Kathy Valentine

Kathy Valentine is a smart, resilient rock ‘n’ roller with much to say. Propelling the Go-Go’s with her innovative bass playing, writing and singing, she experienced the thrills of performing great songs to massive audiences while learning how much the deck remains stacked against female musicians. Speaking from her Texas home, she discusses the creation of those wonderful songs, the band’s overdue induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, continued battles for reproductive rights and equality, and the writing of her alternately heartbreaking and exhilarating memoir, All I Ever Wanted.
