Rocktober Video #16: "Wasted" by The Runaways

After looking back at the Rocktober videos thus far, I noticed a lack of vaginas.  To remedy that, here is a video of '70s rockers The Runaways, which, of course, was the launching pad for Joan Jett and Lita Ford, and inspired a generation of girls to rock.  The song is "Wasted," and it was taken from a performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977.  This is obviously a more recent remastering of the performance, as evidenced by the "BBC Four" logo in the top left corner and the little factoid bubbles that pop up throughout it -- one of which is clearly wrong, as it refers to Lita Ford as Cherie Currie (who had quit the band by this point).  Anyway, the song kicks ass.  Jett wails raspily.  Drummer Sandy West punishes the drums and provides a solid cow bell.  Bassist Vicki Blue holds everything down.  And Ford not only looks fantastic in head-to-toe black spandex (and she still looks good, by the way), but she shreds on that guitar, playing the raunchy riff that repeats throughout the song and a great solo at about the 2:15 mark.
