Queen Joan Jett Joins Against Me! Onstage in New York

Sings Replacements' 'Androgynous' with Laura Jane Grace
By ROLLING STONE JUNE 9, 2012 7:10 PM Joan Jett took the stage with Against Me! last night at Terminal 5, joining singer Laura Jane Grace for a cover of the Replacements' 1984 track, "Androgynous." Grace, who came out as transgender to Rolling Stone last month, made her live debut under her new name two weeks ago in San Diego. Jett's 2006 album Sinner features a cover of the same song, whose lyrics celebrate changing gender images: "Same hair, revolution / Unisex, evolution / Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss." Source

I'm pretty sure the song was about androgyny being trendy...but cool of Joan Jett to show up!

Nah, it's pretty clearly implying that gender roles should become outdated concepts.

"Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now"

The Replacements = greatest American band of the 80s

I agree with this.

I think they're kinda overrated. I only loved Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take the Trash Out. I like when they were more of a punk band. I couldn't get into Let It Be.

IA from far away, but in close up photos her obvious plastic surgery freaks me out.

get it
numbedtoe 10th-Jun-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
just induct her into the rock and roll hall of fame already.
roguewave3 10th-Jun-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
Ugh, it pisses me off RHCP and Guns and Roses got in before her this year.
shoutingasong 10th-Jun-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
She's not in it already?!
roguewave3 10th-Jun-2012 06:46 am (UTC)
She was up this year but wasn't voted in. :(

Omg, a Joan Jett post? Thank you, OP.

Also, good luck to Laura with everything. ♥

I love that instead of downplaying the issue, AM! are addressing it head on. Real fans will stick with the band.

Plus I think Laura Jane Grace is hot!
highorlow 10th-Jun-2012 05:45 am (UTC)
love joan jett, love against me!, love the replacements, love laura, love trans* visibility - so all in all, i'd say this is a pretty decent video :)
imarobotic 10th-Jun-2012 05:48 am (UTC)
joan looks INCREDIBLE. i need her anti-aging secrets tbh.
roguewave3 10th-Jun-2012 06:40 am (UTC)
She definitely had her face done. It looked pretty obvious for awhile but I think it's settled now. She looks incredibly here.
phammypak 10th-Jun-2012 05:57 am (UTC)
One of my favorite songs by The Replacements.
shoutingasong 10th-Jun-2012 07:03 am (UTC)
A+. So bummed I missed them in SF because I had other plans that weekend. Eh, hopefully they'll be around again soon.

I wonder if anyone managed to look at James' rash at the show... He was freaking out about it on Twitter. lol.
arizonagal 10th-Jun-2012 07:20 am (UTC)
i love against me! AND laura jane grace. such a babe.

Perfect people being perfect. <3

I'm pretty sure if I ever met Joan, she'd say hello, and I'd just start taking off my clothes. She's sexy.
