The Go-Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed

[@charlie-obrien]

For those of you who might be wondering what it was like in 1981 to be young and feel on top of the world with your friends... This is exactly how it was. The Go-Go's will always be the perfect representation of that capsule in time.

[@srkbear1]

@@tmklunk Actually, I was there-were you? I vividly recall three solid albums in their heyday, including a smash debut-followed by a career of many great songs, with several classics-and more importantly the first band comprised completely of women to be taken seriously. No Svengalis, no ghost writers, no novelty stunts or corporate manipulation. They worked their asses off paying their dues on the Sunset Strip and LA clubs until they earned attention for their playing and songwriting skills, and got signed. It may be easy to shrug that off now, but back in 1981 “all girl” rock and roll groups didn’t exist-the closest thing to it were The Runaways, and they were totally the product of a sleazy Svengali-selected for their sex appeal, not their musicianship, and they were sold and packaged as a titillating novelty band. Only Joan Jett (and Michael Steele from the Bangles, who was an early member) turned out to actually have talent. Heart was a pseudo-predecessor but they were front women to an all-guy band. The Go-Gos were not marketed as eye candy (they cut their teeth as a punk band and they’d never tolerate that)-they emerged unheralded as a rock and roll band comprised of women, and we’d never seen anything like that before. It sparked a huge, ridiculous-in-retrospect debate at the time about whether they were a “real rock and roll band”, and I recall reading pages of backlash from the rock magazines back then about whether women could really play rock and roll. This was actually a huge topic of discussion that was depressingly given legitimacy-they shook up the myth of rock and roll as a man’s job, and their success spoke for itself. They paved the way for countless all-women bands that have achieved considerable success in subsequent years, and that fact alone is worth the Go-Go’s inclusion in the Hall of Fame-whether you think that organization has credibility or not. They were much more than “one or two decent songs”.

I was 9 when I watched this masterpiece in 1982 April. In the next semester, I was dancing this song in a school party with my lovely girl school mate. HAPPIEST moment in the most happy age of my entire life. Now, re-watching this beauty (and re-listening this beat) in full High Definition Sound & Vision, I cry in happiness for pure nostalgia. Good Old Times... The 80's branded themselves on our hearts. We take them with us.

My first class at Pasadena City College was Latin. On the first day a woman in my class hollered "yeah!" In response to my Black Flag shirt. I had no idea who she was. Two weeks after the end of the semester I went to a show of photography documenting the early LA punk scene. In a photo of the Gogos I recognized my classmate! It was the Bass player Kathy Valentine!
