Premieres at 8 p.m. Friday on Showtime. In many ways the Go-Go’s story told in the new Showtime documentary of the same name is a classic tale of a seminal rock ’n’ roll band, from the humble beginnings to the early personnel changes to the rise to international stardom to the exhilaration of topping the charts to the dumping of the loyal first manager to the overindulgence of certain substances to the squabbles over royalty payments to the bitter breakup and ultimately a reconciliation. (Maybe the snub has something to do with Hall co-founder Jann Wenner, whose Rolling Stone covers of the band included such headlines as “Go-Go’s Put Out” and “Go-Go’s: Women on Top.” Enlightened.). I mean, that doesn't happen so often; I think maybe 20 artists have had that in the history of music, something ridiculous like that. So the band’s manager, Ginger Canzoneri, did the only sane thing: she snatched a grapefruit off the groaning board and hurled it. 1 on the Billboard 200; it held that top spot for six straight weeks. Showtime presents a documentary directed by Alison Ellwood. “I do think it's personal. To casual fans who remember the Go-Go’s for such infectious pop classics as “We Got the Beat” and “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “Vacation,” it might come as a surprise to learn the group started as a loud, raucous, wild and not particularly tuneful punk band. We performed OLAS and WGTB. “This band caught my … They know how I feel. However, as revealed in the Showtime documentary, the disastrous performance could have been a career-killer, because the Go-Go’s were so intoxicated at the time that they barely muddled through. You can't deny what we've done. Chicago police called to domestic incident at home of ex-Supt. Eddie Johnson: sources. “It was really like one big party all the time. Wiedlin, Caffey, Kathy Valentine, Gina Schock and lead singer Belinda Carlisle all contribute candid interviews, as does former manager Ginger Canzoneri, … Remember, you're playing in front of 50 million people!’ “And we were like, ‘Oh no!’ … You can see the terror on my face [in the SNL footage], because I'm like, ‘F***!’” (The infamous performance begins at the three-minute mark here.). So I don’t think anybody was their kindest self during that period.”, The Go-Go’s reunited in ‘90s and have intermittently recorded and performed ever since; they’re definitely enjoying a renaissance right now, thanks not only to the documentary and their jukebox musical Head Over Heels, but also their first new song since 2001, “Club Zero.” (As for whether there will be more new music coming, Caffey quips, “We do everything in 20-year [increments]. About 11:15 a.m., the man, believed to be in his 40s, was shot by the homeowner during a burglary in the 7100 block of South Mozart Street. We never really resolved stuff. Whew! But her sobriety, along with Wiedlin’s departure, contributed to the end of the Go-Go’s in 1985. We put ourselves together. Caffey in particular went to a very dark place (to put in perspective, at the Rock in Rio festival, she was so high, she got kicked of Ozzy Osbourne’s dressing room), developing a “full-blown heroin addiction.” However, she not only managed to hide this from the press, which was still playing up the group’s girl-next door image, but she tried to hide it from her fellow Go-Go’s as well. “She disappeared,” Wiedlin explains. “Ginger [Canzoneri], our manager, says she has a file full of rejection letters for that very reason.”, “I would love to read all those letters,” Caffey laughs. You never know with this bunch.”) Caffey describes The Go-Go’s, directed by Alison Ellwood, as an “incredible story” that was extremely “healing” for her to watch, and Carlisle says, “When I saw it, it really made me emotional. Ironically, only a couple years earlier, even though the Go-Go’s were one of the top-drawing bands in Los Angeles, every major label had passed on them. “I love communities of women,” Canzoneri says in the film. The band’s frontwoman Belinda Carlisle and guitarist Charlotte Caffey remember exactly where they were when they heard the news — delivered personally by Sting, who came bearing a bottle of champagne. Sign up for the I was devoid of empathy. It was not happening,” says Caffey. Know about breaking news as it happens. I'm just stating facts.”. Here’s the latest news on how COVID-19 is impacting Chicago and Illinois. With all of these new accolades and accomplishments, it seems like the time is right for the Go-Go’s to finally enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We've learned how since, but not back then.
