Joan Jett AC DC live w/interview by Craig Ferguson

      In 1974 the British band Sweet released an album called Desolation Boulevard which included the punk influenced gender bending song ACDC.  Joan Jett covered the song and included it on her album Sinner in 2006.  Most of the songs on Sinner were previously released in Japan on the album Naked. That album included a great cover of The Replacements song Androgynous and Jett's own controversial song Fetish. Sinner included the new songs Riddle, Change the World , and the studio version of the live recording featured here ACDC. 
       Sometimes the people who decide what we hear on the radio or what records they want to promote believe time has passed an artist by when nothing could be further from the truth.  Jett had every reason to believe that Sinner would introduce her to a brand new audience and excite her older followers as well.  I believe she was 100% correct because if you liked Jett's music in the 80's then this updated more mature and savvy version of her is something you absolutely need to check out.  After the song, be sure to watch the interview segment Joan has with Craig Ferguson.
