Rape, Drugs, and Rock ‘N’ Roll: Jackie Fuchs of the Runaways Shares Her Story
Jackie Fuchs (Fox) of the Runaways talks about Kim Fowley and the rape she remembers differently from bandmates Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. The impact of her sexual assault at the hands of her manager in a room full of friends and associates, and the misconceptions about the 1970s scene of sex, drugs, and rock and roll are all explained in this uncensored discussion.
