Track 10 The Go-Gos
from Text, Prose & RocknRoll Hosted by Kathy Valentine, Text Prose & RockNRoll Podcast, Go-To Productions, Kris Kosach, Charlene Goto, Alison Ellwood
When they burst onto the scene in the 80s, The Go-Gos became the darlings of MTV. But their rise to fame wasn’t the bubblegum fairytale their image radiated. Instead, it was filled with grit, and hard work and a punk rock ethic. This week we explore their journey from LA’s tiny clubs to Madison Square Garden.
