Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, "A.C.D.C."

A friend on a message board introduced me to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "A.C.D.C." today. The 2006 track was totally new to me, and I instantly fell for it: it rocks, and I dig songs with bisexual themes. I don't know if Joan is formally out or in open-secret-land, but she did the GLBTs proud with this one.

Why I love YouTube: it allowed me to hear this song and learn that it was a cover (Sweet did the Chapman-Chinn composition way back in '74 - !).

Why I hate YouTube: I made the mistake of reading the comments, many of which were predictably homophobic. God, people are idiots, especially when granted anonymity.
