ON THIS DATE IN IN 2003 AUSTRALIAN ROCK OUTFIT JET RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, GET BORN. THE ALBUM WAS FULL OF HITS INCLUDING “ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL”, “LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE”, “COLD HARD BITCH” “ROLLOVER DJ” AND “GET ME OUTTA HERE” AND WENT ON TO SELL WELL OVER 3 MILLION COPIES. THE BAND AND ALBUM GOT A BOOST MIDWAY THROUGH RECORDING THE ALBUM WHEN THEY GOT A CALL FROM THE ROLLING STONES OFFERING THEM A SLOT ON THE AUSTRALIAN LEG OF THEIR 2003 TOUR…SCORE! SO WHAT ARE THE AUSSIE ROCKERS DOING NOW? EARLIER THIS YEAR JET ANNOUNCED A REUNION AFTER 5 YEARS AND AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES TO CELEBRATE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF GET BORN LATER THIS MONTH, PLAYING THE ALBUM IN IT’S ENTIRETY…BUT IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN RECENT DAYS THAT THEIR ORIGINAL DRUMMER, WHO NOW RESIDES IN L.A., WON’T BE A PART OF THE TOUR. FROM THE 20 YEAR OLD ALBUM GET BORN, I RATHER ENJOY THE ENTIRE ALBUM, BUT “COLD HARD BITCH” ROCKS AND IT MAKES ME SMIRK AND GIGGLE KNOWINGLY AND THAT’S WHY IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X
