put together by a sleazy promo guy who ripped off everyone in the industry.. no names used here.
It was a prefab group who had no depth and were a bunch of druggies.
No real viable music ever came out of it.
I do respect Joan for finally getting clean. Way to go Joan!!!
I was at their Record showcase when these guys were trying to get a deal.
The band Fanny was invited. So there ya go. The truth behind the crap.
Thanks for the article on Joan.
