Runaways Drummer Dies

Posted over 3 years ago
"Runaways drummer Sandy West dies (from BBC News)":http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6079542.stmDrummer Sandy West, from the '70s all-female rock band The Runaways, has died of lung cancer aged 47...."We shared the dream of girls playing rock and roll. Sandy was an exuberant and powerful drummer," said Jett."I am overcome from the loss of my friend. I always told her we changed the world," she added. I'm not well-educated on the band, so I hope a fellow MOGger could add a suitable appreciation.

    The Myonics says Awesome video! Not many people know, but the Runaways were one of the biggest influences for the punk band the Germs who later had Joan Jett produce their sole album GI. Shame to hear the news though. : ( 46 is far too young.
