Suffice it to say, Suzi Quatro has always defied expectations throughout her entire career. An unapologetic insurgent, she set the standard for every female rocker that followed — Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, The Go-Go’s, The Bangles and Girlschool among them — by making it a point to break down the boundaries and silly stereotypes imposed on her by members of the “boys club,” many of whom insisted that women couldn’t rock. These days, at the age of 70, she remains at the peak of her prowess thanks to a searing new album, descriptively titled The Devil in Me, and a determination to parlay her passion without any limits or hesitation. As one of the songs on the new album “Get Outta Jail” insists so incisively, there’s always “one more gig to satisfy, one more gig before I die.”
“I kind of feel about age like I do about gender, and I don’t do either,” Quatro insists. “I’m a musician first and foremost. I’m 70 and proud of it. I’m not chasing 30. In fact, I tell people my age when I go out onstage. I don’t feel any different now than I did when I was 20.
