LITA FORD On THE RUNAWAYS - "I’ve Been In The Process Of Trying To Regroup The Girls"




Vocalist /guitarist LITA FORD is featured in a new interview with
Legendary Rock Interviews discussing her new album, Living Like A
Runaway, and her career with THE RUNAWAYS. An excerpt is available
below:





LRI: It’s been a long time since The Runaways split but the band
continues to mean something to people. Movies including Victory’s
documentary have been made and books are coming out. The story
continues to be told but in a sense it’s still being written. Will the
Runaways story continue to live on?


Lita: "I hope so. I really hope it’s told correctly too and maybe
it will be up to me to see that it’s told correctly, I don’t know. I’ve
been in the process now of trying to regroup the girls. I got on the
phone with Cherie Currie who I hadn’t spoken with for a long, long time
prior to this. Joan Jett actually put me in touch with Cherie and gave
me her contact information and email and all that. I sent out an email
to Cherie and she was very happy to hear from me and we had dinner
together which was really nice. Then my manager reached out to Joan’s
manager and Joan and I had dinner together in New York City and that was
also really nice. So, to be honest, I’m trying to reach out to
everybody but unfortunately Sandy West (drummer) is not with us any
more. I just think if we got a really kick ass rhythm section we would
be okay with just me, Joan and Cherie if we can get Joan to commit to it
at some point. I know she’s busy and I’m super busy right now with this
record but hopefully by the time this is done and I’m ready to move on
to the next project the other girls will be ready as well."
