ALBANY, N.Y. -- Does Howard Dean love rock 'n' roll? He'd better or he may hear from one of his potential national convention delegates.

A slate of convention delegate candidates from New York made public Wednesday by the Dean presidential campaign includes Joan Jett, whose 1981 song with the Blackhearts "I Love Rock-n-Roll" has become a rock anthem. She lists a home address in Rockville Centre, Long Island.

"This whole process intrigues me," Jett told The Associated Press Wednesday. "I am a virgin here. I'm stepping into new territory. It's very exciting. I want to learn a lot and try to pay attention."

If she is elected during New York's March 2 presidential primary, Jett would go to the Democratic National Convention next summer as a Dean delegate.
