My Take
Cherie Currie earns my admiration twice over. First as the teenage front-woman of the Runaways, snarling in a corset on Los Angeles stages in the mid-1970s, she helped prove girls could own hard rock outright. Then she walked away from the noise and reinvented herself as a chainsaw wood carver, which I find genuinely thrilling. Singer, actor, songwriter, sculptor, twin half of a duo with her sister Marie, she keeps changing the shape of her self-expression rather than coasting on nostalgia. That restless refusal to stay in one lane is, to me, the truest definition of an artist. A free spirit worth celebrating.
