        My first concert ever was the Go-Go’s at Red Rocks in 1984. I was 16, it was magical ❤️

        I can happily listen to multiple tracks from the Beauty and the Beat album today. Especially: This Town, Fading Fast, and Automatic. The I.R.S record label had some great bands at that time!pic.twitter.com/v4pNYGO4MT

        Hello??? No mention of @KROQ in the early 80s? The Roxy, The Whiskey, The Troubadour-- The LA punk scene? There's a whole history missing from this piece which explains the rise of The Go-Go's.

        Seen 'em on Octobet 1st, 1981, they opened for the Rolling Stones in Rockford, IL. They were young and good.

        Their 3rd album, "Talk Show," was their best. It was also by far their least successful. Well worth a listen if you haven't heard it.

        OOh, look at the once sterling New York Times trying to be so edgy: "They kicked___". My how you've progressed.

        Lived across the street from them when I was a really young kid. My Dad knew Belinda from work. They did kick ass. Great story.

        Actually Fanny was, but the Go-Go’s were the first to get in heavy rotation on the radio and have a #1 album. And the Runaways had a male manager controlling them, which the Go-Go’s didn’t.

        Mgt isn’t playing on stage. They dumped him in LA Joan Jett pretty much ran the band, that’s why the”Runaways “ were dropped & it became Joan Jett
