Jett went on to work with producer Kenny Laguna and after being rejected by 23 record labels, formed their own label, Blackheart Records, in 1980. There seems to have never been any love lost between Jett and Ford. She’s an inspiring individual and not everyone’s role model but for my “Kid thing,” it was perfect reinforcement of the “take no shit” attitude she already possessed. I Finally saw Joan live a couple of years back and was thrilled to have taken my Daughter to Her first Rock Concert and not only did Jett play as the years had never touched her but I found it fitting to be able to have her be a young lady’s first show. Both were and are still ferocious entertainers.
Jett and Ford would be the most driven and most successful in their own careers. The members were shattered after years of nonstop work, abuse of all manner from Fowley yet all regained their lives and pressed on.

Fowley died in 2015 amid a wealth of allegations from many women in the Music Industry of sexual abuse, doubtful many tears were shed in those circles. He was Villian and Savior depending on the situation. He certainly knew what he was doing, good-bad, or ugly. The band was managed and Mismanaged by the Legendary if dubious Kim Fowley. Vocalist Cherie Currie, Bassist Jackie Fox, and Drummer Sandy West were flanked by two incredible guitarists named Joan Jett and Lita Ford.
