The Go-Gos enter the Rock hall of Fame

All of which reminds me of a story, apropos to current events. Back in the late 70's, early 80's MFR lived in a four family in Columbus. Her best friends were a Jewish couple from Cleveland. The other two apartments were occupied by a couple Kuwaiti grad students (with slave for their kid) and a couple Syrians or somewhere over there. One day Vicki came in and one of the Arabs started in on her 'Your country ATTACKED mine!!!' to which she responded 'Who? Who did Cleveland attack?'

Saw them open for The Police. At that time they had one or two hits but those hits were groundbreaking.

Their cover of Hazy Shade of Winter is killer.

This video was done about two decades ago. The audio is very good and their voices were in their early 40's, which means about as good as it gets.
How many singers today, could lay this down without autotune and playing their own instruments?

Lastly (or maybe not)...Something you may or may not know... Eternal Flame is one of the band's biggest hits.
To increase the feeling of vulnerability, Hoffs laid down the vocal tracks while naked.
I guess it worked...
