Neon Angel Paperback - 2011
by Cherie Currie
In this memoir, Currie, the groundbreaking lead singer of '70s teenage all-girl rock band the Runaways, presents a riveting story of girl empowerment and fame that is also an intensely personal account of her struggles with drugs, sexual abuse, and violence.
From the rear cover
At the tender age of fifteen, groundbreaking lead singer Cherie Currie joined a group of talented girls--Joan Jett and Lita Ford on guitar, Jackie Fox on bass, and Sandy West on drums--who could rock like no one else.
Arriving on the Los Angeles music scene in 1975, The Runaways catapulted from playing small clubs to selling out major stadiums--headlining shows with opening acts like the Ramones, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, and Blondie while riding a wave of hit songs and platinum albums, and touring the world.
A shocking, funny, and touching re-creation of a bygone era of rock and roll that chronicles the Runaways' rise to fame and ultimate demise, Neon Angel is also an intensely personal account of Currie's struggles with drugs, sexual abuse, and violence in a decadent, high-pressure music scene--a world of uncontrolled excess where she and her unsupervised bandmates had to grow up fast and experience things that no teenage girls should.
