Joan Jett vs. Brtney

Mostly female friends have said that I like tomboys, several times during my life, perhaps because I liked girls like Stephany of Monaco, Grace Jones, the bald Sinnead O'Connor or the attitude of Deborah Harry. Besides, life is hard, and have spared for me only strong women.

Then, there comes my love for Joan Jett, whose I Love Rock N'Roll was and is a fundamental song in my life. Several days ago I saw for the first time the colour version of the video, that was changed into B&W because Joan found distasteful the red clothing she was wearing during the filming. And she was right, because in B&W it looks fantastic.


Perhaps as an homage, Britney's cover changes from colour to B&W and flashes red hues several times. Although she sings with enthusiasm, the poor direction, lack of creativity and the vulgar dancings chages this classic into a table top dancer's rehearsal. This said, I am sure that my friends will find another argument to point that I like girls with attitude but, isn't it true that Rock'N'Roll will never admit weak performers?
