Last Thursday, January 31, Joan attended the premiere of Dave Grohl’s Sound City documentary and walked the red carpet. She wore the same black leather jacket with the white lining that we saw her in at the Icons of Music II benefit in 2008 with Les Paul. I love that jacket! (Have you seen it anywhere else?)

Lots of other celebrities were there too, I guess. 🙂
Sound City is a documentary directed by Dave Grohl about the legendary San Fernando Valley recording studio, which closed down in 2011. Music for The Runaways movie was recorded there, and the studio scenes in the movie were filmed there.
Visit the official Sound City website HERE. Read Rolling Stone’s review of the film HERE.

Last night, at the “Clean Energy Jobs Now!” rally (review here), I kept scouring the stage to look for The Blackhearts’ instruments. Every so often, I’d spot a black heart on something and take a picture of it. I was particularly drawn to this heart sitting on the corner of Thommy’s drum riser:
Cute little thing, isn't it?
As musical acts left and removed their instruments, more of The Blackhearts’ setup was revealed. In this picture you can see that the heart appears to be on one side of a cube, with the JJBH logo on the adjacent side:
What IS this thing?
It was only after the crew finished the band’s setup that I could see this object clearly: it looks like an official, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts logo Kleenex box!!
I have allergies, so this would really come in handy.
OK, I know it’s not really a Kleenex box, but do any of you know what it might be?
