| Abstract | Sandy West, 16, was one of the two initial founding members of the 1970s all-girl band the Runaways. Her powerhouse drumming helped the band blaze a trail through sexism and sexploitation and inspired a legacy of all-girl groups. After the Runaways broke up, she was never able to regain her footing as a musician. For periods of time she became a drug addict and gun-carrying drug runner, and was repeatedly jailed. She died of cancer in 2006, just a few years before the Runaways finally got the media acclaim for which she had fought since she was a teen. This is the story of her pioneering, troubled life. |
