Jennifer Herrema (born 9 Jun 1975) is an American rock music singer, songwriter, record producer, artist, and model best known for her work as one half of the rock band Royal Trux.
Career
Herrema started the Royal Trux "band" at the age of 16 with partner Neil Hagerty. She has produced and mixed many records under the name Adam & Eve including such artists as The Make-Up, Palace Brothers, Brother JT, Edith Frost, The Delta 72, Woodbine, V-Twin, The Kills, Ping Pong Bitches, Delakota, The Chicks, and Bad Wizard. Herrema has published numerous articles on music, art, fashion, and lifestyle subjects in various publications including Vice Magazine, RayGun, and Dazed & Confused and has conducted interviews with Keith Richards and John Lee Hooker for publication. Her artwork has appeared in gallery exhibitions including "Violence the true way" at the Peter Kilchmann Gallery in Zurich, "Red White Blue" at the Spencer Brownstone Gallery NYC, and the Sanrio-sponsored "KITTY EX." traveling exhibition throughout Japan. She has also written lyrics for a song on Rachel Mason's album The Ambassadors. She was the original "heroin chic" poster girl as interpreted by photographer Steven Meisel for Calvin Klein print ads and TV commercials. She has also appeared in ad campaigns for Hysteric Glamour, H & M, and Henry Duarte as well as appearing in the independent film "Southlander".
Written by guitaristKeith Richards, the song is a response to his arrest for heroin possession in Toronto in February 1977. The criminal charges and prospect of a prison sentence loomed over the Some Girls recording sessions and endangered the future of the Rolling Stones.
In the lyrics, Richards reflects unapologetically on his lifestyle up to that point. The line "it's another goodbye to another good friend" in the first verse can be interpreted as referring to Gram Parsons, Richards's close friend who died in 1973 from a drug overdose, and/or to heroin itself: Richards had sought medical treatment for heroin addiction following his arrest in Toronto, and his resolution to overcome his addiction would be a significant factor in his upcoming trial.
Richards recorded the song in five days without sleeping. Originally entitled "Rotten Roll", the song was recorded in a Paris studio in March 1978 during one of Mick Jagger's absences from the Some Girls sessions. The completed track - "a high-energy rock & roller" - features Richards on lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars and bass; Ronnie Wood on pedal steel guitar, slide guitar and backing vocals, Charlie Watts on drums, and Jagger on backing vocals.
The Royal Trux rocker turned Volcom denim designer shares her style secret: "Clothes will always look good if you feel great." But a raccoon tail or two or three never hurts.

Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone Only a crowd can make you feel so alone And it really hit home Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine Well here's another goodbye to another good friend After all is said and done Gotta move while it's still fun Let me walk before they make me run After all is said and done I gotta move, it's still fun I'm gonna walk before they make me run Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house They're laughing and singing Started dancing and drinking as I left town Gonna find my way to heaven, 'cause I did my time in hell I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well After all is said and done I gotta move I had my fun Let us walk before they make me run After all is said and done I did alright, I had my fun But I will waddle 'fore they make me run But I will walk 'fore they make me run I will walk 'fore they make me run I will walk 'fore they make me run After all is said and done Gotta move, I had my fun Let me walk before they make me run I'm gonna walk before they make me run
