I appreciate the influence that the Runaways had. It's a shame to see someone so young die.

Never really cared for their music but you can't deny the breaking of the gender bias in hard rock that she helped create in her co founding and success of the Runaways.

Lung cancer, probably from smoking. Suicide really. I was a big fan as a kid, but that stuff is largely unlistenable now.

Oooh, I wanted to be a Runaway so bad in the 7th grade. I hope the book gets published.

It makes me want to go out and rent "Edgeplay," the Runaways documentary.
