Q27, 41 ARE CORRECT

Q20 REFERENCE: it all started when 14 year old Kari Krome approached Kim Fowley at an Alice Cooper party in 1975. She discussed lyrics with Kim and he was impressed, but Kari wanted them sung by girls her own age. All that was needed was a couple of girls to play the music. Enter, Kari's 17 year old friend Joan Larkin (A.K.A. Joan Jett) whom she met at Rodney Bingeheimer's English disco in Hollywood, and Sandy Pesavento (A.K.A. Sandy West) was met by Fowley in the parking
lot of the Rainbow Bar. Kari was to be the lead singer with Joan on guitars and Sandy on Drums. The three girls played together and on August 5, 1975 Fowley decided that while Kari was a great lyricist, she couldn't sing. So Kim brought in Sue Thomas (A.K.A. Micki Steele).
