I Love Rock N Roll

I went to see Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on Saturday night. She played a free concert at a local dog track (yes, dog track...But not just any dog track, this one has slot machines!) here in southern New England. The do a free summer concert series in the month of July. It was a nice cool night, the sky was a beautiful navy blue and the weather cooperated.
It was a fun show with a pretty decent opening act. There were all sorts of people there- middle aged parents with their kids, GLBTQ of all ages, rednecks, tattooed bikers decked out in OCC and Harley gear, senior citizens, I think that some of the slots addicts from the casino even ventured outside for it. Everyone seemed in the mood to rock. And rock we did.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts sounded really good and rather clear, considering that this was an outdoor concert. I could've sworn it was like having her CD playing in the background. They debuted some songs off their new album, Naked. It was really amusing to see all of the diverse people described above bopping and with their fists pumping to songs with titles like Androgynous (really upbeat song) and Fetish (containing lyrics like "get off having rough sex", "relax while I pound your ass", and "its time to be my dog"). I had to wonder if they were even listening to what she was singing.
