CLEVELAND – Joan Jett couldn’t keep her rough rocker edge for long.
Once she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jett was overcome by the moment and moved to tears.
“I tried not to cry and be tough,” she said, her black mascara starting to run.
Jett and other music legends were welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday night, an evening made special with two of the Beatles set to come together and play.
Ringo Starr, previously enshrined with the Beatles in 1988, is being inducted along Jett and The Blackhearts, pop punks Green Day, soul singer-songwriter Bill Withers, underground-rock icon Lou Reed, bluesy guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and The “5” Royales.
