September 22 Joan Jett I chose to run this photo of my dear friend, not because it was from the blonde hair era, I just love it when Joan smiles. It lights up any room. It's a great photograph. One of the legends of Rock & Roll was born today in 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joan rose to fame in the 1970s all-girl rock band The Runaways. Her cover of "I Love Rock and Roll" was a num- ber one hit in 1982; "Crimson and Clover" was another hit for her. Joan has appeared as Columbia in the Broadway production of "The Rocky Horror Show". She started her own record label, "Blackheart Records", because no one else would sign them. Though there have been several attempts to reunite Joan's old band, the Runaways, Jett has stated that they always fall apart because former bandmate, Lita Ford, walks out on the rehearsals. Ford is usually the instigator of the reunions. Ranked #32 on VH1's 100 Great- est Women of Rock N Roll. Should be ranked higher. Her single, "I Love Rock And Roll" went to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1982. Birth name Joan Marie Larkin. After her parents divorced she changed her last name to Jett, her mo- ther's maiden name. Has apperaed on TV and in movies. Her songs have been in over films. Joan now lives on Long Island and is still out on the road constanly performing. The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland will commit a crime if Joan is not inducted sooner than later. Her latest album "Sinner" is a must buy!

Jericho Radio Personality Dayton Ohio www.myspace.com/mattjericho JERICHO SAYS: I had a cat til I had to move named Arsenal. She was awesome. Song, I would have to say "She's A Rebel" by Green Day.

But the song that sums them up is "Mama We're All Crazy Now". by Slade. Nicole United Kingdom www.myspace.com/babybotox NICOLE SAYS: I have 2 cats. Skunk & Nansie! They are both complete opposites. Nansie is female, long light grey fur, big paws, lady like, curls up quaintly on your lap and is scared of the slightest movement. Skunk is female Tabby cat that thinks it's a he...and a dog. Skunk wags her tail, sleeps on her back and waits for you to rub her belly, plays fetch (no joke) and constantly wants to play fight with Nansie who has none of it and holds her at bay with one of her huge paws! Always wanted a Boxer dog though, but Skunk is enough to handle for now... PS: Jonathan, there is a picture of Skunk on my myspace. Phil Buckeye Arizona www.myspace.com/phizzle82 PHIL SAYS: I'm a cat person, totally. My cat is Lupita "El Gato Teimpo" and she wears a dangling wristwatch instead of a collar. We keep her indoors to avoid losing her and of course my watch. I'm glad you asked about a song that describes my pet! I've been waiting for someone to actually understand this concept! Her song is "Cruel and Pretty" by Over The Rhine. It's a sorta lazy, relaxed, sentimental romancy sorta song. Just like my cat. Man, I enjoyed this question. Are you going to give us YOUR answer? JONATHAN: Yes I will, now that you asked. I was a dog person for many years. My favorite was "Uncle Miltie", a hunting dog that lived 12 and half years. When he passed, I took it hard. I decided not to get another dog at least until I'm ready. We also have a cat Ollie. She was with us when Miltie was still alive. Someone threw her out of a two story building, and I picked her up and took her home. She was declawed, so I had to keep her in the house at all times. That was 17 years ago. She is a Maine Coon. She is still alive and perky. Actually she is the 'queen' of the house. -lol Tracey United Kingdom www.myspace.com/traceybibby TRACEY SAYS: Hi Jonathan! Well, I'm definately a meow type girl!! I have a 14-month old silver Tabby, her name is Spud and as well as the general silver Tabby markings, she has a ginger splodge on the top of her head - it never fades and we can always distinguish her from the local cats because of it. We have also got a 7-week kitten, she is jet black with gorgeous green eyes, we only got her on monday and have called her smokie. Unfortunately Spud is very jealous. :o( September 20 Maggie Cheung Possably the best Chinese actress of all-time. Maggie Cheung was born in 1964, in Hong Kong, and moved at the age of eight with her family to England. After finishing secondary school, she returned to Hong Kong, where she began modeling and app- earing in commercials. In 1983 she participated in the Ms. Hong Kong pageant, win- ning first runner-up, which proved not to be a detriment since she went on to become a star of both Hong Kong television and film. Her parents are Shanghainese. While she cannot speak the dialect, she understands it. Wanted to be a hairdresser as a child. In Hong Kong, she has been handed every role she has played since she was 18 with- out an audition. The first Chinese actress ever to win the Best Actress award at the Berlin International Film Festival (1992 - for Yuen Ling-yuk) and Cannes Film Festival (2004 - for Clean). Grew up in Bromley, Kent, when she lived in the UK. Acted in 6 movies with Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia, whom she considered her idol and an actress she respected. Declined lead role in "Memoirs of a Geisha" because of racial sensitivity be- tween the Japanese and the Chinese, due to WWII. Although an icon of Asian cinema, she is actually a European with extended residence in Hong Kong. Played 'Flying Snow' in "Hero", but my personal reccomendation is to view "Irma Vep", a French film spoken in French with English subtitles. But Maggie speaks in English, and seems to not really know what's going on. It's amazing art film, and a must see. Has been in over 60 movies. Birthday's today: John Easdale (Dramarama), Alannah Currie (Thompson Twins), Gary Cole, Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Jason Bay, Sophia Loren, Guy Lafleur Jani Wickholm, Kristin Johnson, Crispin Glover, Arn Anderson, Chris Doridas, Anne Meara, Gunnar & Matthew Nelson, Dr.Joyce Brothers, Greg Valentine, Jeff Jones (Red Rider), Pia Lindstrom, Aimee Graham, Camilla Rutherford Q of THE WEEK continues: (Scroll down to Monday) Suzi Laguna Niguel California www.myspace.com/suzannadana SUZI SAYS: Definitely a Woof kind of girl. Favorite dog(s) Cameron and Chaps. Both were German Shepards. They were guard dogs for our 3-1/2 acre little ranch, so that when the kids were out riding on the motocross track down in the front yard, the dogs would help protect them from the javelina, coyotes, bobcats, pack- rats, rattlesnakes etc.,. Chaps had bad hips, so we got Cameron to take his place. He was supposed to be my dog, listen to my commands; but the minute he saw my son Sean he fell in love. He'd sit by the door when he left for school, sit under his feet at the dinner table. Run along beside him on the mx track in the yard. One day I was walking through the house and didn't see Cameron laying by the door pouting, and I panicked. I knew something was wrong. I ran out the door and saw cars pulling off along the bike trail by the house. I jumped in the box van and drove out the gate, and he lay in the middle of the road with Chaps on the side of the road. He looked at me, with the exception of a small trickle of blood coming out of his nose he looked fine. I wrapped him in a batman sleeping bag from the back of the box van and flew to the vets, calling from my cell to let them know I was on my way. When I got there they took him in, and within moments they came out to say he'd died of massive internal injuries. We waited till he got home from school to burry Cameron on the property. Sean got home, saw him and laid down on the sleeping bag beside him. That day both our hearts broke. Song that reminds me of Cameron & Sean, "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. Silverose United Kingdom www.myspace.com/silverose65 ROSE SAYS: I have a very fat Ginger cat called Harvey. He's fat because I love him and feed him far too much food. But it's his fault because he sits by his food drawer, and gives me that 'I'm hungry' look. It makes me feel guilty. We joke that soon we'll have to grease his sides just so he can get out through his catflap. When we are really cruel, we say he may need a skateboard to support his belly, and to help him move about. I don't actually have a song that makes me think of my cat. Sorry! Christa (aka Keepsta) Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/kreepsta CHRISTA SAYS: We have a lot of feline friends. I call it my Pussy Farm. Something my nephew had come up with when he was visting us for the summer. I thought it was a hilarous comment. But anyways WE have FIVE cats or we could of had SIX. OMG!..yea! The first one his name is Cody. He is a beautiful Long haired male. Looks like Slyvester. But, he stares at us like we are his "HERO". So everytime FOO FIGHTER's comes on the radio. Theres Cody's song. The second is Casper. He passed away this spring. We was a Orange tipped Siamese. But everytime Nirvana comes on the radio. We think this band pertains to him in his mouring. Third is Bubbas. He looks like Morris the cat. Fat and sqeaky. When U pick him up he make a sqeak noise. But anything that Fear Factory sings some how the boys in my hows use his name in the song while they are singing it. The next two came together, My aunt found them. They were strays. So we took them in. Zera name was actually Zero. We thought she was a boy. But, the name came from Black Sabbath's "ZERO THE HERO", because she has this white ring on her back. Dino came from Dino Carazes. We like him because he a great guitarist from a couple of bands we like. Brujuria, Fear Factory and Asessino. These two are both black/gray Tabby's. The last girl is Meesha she is a Calico. We haven't thought of a song. But my son said give her the song from Elton John. "The Bitch Is Back". LOL Well, this was my list of my feline companions. Whew! Sorry I dont have any pictures. There is one on my pic profile. But that is Meesha and Casper (RIP). Ali Taylor Vocalist Los Angeles California www.myspace.com/alitaylorla ALI SAYS: Hey, Jonathan. Ummm so I don't have any pet's but, a Lion would be my favorite animal, because it's so fierce.

Q of THE WEEK: (Scroll down to yesterday) Traci Northern Ireland www.myspace.com/tracithepout TRACI SAYS: I have a gorgeous lil Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Judy, who I rescued from animal shelter. Judy She had been dumped on the street and been wanderin' for couple months they think. She is such fun, but a bit crazy, so suits me to a tee!! lol Eric New York www.myspace.com/ecoli2000 ERIC SAYS: Time I responded to one of these: I have two pet rats: Persa is small and charcoal grey with little pink hands and ears and nose. Zurina is albino with a real great memory and very affectionate (both are). Rats are smart little animals that know their owners, remember things, and are clean! There is no such thing as a dirty rat, just a dirty rat owner. Betz Scottsdale Arizona www.myspace.com/betzpoley BETZ SAYS: Woof - woof definitely. What a great question - I love talking about my puppy!!! Her name is Pucci (pronounced Poochie). She's an 8-month old Yorkie-Poo and coincidentally there's a "designer" pet clothing line called...Pucci Designer Petwear - but that's not how we named her. She loves getting her picture taken, she has a little underbite that's so adorable, loves people and not so much other dogs. The song that best describes her is "Lady (you bring me up)" (Commodores) - lyrics are somewhat fitting. She always make me laugh when I'm having a bad day. Another one to describe her is "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" (honky tonkin' song by Travis Tritt) because she's always getting into everything!!!!!! My puppy's the shit! September 18 Alison Lohman The young actress is a native of and born in Palm Springs, California in 1979. She grew up in a family with no showbiz connections but she always wanted to perform.

Also: What song describes your pet the best? Jane Cambridge United Kingdom www.myspace.com/janeadkins JANE SAYS: Hi Jonathan. Yes, I love pets, but I don't have any at the moment. However, if it wasn't cruel, I would love to keep a squirrel. Sounds an odd choice, but when I was 4 years old, I have memories of re- covering from a heart operation. Looking out of the window in the recuperation ward, I remember seeing lots of squirrels in the grounds outside. I'm convinced that this helped me get better :) Jane x Susan Bluechild Vocalist Dublin Ireland www.myspace.com/susanbluechild SUSAN SAYS: My female cat Amber. Beautiful soft, furry, purring, playful, and devoted. Reminds me of a song "Perfect Skin" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Fun and free, love it when she rolls around the carpet. LOL Susan x Cath (aka Maiden's Bitch) Swansea United Kingdom www.myspace.com/maidenbitch CATH SAYS: Well, my dog is a cross yorkie/westie. She's 6-years old. I've had her just over a year. Her last owner mistreated her. When we had her she was dirty, her fur was matted and cowering as if she's been hit a lot. But, now with us she is spoilt rotten and doesn't cower away any more, and is a very playful but loving dog. Her name is Jessie! Song to describe her. "We Will Rock You" by Queen, coz that dog totally ROCKS! September 17 Cassandra Peterson Cassandra Peterson, Elvira's alter ego, was born in Manhattan, Kansas in 1949, and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She remembers always being a fan of Ann-Margret. Since Cassandra saw her in Viva Las Vegas (1964), she wanted to be a dancer. Just days after graduating from high school, Cassandra traveled to Las Vegas where, at the age of 17, she became the youngest showgirl in Las Vegas history. When Elvis Presley saw her per- form he encouraged her to pursue a singing career. She toured Europe extensively as lead singer for an Italian rock band. She settled in Rome, where she became fluent in Italian. Here Cassandra met Federico Fellini, who cast her in his classic film, Roma (1972). Return- ing to the US, Cassandra formed her own nightclub review, "Mama's Boys", which toured the national club circuit. In the late 1970s she joined the satiric improvisational troupe, The Groundlings, which also produced such stars as Paul Reubens (aka "Pee Wee Herman"). There she honed her now renowned comedic skills as both a writer and performer. Film and television appearances such as Cheech & Chong's Next Movie (1980) and others followed, but Cassandra was just the typical struggling actress and spent years wondering where her next meal was coming from. It was the fall of 1981, with the birth of her character, Elvira, that it all changed. While she has since played herself in many film and television shows, Cassandra ultimately combines her numerous talents into an intriguing persona which has not only be- come a Halloween icon, but a "vamp" for all seasons. Is a natural redhead. Although she has appeared in nude layouts, she has never appeared nude as the Elvira character.

WEEKEND IN IBIZA PARTYING No, because I don't want to wake up with a headache . 2. HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE ROLLING STONES Not so much because there are too much noise, too many people and I would get bored. LOL 3. A VISIT TO THE VATICAN and MEET THE POPE This seems a pretty good one, it is not everyday that we can meet a holy person, and the Vatican inspire quietness and peace for me. ;) Have fun!

She began her acting career as a teenager, putting herself through the theater program at Stephens College in Missouri by winning writing competitions. She then headed to Los Angeles.

Look for a new one next Monday (September 18) Rockinfreakapotomus Marinette Wisconsin www.myspace.com/imarockinfreakapotomus ROCKIN SAYS: Okay, I'm gonna sound like a moron, I have no idea what Ibiza is. Guess I would have to pick The Stones. I'm not a very religous person either. Kathaleen Rancho Cordova California www.myspace.com/celestianna KATHALEEN SAYS: Well finally an easy one. Although raised a devout Catholic (not practicing for a very long while) I really have no interest in meeting the Pope. I think he is a Conehead in disguise. I mean why else wear a hat like that. Met the Rolling Stones and had a sit and chatted it up with them for a bit so been there done that. They are some of the most facinating people on the face of this planet. I don't care what you say about them. Although my partying days are over I would have to go with the Ibiza answer. Especially just to meet new facesand see new places. I have done and seen alot, but haven't been here. Anyway there you have my answer short and to the point Pauly Radio Personality Clarksville Tennessee www.myspace.com/paulysucks PAULY SAYS: You mean Keith isn't the Pope? David Sadoff Radio Personality Houston Texas www.myspace.com/thelastdj DAVID SAYS: Jonathan, That's an easy one. I would choose hanging backstage with The Rolling Stones for the opportunity to meet them and hopefully hear some first-hand stories, especially from Keith if he can still remember any. I imagine Charlie probably has the best stories since he's the quiet one. As for the other choices, it was really no contest. The rave scene (they probably don't even call it that any more) isn't my thing, and I don't think the Pope and I would have that much to talk about. Joe Tempe Arizona www.myspace.com/76344760 JOE SAYS: Personally, I would rather go backstage at a Soundgarden show, but the Rolling Stones will have to suffice.

What other choice is there really that's better than that one. Wasn't hard Jonathan. -smiles- Debby (aka LivingDeadGirl) Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/phoenixlivingdeadgirl DEBBY SAYS: The Pope because it's not every day I get to meet a holy man. Ibiza will always be there (unless of an earthquake) and, I just don't appreciate the Rolling Stones like some people do. Plus, I've been backstage and hung out with a certain band before and it's not all its cracked up to be. Boring, really. Keren Gloucestershire United Kingdom www.myspace.com/kezisyours KEREN SAYS: lol...not really much to choose from there. I would have to go for number 1, as that sounds the most fun. 2. Sorry boys but just not my cup of tea, however if it were Aerosmith then I'd be there like a shot. 3. I'm reading Angels n Demons at the moment by Dan Brown, all about the catholic church v the illuminati...and I know this will upset a few people, but the Catholic Church has far too much power, and are so out of touch with the real world. Lu Valentino Radio Personality Florida www.myspace.com/luvalentino LU SAYS: 3, well It's obvious from my picture! JONATHAN: Lu, I couldn't bare to run that photo. I'm sorry. An old b/w photo as a young Catholic School girl might give some of the guys reading this the wrong idea. Know what I mean? -lol ;-) Terry Crossville Illinois www.myspace.com/thebadger7 TERRY SAYS: HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE ROLLING STONES! No explaination needed :) That would be the best!

Q of THE WEEK: Scroll down to Monday Marie Atlanta Georgia www.myspace.com/reezzie MARIE SAYS: Hello Jonathan. I would choose HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE ROLLING STONES! I am sure one night backstage with these rock legions would be the ultimate dream of a life time for a groupie. Since I never had the pleasure or the time to be a groupie, I probably wouldn't get on there nerves as bad. And, we would hang out tell stories, oh and yeah of course party. I have been to so many parties all my life and after awhile they aren't as fun but I would say this could be the ultimate party ex- perience of all-time!!! Your friend, Reezie Nicole United Kingdom www.myspace.com/babybotox NICOLE SAYS: HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE ROLLING STONES!! That was easy...next! Not into clubbing. My idea of a good night is going to hear a good live band and possibly jam with 'em! The Pope though...I am Italian so I guess I should make the effort. mmm...the Rolling Stones! Ramona (aka Ramona Blackheart !) California www.myspace.com/joanjettjr RAMONA SAYS: HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE ROLLING STONES! C'mon your talkin' 'bout The Stones here. One of the best of all time. The Stones presented a rebellious, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll life style image that many other bands continue to emulate to this day, and you know what more can you ask for! I say: "Satisfaction Baby" Tracy Tempe Arizona www.myspace.com/aztracyl TRACIE SAYS: Weekend in
