At last, the Go-Go’s got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Thursday, and I wonder what took so long! Weren’t they famous in the 80s?
Their debut and now classic album, ‘Beauty and the Beat’, is from 1981, and it is crazy to think they had to wait 3 decades to see this consecration, but I tend to believe that a star on the Hollywood boulevard goes hand to hand with your wax statue in the museum next door, it’s tacky and a little kitschy, but it’s part of Hollywood. However, their star was placed in front of the former site of legendary punk club, The Masque, where they played their first show, so that makes things a little bit better.
Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine, and Gina Schock, now in their 50s, celebrated the day, posing for the photographers in front of a large crowd,… they made history these girls!
