Synopsis
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways,
the music-fuelled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970s rock band. Written and
directed by Floria Sigismondi, Apparition will release the film on March 19, 2010.
Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA
FANNING), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul
of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big
screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern
California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of
girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL
SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its toughchick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself-and so do its two leads: Joan is
the band's pure rock 'n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
The Runaways is produced by John Linson, Art Linson and Bill Pohlad. Joan Jett, Kenny
Laguna and Brian Young serve as executive producers. The film marks the first theatrical
collaboration between Apparition and River Road Entertainment.
Introduction
At the core of The Runaways is the relationship between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie
(Stewart and Fanning). A tumultuous, love-hate partnership on and off stage that bloomed over the
course of the band's meteoric rise, their wild life on the road fuelled by sex, drugs and booze and
the eventual dissolution of The Runaways just three years and five albums later.
The Runaways is as much a coming of age story as it is the story of a band set against the
backdrop of the colourful crowds at Rodney Bingenheimer's famed LA club English Disco where
Jett and Currie met; the arduous and often abusive recording process which led to hits like "Cherry
Bomb," and the Beatle mania-like reception upon their arrival in Japan.
Academy Award-nominee Michael Shannon plays the über-eccentric Kim Fowley who
helps form The Runaways and serves as the band's foul-mouthed manager caught between
manufacturing the girls' "jailbait" image and keeping the teenagers in line and out of trouble long
enough to get them to the next gig or cut the next record.
Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween, Love Ranch) and Stella Maeve (Gossip Girl, Brooklyn's
Finest) play Runaways founding members Lita Ford and Sandy West, respectively. Alia Shawkat
(Whip It, Arrested Development) plays "Robin," a fictional composite character representing the
numerous personalities who've played bass for the band. Model and Elvis Presley's granddaughter,
Riley Keough joins as Cherie Currie's twin sister Marie and Oscar winning-actress Tatum O'Neal
rounds out the cast as Marie Harmon, Cherie's former actress mother.
Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Caballero (Pan's Labyrinth) lends his
remarkable talents to recreate the look of the mid-to-late 1970s - moving from the dreamy
innocence of Southern California to the metallic, stark grey and white of Japan - and a group of
girls losing their way.
Noted music supervisor George Drakoulias (The Hangover) not only delves into a treasure
trove of mid-seventies rock hits, but was instrumental during the process of re-recording tracks with
Stewart and Fanning singing, to avoid as Stewart puts it, "coming off as frauds."
John and Art Linson (Fight Club, FX's Sons of Anarchy) produced the film along with River
Road CEO Bill Pohlad (Into the Wild, Brokeback Mountain). Executive producer and music
legend, Joan Jett, was on set nearly every day to offer firsthand guidance on what it was like to have
lived out this extraordinary story of a couple of young girls who dream to be rock stars, and then
have to face all that comes with having that dream come true.
The Production
Summer 2009, Kristen Stewart transforms into a fiery red leather jumpsuit-wearing, guitarstrumming powerhouse. Immediately to her right, Dakota Fanning is now a glam rock star, wearing
a tight corset and fishnets. The crowd goes wild as the band rips into the thunderous "Cherry
Bomb," The Runaways' biggest hit.
The hyper-realistic moment is something far more than actors filming a scene: Fanning is
really singing and Stewart is really playing as tears begin to fill the eyes of the real Cherie Currie
and Joan Jett, who are watching their lives play out thirty years later. The fans are pretending to
cheer for The Runaways but are sincerely star-struck at the site of Fanning and Stewart.
Raw truth and authenticity prevail as Floria Sigismondi directs the camera to capture the
moment at every conceivable angle. For the characters it is the apex of their journey. For the young
actors, it is near the end of an intense month-long shoot, where they have been challenged by the
grittiest, and perhaps deepest, roles of their careers.
Sigismondi wasn't interested in making a biopic or celebrating the past. She saw The
Runaways as a way to tell a story of empowerment where young girls come into their own and set
out to make a place for themselves.
"It is a coming of age story of young women kind of getting in too far deep into, and kind of
surviving, their time together," said Sigismondi. "They just get too far, lost in their circumstance.
But it is not a documentary. I have taken liberties with trying to depict the truth through the events,
and finding a story beyond what we know."
This story was four years in the making- beginning with producer John Linson (Lords of
Dogtown) who licensed the rights to Currie's book and set out to get this movie made. Growing up
around the entertainment business and the music industry (his father is renowned producer Art
Linson- Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Heat- also a producer on The
Runaways), John Linson was particularly versed on the toll fame can take, especially on youth.
He was at a party talking music and the name Cherie Currie came up. Cherie was someone
Linson admits to "having a bit of a crush on" when he was a young kid reading the wild tales of The
Runaways in "Creem" magazine. As the others conversed about the impact of The Runaways on
music, Linson was struck with the idea of "making a movie about two young girls who go up
against Hollywood." To do The Runaways justice, Linson knew this wasn't going to be some PG-13
sugar-coated version of the band that quells the racier parts of the story. "It wasn't as much to do a
music film as much as a teenage girl powered drama that tells the truth of what life can be and not
be in LA," Linson continues.
To make the movie they wanted to make, the Linsons needed the right backing from a
production company that was unafraid to produce films that fly in the face of studio formulas and
convention. They didn't have to look far to find River Road Entertainment, given Art Linson had
just produced Sean Penn's acclaimed adaptation of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, based on the life
Christopher McCandless and his extraordinary journey into the American West. For a company that
has made a number of "true stories," River Road is not interested in simply recreating the past. The
company aims to produce films that stand the test of time in the sense that they are more about the
characters' progression and the broader meaning of their lives as much as the individual beats along
the way.
The Linsons and River Road founder Bill Pohlad were in sync on the angle of The
Runaways story. "It has to be about the people," said Pohlad. "It is about girls, and the ability even
at that young age to try to find yourself and try to cut something out of life for yourself as opposed
to just being part of a pattern or falling into one trap or another."
The Women
While it wasn't essential, finding a female director was important to the producing team,
given the coming of age nature of the piece. After talking to a number of different prospects, for
more than a year and a half, they found Floria Sigismondi.
"We certainly knew of Floria and her music video work," offers Pohlad. "We were all very
drawn to her, and it's turned out incredibly well. She dove into the material, and certainly had a
strong connection to it. She's very confident with a very strong vision, and is somebody with great
visual sense and a great eye."
To prepare to write the screenplay, Sigismondi conducted numerous interviews with band
members and people close to the scene. She also researched band profiles from the era and pulled
from Currie's book. With all this material, Sigismondi was able to imagine teenagers wrestling with
all that comes with a red-hot spotlight. "To get their voices I did a lot of historical research," said
Sigismondi. "And then I drew from my own past and thought of how I would have felt in a similar
situation. And it went from there..."
At their core, The Runaways were a band about liberation- liberation from stereotypes,
liberation from the banality suburban life, and liberation from the corporate rock and disco sounds
that dominated radio.
Of course the rock scene of the 1970s was certainly not without its lurid tales of excess and
illicit drug use and The Runaways did not escape it, which Sigismondi felt made their band's
success all the more moving.
"It wasn't, you know, like these are the accomplishments," said Sigismondi. "I think the
accomplishments come through the pain. Cherie is triumphant to me because she makes a choice.
And Joan's triumphant because she makes another choice. But to me they are both heroes because
they are both following their heart. But in all that, it was hard to get to that place. So for me it
wasn't just about the highs, it was about everything, including the lows."
For Sigismondi, there weren't many young women who could play Joan Jett and truly
embody her character from the voice, to the personality, to the body language like Kristen. Stewart
was at the right age and point in her life to identify with Joan and make the deep connection to her
character. "I think Kristen became her," said Sigismondi. "Her essence was so true; it was really an
amazing transformation to behold."
It's rare for actors to have such immediate access to the person they are portraying. During
production, Stewart and Fanning were often seen off to the side on sets, in the trailers, even outside
of production working closely with Currie and Jett to hone every detail of the rock and roll
personas. To carefully craft her performance to be an accurate reflection of Joan, Stewart spent a
great deal of time with Jett throughout production of the film.
"Joan's our executive producer; she was there every day spending time with me," said
Stewart. "To prepare for a role like this, you can research, read interviews, watch old footage, but to
my benefit, there wasn't a whole lot of that available. I was able to talk directly with Joan and think
I would have felt like a fraud had I not."
As Dakota took the stage for her pivotal "Cherry Bomb" scene, waiting in the wings was her
biggest supporter and fan. "To me, Dakota is just one of the greatest actresses ever," said Cherie
Currie. "She was so engaging and eager to make sure she was on point with her singing and her
performance. She's phenomenal." Being the same age as Cherie in the film helped. Since Dakota
felt like Cherie's contemporary this gave her the ability to identify in greater depth with her
character. "I was very lucky to have Cherie help me understand the character," said Fanning. "I was
able to ask her questions that led to stories about my character and gave me more background, gave
me an extension of what was on paper."
Kristen and Dakota captured the energy, anger, and youthfulness of these young girls,
committing to voice lessons, with Kristen diligently learning how to play the guitar. Michael
Shannon recalls her saying, "I don't want to look like an idiot up there. I don't want to fake it. I want
to be able to play these songs." Stewart mastered all 12 pieces and had perfected phrasing of the
words to mirror Joan's when singing the songs.
The film reminds us that The Runaways arrived during an extremely crucial moment in time
for women in music and the film eloquently captures the music scene in Los Angeles in the early to
mid 70s.
"Everyone wants to believe that the extraordinary can happen to them," says Currie. "It
doesn't mean you're not gonna have to work hard for it, because, trust me, a lot of people never
thought we could do what we did. We went through hell making it easier for girls in music. We
were the soldiers out there getting bloody and beat up. But here we are. And we're doing okay."
The Music
Music Supervisor George Drakoulias recalls a pivotal moment during the rehearsals, when
he was playing tapes for Joan Jett. "George, why are you playing my songs back to me, I thought
we were supposed to listen to Kristen?" Jett asked. "No it is Kristen singing," said Drakoulias.
"Really?" said Jett in disbelief. Drakoulias replied, "Joan, I promise you, it's Kristen singing." Joan
laughed and said. "Oh that's pretty cool." It was then when Drakoulias knew Kristen was the only
person for the part. "If Kristen could fool Joan's ears, I knew we'd be okay," Drakoulias remembers.
Stepping into a recording studio to record Runaways tracks was a totally new experience for
Fanning. To sing these iconic songs, Fanning did a great deal of preparation including voice lessons
and studying every nuance of Currie's choreography. The actress felt like she was living her dream
of being "a rock and roll super star."
The Svengali
Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Shannon wasn't sure his schedule would allow
him to take on the role of Kim Fowley. When he began to research the part, he came across an
interview Fowley had done on "The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" back in the 1970s. "He
comes out on the screen, he's in this orange suit, his hair's all slicked back and he's got make up on,
fingernail polish like a praying mantis," Shannon remembers. "He was just one of the most
fascinating people I had ever seen, and you couldn't take your eyes off him." That Tom Snyder clip
sold him on the project. Shannon felt like it would be a huge challenge to try and capture Fowley's
personality and his way of being.
Fowley rants on and on like a foul-mouthed modern beat poet, and as Sigismondi notes, "if
that dialogue is not said right, it could just feel long and awkward." When the director heard
Shannon deliver his first monologue in rehearsal, she saw it as a revelation.
There were times during filming where Shannon was required to deliver crude lines which
made him a little uncomfortable as the lines were directed towards the young actresses. "There was
one line that had me extremely nervous and of course when I went to deliver the line, I got it all
mixed up," said Shannon. "We had some funny screw-ups from time to time." Shannon was
thankful that Fanning and Stewart were both such professionals given the dark nature of some of
the material." They're both such professionals," said Shannon. "They're both gracious, kind, and
supportive."
The Look
"I made a conscious effort to be very realistic in creating a world in terms of our story arc,
said Sigismondi. "At the beginning, the valley is beautiful and sunny California, but it shapes and
shifts as the film progresses; the girls go on the road and things get grittier."
Together Sigismondi and Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Caballero,
meticulously planed, outlined, rehearsed and lit every scene with the sole purpose of framing
tension.
Where they could, Sigismondi and Caballero chose to augment the lighting with more
practical lamps from the period. The lamps in photographs were used in every single corner of the
set to create a feeling of intimacy. "There's a filter that makes it perfect," said Caballero, "that
enhances the feelings, with the colour scheme."
Caballero used saturated colours to reflect the 70s but as they lost their innocence used more
washed, bleached out colours. Caballero designed the scenes according to attitude. "It was a very
punk rock attitude," said Caballero. "The cord is not very much tuned in." The team wanted to have
that same impact in the design to make it visually astonishing while keeping it raw and real.
"They're in a more enclosed environment in California, and they're small, trying to get their
footing, trying to create an image, but when they reach Japan, the girls reach a deeper level of
darkness through drugs and experimentation," says Sigismondi. In the "Cherry Bomb" scene for
example, they put together a set with some lines, copper, silver and gold, where everything leads
towards Cherie, so as the scene progresses she evolves into the Cherry Bomb herself." Said
Caballero, "She's just having this huge change in that moment, and the design can subtly mirror that
change."

o
Summer 1975 - 15-year-old Joan Jett is spending her free time at Rodney
Bingenheimer's English Disco in Hollywood getting turned on to glitter rock like
David Bowie, Gary Glitter, and T Rex. Around the same time, Sandy West, whose
passions included surfing and drums, approaches Kim Fowley, another frequent
fixture at Rodney's, about forming an all girl band. Kim brings Joan and Sandy
together and agrees to help them find other girls to join the band. By August the
band grows to four members with Micki Steele on bass and Lita Ford on lead guitar.
Lita had originally auditioned for the bass player, but since the position was already
filled, ends up as the band's lead guitarist. With Kim as their manager, the threepiece band decide on the name, The Runaways, and within a few weeks they play
their first show at a local party.
Fall 1975 - The Runaways play their first public show at the famed Whisky-A-GoGo in Hollywood.
November 1975 - Joan and Kim meet twin sisters Cherie and Marie Currie, not yet
16. Cherie auditions for the band with no song to sing. On the spot, Joan and Kim
write "Cherry Bomb." Singing the newly written song, Cherie lands the job and
becomes the lead singer. Shortly after, Micki Steele leaves the band and is replaced
by Peggy Foster. By December, Peggy is replaced with Jackie Fox.
February of 1976 - The Runaways sign to Mercury Records and soon enter the
studio to record their debut LP, The Runaways. After their first album is released,
the band embarks on their first US tour. Highlights included the famous Agora
Ballroom in Cleveland and CBGB's in NYC. The band then embarks on their first
European tour. They returned to the US and continue to tour. Highlights included the
Royal Oak Theatre outside of Detroit with opening acts Cheap Trick and Tom Petty
and The Heartbreakers.
1977 - The Runaways second album Queens of Noise is co-produced by Sparks'
guitarist Earle Mankey. Upon wrapping recording, they hit the road for their second
US tour. Meanwhile, The Runaways are exploding in Japan. "Cherry Bomb" hits #1
in Japan and Australia, and they become the fourth biggest selling act in Japan. The
mass hysteria of the arrival of the Runaways in Japan, for their sold out tour, rivals
the arrival of the Beatles in America. Jackie quits the band and flies home to the
states. Joan picks up the bass for their biggest show to date, The Tokyo Music
Festival. They released, Live in Japan, which becomes one of the highest selling
imports of the '70s.
Winter 1977 - After returning home, the band returns to the studio to work on their
third album, Waitin' for the Night. The band's line-up changes again, with Vicki
Blue joining to replace Jackie Fox. Joan takes over lead singing duties replacing
Cherie Currie, who leaves to pursue a solo career. Waitin' for the Night is the first
release with Joan Jett on lead vocals. By the end of the year, the band parts ways
with manager, Kim Fowley.
1978 - The Runaways find new management and begin to record their fourth album.
They head to the UK to begin work on And now…. The Runaways. Once again, they
have to replace their bass player, after Vicki Blue falls ill. Laurie McAllister joins
o
the band and The Runaways begin their final tour, ending with New Years Eve at the
Cow Palace in San Francisco.
1979 - The Runaways decide to disband because of creative differences but not
before leaving an indelible mark on rock and roll and paving the way for a number
of all-girl groups to follow, including The Go-Gos and The Bangles.

Crew Bios
FLORIA SIGISMONDI (DIRECTOR)
The multi-disciplinary work of Floria Sigismondi encompasses film, video, photography
and installations. Incorporating early film and painterly aesthetics Floria creates a hyper-surrealism
based on the figure, using images derived from hallucinatory dream-states. Her videos mix
seamlessly with her photography series, and her photographic images translate naturally into mixed-
media forms. Floria's images exist in a theatre setting that is both narrative and starkly visual,
revealing the poetic and sometimes macabre world.
Most recently, a second photography book titled Immune, a book of photographs from
publisher Die Gestalten Verlag, was released in 2005.
Floria Sigismondi was born in Pescara, Italy to opera singing parents. When she was two
years old the family immigrated to Canada, settling in the industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario.
Floria has exhibited her photography, film, and sculpture installations in exhibitions
internationally in New York, Paris, Toronto, Rome, Los Angeles, Mexico City, London, Italy,

JOAN JETT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)
Joan Jett is a pioneer, revered songwriter and musician. Her influence is felt not only in the
music world, but also in the fabric of society, penetrating pop culture with her music, her signature
style, and her social activism.
Joan is not only known for her 6 platinum albums, 17 hit rock tracks, and 9 Billboard "Top
40" singles, but also because her unique style and persona has influenced countless musicians,
artists, fashion designers, and authors.
Her impact is felt in a wide range of places, from NBC Broadcast's Sunday Night Football,
where you can hear Faith Hill sing the theme song against the melody of Joan's "I Hate Myself for
Loving You" to American Chopper, the hit TLC show, which uses her seminal recording, "Bad
Reputation," for their signature song and video.
Her music is heard in video games, nightclubs, sports arenas, TV shows and movies, and
has continued to inspire new generations of listeners.
Joan's unique style is seen on the runways and in fashion magazines, in make up styles and
street styles. Her style has even inspired designs in furniture.
Joan's legacy is not just topical; it is of social importance as well. When Joan co-founded
The Runaways with drummer Sandy West, she made history and paved the way for all the women
who came after her by pioneering a seminal all girl rock and roll band. She opened the door and
inspired female musicians to pick up a guitar in the formerly male dominated landscape.
In keeping with her pioneering spirit, she became the first woman to start her own
independent record company, Blackheart Records. The label continues to grow, giving emerging
artists a chance to succeed.
Joan recently designed with Gibson, her signature Joan Jett Gibson Melody Maker. This is
the first signature electric guitar created by a woman, and the Joan Jett Melody Maker is one of the
hottest guitars on the market.
Joan's influence and music speaks to all corners of society and spans generations. She is an
activist, a philanthropist and a timeless icon.
BILL POHLAD (PRODUCER)
An esteemed producer of innovative and independent films, Bill Pohlad is one of the
foremost producers noted for combining strong talent and bold material. Garnering respect for his
work throughout the industry, Pohlad currently spearheads both River Road Entertainment and the
newly formed Apparition.
As founder and CEO of River Road Entertainment, Pohlad is currently in various stages of
postproduction on several high-profile films. These diverse projects include Doug Liman's Fair
Game, starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts; and The Tree of Life, written and directed by Terrence
Malick, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
In 2007 Pohlad produced Sean Penn's award-winning adaptation of Into the Wild, based on
the best-selling book by Jon Krakauer. The film premiered at the Telluride and Toronto Film
Festivals and opened to rave reviews in September 2007. Into The Wild appeared on many of the
top ten film lists of 2007 and garnered nods from The Directors Guild, The Writers Guild, SAG,
National Board of Review, The Gotham Awards and The Academy among others. Pohlad and River
Road have also been responsible for producing Robert Altman's final piece, A Prairie Home
Companion and Brett Morgen's political documentary Chicago 10, which opened the 2007
Sundance Film Festival.
Pohlad has served as the executive producer on numerous films including Ang Lee's
Academy Award winning epic, Brokeback Mountain and the highly acclaimed Lust, Caution, which
won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Additional executive credits include: Fur: An
Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus starring Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr.; and Robert
Kenner's acclaimed documentary, Food Inc., which opened to praised reviews in the Summer of
2009.
Most recently, Pohlad and marketing and distribution veteran, Bob Berney launched a new
film distribution company, Apparition, which will acquire and release films. The company's initial
slate includes River Road's The Runaways and The Tree of Life as well as Jane Campion's critically
acclaimed Bright Star and The Young Victoria, starring Golden Globe-nominee Emily Blunt. The
new banner has also formed an output relationship with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions
Group (SPWAG) for all domestic ancillary rights.
In 1990, Pohlad's earlier work included his first feature film, Old Explorers, which he wrote,
directed and co-produced starring veteran actors José Ferrer and James Whitmore. Pohlad went on
to produce and direct numerous commercial, corporate and documentary film projects throughout
the 1990s. Pohlad's early documentary film credits included profiles of the rock star Prince, the late
Hall of Fame baseball player Kirby Puckett and Irish theatre director Joe Dowling. Through River
Road, Pohlad partnered with music retailer Sam Goody/Musicland to produce music programming
for cable and syndicated television, and created and produced an award-winning network of inflight programming for Northwest Airlines.

Other Players
CHERIE CURRIE

legendary all-female rock band, The Runaways, alongside band mates Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy
West & Jackie Fox.
After three albums with The Runaways, ("The Runaways", "Queens of Noise", and "Live In
Japan"), Cherie went on to record 2 solo albums ("Beauty's Only Skin Deep" for PolyGram
Records, & "Messin' With The Boys" with twin sister Marie Currie for Capitol Records), then as an
actress, starred in numerous films including "Foxes" with Jodie Foster, "Parasite" with Demi

KIM FOWLEY
Over the course of his decades-long career Kim Fowley has been a true jack-of-all-trades; a
singer, songwriter, producer, manager, a disc jockey, published poet and the catalyst behind much
of the music to emerge from the Los Angeles area during the 1960s and 1970s.
In the mid-1960s, Fowley became immersed in the Los Angeles counterculture, befriending
Frank Zappa and his band the Mothers of Invention and later appearing on their Freak Out! LP. A
prolific songwriter, he also composed material for the Byrds, the Beach Boys, Soft Machine, Cat
Stevens, and Them, and produced the likes of Gene Vincent, Warren Zevon, and Helen Reddy. In
1967 Fowley issued his own solo debut, Love Is Alive and Well, a record that found him closely
aligned with the flower power movement. A series of solo records followed, including Born to Be
Wild, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and International Heroes.
In 1975, after completing the LP Animal God of the Streets, Fowley returned to his Svengali
role by assembling the notorious Runaways, a teenage hard rock girl group featuring a young Joan
Jett, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie. After the original group splintered, Fowley launched another
Runaways in the 1980s.
RODNEY BINGENHEIMER
From the Monkees to Van Halen to No Doubt and beyond, Rodney Bingenheimer, aka
"Rodney on the ROQ," has been a cherished figure not only in Los Angeles, but the entire music
community, for over 2 decades.
Motivated by his love for music and the allure of Hollywood, Rodney first hit the infamous
Sunset Strip as a teenager during its psychedelic 1960s heyday. A constantly evolving fixture as
scenester, journalist, promoter and club owner, Bingenheimer was deemed "Mayor of the Sunset
Strip." He began spinning records on Los Angeles' cutting-edge radio station KROQ, and soon
became one of the country's most well known DJs.
In the 1970s Rodney made his name as a national columnist for "Go" and "Phonograph
Record" magazines; and he also operated and co-owned his club, "Rodney Bingenheimer's English
Disco", an LA club where Bowie, Iggy Pop, TRex, Suzi Quatro, Led Zeppelin, and the Sweet where
all regulars.
