Hollywood Park Presents Fan-tastic Fridays Concert series with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Joan Jett is an originator, an innovator and a visionary. As the leader of the hard-rocking Blackhearts, she’s had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” and “Crimson and Clover.” She sits at the head of her own independent label, Blackheart Records. Since co-founding the Runaways, the first all-girl band to break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts at age 15, Joan Jett’s determination and drive have kept her in the public eye. This year her profile skyrocketed yet again, with the release of both a long-awaited feature film “The Runaways” and a new, two-disc “Greatest Hits” collection. She has recently appeared on the Jay Leno Show and David Letterman. The two discs of the Greatest Hits set, present twenty blazing tracks from Jett’s three-decade-plus career. From “Cherry Bomb” through her smashes in the ‘80s and ‘90s, all the way up to the recent favorite “A.C.D.C.,” it’s a comprehensive look at one of rock’s most iconic figures. Joan Jett’s music has also had an impact on popular culture. Her version of “Love is All Around,” the theme from the Mary Tyler Moore Show, became a popular anthem for women’s sports. Her songs have also been featured in countless films, including Shrek, Charlie’s Angels, and Monster.
