⚡️On this weeks episode we get to chat with the Queen of our dreams Jane Wiedlin, innovative guitarist and songwriter of The Go-Go's and author of upcoming tell-all "TMI" and ask all of the burning questions! The bucket list is real folks!😍 We talk about the band’s origin in the LA punk scene, how they broke through with pop-forward songs, and why their all-female success was so groundbreaking. We also get deep on creativity, sexism, bipolar disorder, menopause, hormone therapy, and Jane’s new memoir and protest album. We dive into Jane’s path from glitter rock to Hollywood punk, the realities of touring 300 days a year, and the legacy of being the first all-female band to write, play, and hit number one on the charts. We also break into a frank, practical conversation about midlife health, quality of life, and what it means to fight for yourself as a woman in this wild sh*tshow of a world! ⚡️
