Joan Jett trying to close down cancer charity album
A bunch of bands covering The Runaways - a nice tribute to Joan Jett, and a way of raising funds for a cancer charity. Who could have a problem with that?
Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, it turns out:
The two-disc album, "Take It or Leave It: A Tribute to the Queens of Noise," features covers of songs by the Runaways, which launched the careers of Jett and Currie. It's supposed to be released June 28.The label, Main Man records, say they've not seen the lawsuit and don't appear to have even been contacted by Jett or Currie.
Jett and Currie say in their lawsuit that the Easton, N.J.-based record label used their names to promote the album without their permission.
