Editor's note:On Oct. 29, , on the 62nd birthday of her ex-husband, the aforementioned Moody Blues founder Denny Laine, Jo Jo Laine passed away. Hers was more than a rock 'n' roll life - her sparkling personality made her attractive to everyone she came in contact with. This is my story originally published in the North Shore Sunday, a Massachusetts Sunday paper published in the Gloucester/Rockport area.

LIFE BEYOND ROCK & ROLL
At 14 years old, a young Joanne Patrie mailed a letter from her Danvers home to The Boston Herald defending John Lennon during the flap over his "We're more popular than Jesus now" quote.

'Rock chick' Jo Jo Laine dies after falling down the stairs
Jo Jo Laine - one of the original 'rock chicks' - has died after hitting her head falling down a flight of stairs.
The year-old, who married Wings guitarist Denny Laine after meeting him backstage at a gig, had been in a coma since the accident last week.
Miss Laine, who was suffering from liver cancer, was one of the most famous figures on the seventies rock scene.
The flamboyant former model counted Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart and Jim Morrison among her many lovers and travelled the world with Paul and Linda McCartney as Denny's wife.
Before her death the mother of three spoke of her sadness at the accusations levelled against Sir Paul by his estranged wife Heather Mills.
'This is not the Paul I know', she said.
'He would never raise his hand to a woman and always refused cocaine when it was offered to him on tour.
'These allegations are all rubbish.'
Miss Laine's daughter Heidi, 31, said: 'In many ways it is a release for her. My brothers and I are very upset they we are never going to see our mother again.
'She was so full of life that it seems impossible she is gone'.

Here&#;s how it happened.
| Jo Jo Laine, nee Joanne Lapatrie |
I fell to musing on Denny Laine&#;s brief tenure with the band which went on to such success without him. That led me to research him on Wikipedia. There I learned he&#;d married someone named Jo Jo Laine. She has her own Wikipedia article. So I clicked on over to it.
Jo Jo, nee Joanne Lapatrie, is variously described as a model, singer and actress. She's also described as a groupie in the s and s. Born in or , she was of my generation, only a year or two older than I. That was intriguing, so I ventured on, plodding through many web pages on various
