R.I.P.:SANDY WEST

Founding drummer of the teenage band "The Runaways", she died of cancer Saturday
at the age of 47. While not as well known as Joan Jett or Lita Ford, she helped the band
become the 'riot girls' of the 70s. And you can't tell me you've never heard their 'big hit'
Cherry Bomb. Everybody's heard Cherry Bomb at least once!
And they didn't last long, and they were never that famous in the 70s, but
they still make the list as a guilty pleasure in my book.

And so Sandy joins the big rock show in the sky...
