The Go-Go’s - 2020 - 7/10
Plenty here for fans of the punk band who morphed into power pop sweethearts.
Fairly amazing footage of early years at the Masque and Whisky.
The girls are also frank about misdeeds and betrayals.
That includes those who were fired or jettisoned for “the next level.”
Enjoyment varies. The meteoric rise is thrilling. Sustaining the peak proved difficult.
Of the females interviewed, two are blunt and funny, two are direct and honest, one is a career diplomat.
A startling moment (for me) came early on, as the camera panned down a monthly lineup of groups performing at one of the clubs. I recognized several I had actually seen, and had not thought of in decades.
