Jetting toward the finish

The Warped Tour is winding down. Merchandise booths are being disassembled and some folks are already streaming out to the parking lot. But the music is still going strong. Senses Failed just took the stage, and Joan Jett’s set ended about 10 minutes ago. That was the one place where you were most likely to see parents and their kids rocking out together. Jett’s 30-minute set was filled with favorites that are now two decades old: “I Love Rock 'N’ Roll,” “Bad Reputation” and “Cherry Bomb.” Jett is still one of the best bad girls out there. It’s kid tested and parent approved, except for maybe that one song called “Fetish,” which probably made some moms blush.
