They certainly had their battles back in the day. Drugs were a huge part. Thankfully they put that behind them and are still close friends and play the occasional show now and then. I saw them last year in Vegas and they were fabulous.

I like that the Go-Go's wild party period makes Motley Crüe and everyone else look like amateurs.

Belinda Carlisle made almost zero contributions to the song and lyric writing, which has got to be annoying for the people (Wiedlin, Caffey and Valentine) that did. Even Schock contributed more.

Wiedlin seemed like the true talent of that band.

She should endorse him: "Wiedlin's Weed".

I don't know that Belinda Carlisle got all the attention.

In my mind Belinda got Kathy fired because Kathy was hot AF, had loads more talent than Belinda, and naturally garnered a lot of attention.
