Track 10 The Go-Gos

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.
 


Special Thanks to Alison Ellwood and
Kathy Valentine for being our guests. Thanks also to Lauren
Klaiman, Joanna Salini and everyone at Showtime for their
support.
