MUSIC: JOAN JETT AT STERN GROVE
JOAN JETT, the music icon who rocked into our lives dressed in black leather in the 1980s, is performing at Stern Grove at 2 p.m. Sunday. A music pioneer she took early ownership of her own music and started her own record label after being rejected by the majors. Chart success followed with hits like "Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I Hate Myself For Loving You" and "Crimson and Clover." Expect Joan Jett to perform all those hits and more. See you there.

LIVE MUSIC: BLACK CAT SF
New York has the Blue Note and San Francisco has the Black Cat - the little jazz club that could. The Tenderloin Jazz supper club reopens Wednesday at 6 p.m. with a new menu of music, food and killer cocktails. A new champagne menu will help you soak up the sounds with bubbles in hand. The artists who perform come for a two week residency so they can workshop their musical art. Diners at the jazz club will enjoy a new riff on food; bites with a kick and a taste of Puerto Rico by a new chef. Doors open nightly from 6 p.m. to around midnight in the week and later on weekends. This spot on Eddy St. hits all the right notes. For tickets take your jazz hands to the website.

RIP: JANICE MIRIKITANI
Rest in peace, friend. The GLIDE co-founder, former San Francisco poet, prophet of peace and love leaves an impressive legacy and a massive hole in our hearts. Jan was a fierce fighter for the homeless, women and LGBTQ community. News on a memorial will come soon. Sending love to Rev. Cecil Williams. This Sunday’s service at GLIDE will remember a most remarkable women. Sleep with the poets in the sky, Janice!
