Joan Jett, three Blackhearts, and Dave's band perform "Don't Surrender" from "Notorious". Don't surrender Joan, even if Dave gives you a hard time about a Blackheart on tamborine during the interview.
People talk crap about Joan's hair during this period, but I tell ya, it's not bad! Surely, I can't be the only one who notices her resemblance to Isabella Rossellini here?! The look worked for Isabella, so it works for Joan too; she looks very Italian-model chic.
I can see the sadness in your eyes Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide It can be a long an' lonely ride But it makes ya strong inside When you're down an' out the streets get rough You need love but ya just don't enough An' ya feel like no one's on your side When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it Don't surrender don't surrender Cause the fight inside your hearts Your best defender don't surrender Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown An' there ain't enough luck to go around All your dreams they crash right to the ground You wanna get right outta town You can say "What the hell I've given up lay down to die" but it's just a bluff Cause ya know there's no place left to hide Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded Don't surrender don't surrender Cause the fight inside your hearts Your best defender don't surrender Don't give up when ya know you right When you're feelin all alone just remember Don't surrender When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it Don't surrender Don't surrender
I have been madly in love with JJ since I was about 13. Her hairstyle doesn't work here though. She has the most beautiful face on earth. However, her hair looks so much better long.
This should have been a Top 20 hit but the radio stations decided they'd rather play "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann for the 150 billionth time instead.
All right, Letterman's an a-hole, but he's paid to be an a-hole...it's his job description. So, Letterman's an a-hole, and this is a stunningly beautiful song. Joan Jett looks like some sort of extraterrestrial Queen with that haircut and outfit she's wearing. Come to straighten out us earthlings with some kickass rock n roll. Hey, *we* surrender, Joan...and we LOVE it....
