Yea! Over 25,000 hits! Thank you all.
I would like to thank everyone who has visited my pages
on the Runaways, their letters and comments really mean a lot
to me. Please bear with me, and continue to keep the counter
increasing.
LITA FORD WILL BE PUTTING OUT A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I apologize for having done no work on these pages in well over a year.
That will hopefully change. One of the first things I am going to do is
answer all of the e-mails that I have gotten from you. Yes I still have
them all!
As soon as I get them I will be posting pictures of the Runaways
so please keep checking back. Anyone who has e-mailed me and
I have an e-mail address for, I will notify when they do go
up and when I make a significant change to any page.
On this page I will TRY to keep some kind of accurate
record of who appeared on which Runaways albums;who played
what instrument(s) or sang lead on which songs. If you have
any information regarding this please let me know.
Would anyone like to see this band get back together,
besides me?
kensternation@gmail.comPlease send comments,
additional links, etc.
Serious renovations coming soon.
Please note: Like everything else here, it is under serious
construction. It is not nearly finished, but I am working on it.

I hope to be adding links and pictures and other stuff
like that. It may take a while, however, as I work full
time and am a full time graduate student, so please bear
with me and visit often. Eventually, this should become
a one-stop page for the Runaways. Including hard to find
information.
All of my pages that are linked from this are under serious
construction. I am just trying, at this point to get them up.
DO NOT think that they are by any means finished.
kensternation@gmail.comPlease send comments,
information or just a note. I will do my best to respond to
everyone.
Created Dec. 16, 1996. (Last updated 6/17/97
more renovations coming soon, hopefully.
I have a lot of info. and very little time.)

If you can't e-mail, or just don't want to, here is a
convenient form:
I now have another e-mail address (well, actually, it'll be
easier, for now for me to use just the one address). This
will be used for people who would like periodic updates to
the goings on of the Runaways today. I do not promise
anything out of this. At this point I just want to see what
the response will be like, and to try to piece something
together. Anyone willing to help out please contact me there.
The address is: kensternation2@hotmail.com
You may continue to use the runawaysband address, but it may
take a while to get a response.

After this point I have nothing to do with this page,
especially if it has anything to do with Bill!
