I saw Joan Jett perform once. Well, sorta. She was in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. But I was there in person. After 950 posts, you loyal readers thought you knew everything about me, didn’t you?
But yeah, Joan’s name came up recently. We were talking about hockey, and somebody wondered why the Chicago team is still allowed to be called the Black Hawks. It would take more than this humble blog to sort that all out. But I mentioned that, as far as I knew, Joan Jett’s band was still called the Black Hawks. Well, despite having seen Joan perform, I was wrong. Her band of course is called The Black Hearts.
I, like many, associate Black Hearts with Black Lung Disease. Not sure why anyone would name their band after something like that. Maybe the Black Hawks get to keep their name ‘cause it’s less offensive than Black Hearts…
