Question about 'Prey'...title of movie and Jackie's tattoo

Hey everyone....I just saw this movie this weekend and it was awesome...much better than I expected. The cast, story, everything was great.

I have a question...

The title of the movie is "Prey for Rock n Roll", and I noticed that Jackie had a tattoo that said "prey" along her right knuckles...does anyone know if it was explained in the movie...is "Prey" Jackie's last name, her nickname, or something else?? I thought it might have been the name of the band, but I found out it's "Clam Dandy"...does anyone know?! I missed the first 15 minutes of the movie...so maybe it was explained then but I missed it..

THANKS!

It would appear that Lovedog's partner and father of her son has the last name of PREY. ;)

This is my opinion...
Prey: One that is defenseless, especially in the face of attack; a victim.
O.k. That is the definition of 'prey'. In a way, Jacki is 'prey' to rock & roll. She has let her life become consumed by rock & roll. Near the begining after the concert when she is riding in the back of the truck she says that she has lived everything rock & roll. At the end, the Clam Dandys never make it big. So, its sort of like they were victims of a rock & roll lifestyle.

i thought it was Pray for rock and roll for along time. Like praying to god. Then i realized prey... like the victim. so then i was like "Victim for Rock & Roll" oooo new meaning. So i watched the movie again with that state of mind and was like "That was a lil' bit more depressing than before" not depressing but put me in a "i'm sorry jacki" sort of mood

I need more parts...
