Behind the Music - Season 1 Episode 110
A look at the first group of women rock stars who played their instruments, wrote their own songs and made it to the top. The band discusses their origins on the LA hardcore punk scene, their commercial makeover into America's sweethearts with the release of their number one debut album "Beauty and the Beat," and the difficulty of reconciling their cute and bubbly public image with a much racier private reality of sex, drugs, and rock star living. The band members go into detail about their devastating heroin and cocaine abuse, and the financial and emotional jealousies which destroyed the band after only three albums. After 15 years of alienation, the Go Go's are finally healing their old wounds and they're back together in the studio, rehearsing for their first album in nearly two decades and prepping for a summer tour with the B-52's. Includes interviews with band members, Miles Copeland and Jay Boberg (former IRS Records executives), Ginger Canzoneri (former manager), Kent J. Smythe (former roadie), Bruce Patron (former tour manager), and Pleasant Gehman (friend).
