Having just reviewed the new movie, The Runaways, I thought this was funny: Joan Jett bashes Rush:
In the new film biopic about the band titled The Runaways, Jett (played by Kristen Stewart) is derided by an unidentified rock group they’re opening for. She later retaliates by breaking into their dressing room and urinating on one of their guitars.
Jett doesn’t hesitate to identify the real-life inspiration for the scene.
“Rush! They sat on the side of the stage and laughed at us,” Jett says. “That sort of stuff pisses me off.”

Now that's hilarious. I wonder why Rush would laugh at rock wannabe Joan? Maybe because back in the days when you put another dime in the juke box, baby, you wouldn't waste it on her one hit – last hit, two chord talent?
Jeepers! Don't like Joan Jett, eh? While I'm not a huge fan, I certainly don't hate her like you do. Pete Townshend knew – what? – 3 chords?
And she really wasn't a one-hit wonder:
