Page 61 has an editorial by Tom Smucker on the rise of Joan Jett in the music World with heading: "A Joan Jett Fantasy" within a photo of her performing. (szee images)
background: Smucker praises Joan Jett for her energetic blend of punk and classic rock, highlighting her feminist spirit and strong song choices. He enjoyed her debut album and live performances, calling them almost perfect. However, he expresses concern that her polished style and growing mainstream success might compromise her rebellious edge. Overall, he sees her as a promising artist with a potentially lasting career but warns about the risks of losing authenticity.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
