GOING TO A GO-GO WITH THE GO-GO'S: & THE BEAT GOES ON!
The Go-Go’s are Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey and Belinda Carlisle. Kathy comes from Texas, Gina comes from Baltimore but as far as we’re concerned they’re an L.A. band. The Dickies called them “Girl Beatles,” they called themselves the Misfits, and in May of ’78, when this whole thing began, they settled on the Go-Go’s.

The Go-Go’s are Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey and Belinda Carlisle. Kathy comes from Texas, Gina comes from Baltimore but as far as we’re concerned they’re an L.A. band. The Dickies called them “Girl Beatles,” they called themselves the Misfits, and in May of ’78, when this whole thing began, they settled on the Go-Go’s. A good name for a group of choreographed happy pills.
The Go-Go’s like B-movies, Bobby DeNiro, margaritas, rockabilly, reggae, beer, the Hollywood cemetery and boys. Among the boys they like are Lennon and McCartney, Jims Page and Morrison, ZZ Top and Otis Redding. They’ll make an exception for Aretha and the Shangri-Las. Their patron saint is St. Dymthna, Guardian of the Mentally Disturbed, who died a lovely virgin after Dad chopped her head off for refusing to have sex with him.
The Go-Go’s are fine by me.
