Canadian singer Bryan Adams will bring his lovelorn lyrics and passionate facial expressions on his So Happy It Hurts tour, supporting his latest album of the same name. In press materials, Adams described the pandemic-informed tunes as an album that "touches on many of the ephemeral things in life that are really the secret to happiness and, most importantly, human connection." Let's be real though, the star of this bill is the original riot grrrl, Joan Jett, and her longtime band the Blackhearts. I've been obsessed with Joan since I was thirteen and in my mind, she's the crown jewel of cool. It's unlikely that she'll play any Runaways songs aside from "Cherry Bomb," but I'll be saying a prayer for "I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are."
