The Go-Go's were rightfully inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. This was the pinacle of their career, and they wrapped up their time as a band in 2022 - if Belinda Carlisle is to be believed. They've broken up before, though, so we'll see.
At any rate, let's feature the band's last Top 20 hit - from 1984 - and the song Jane Wiedlin calls her "favorite Go-Go's song." Written by Charlotte Caffey (the only one without a short haircut in this video) and Kathy Valentine (the bassist - who wrote herself a somewhat iconic solo), the song is pop-rock perfection.
In this 2001 performnace at Central Park, we get to see the problem with Go-Go's live performances - the camera is almost never on Gina Schock..... but when it is, you can see she's a bad-ass drummer.
