When I left Baltimore I put everything I owned in my dad's pick-up truck and drove cross-country to make it as a rockstar in L.A.

Every time I see a story about the Go-Go's, it sounds like a gossip column about our health or our love life.

First of all, The Go-Go's have always had pop melodies, OK? And the punk aspect was just at the root of it.

We made some mistakes, but we made some great strides too. Certainly we changed the way that record labels looked at women.

One thing I did inject was a different work ethic: Guys, no, we don't rehearse once or twice a month, we rehearse every day after work and on weekends, and that's how we're gonna get better. And everybody adopted that work ethic, and it did pay off.

All these years later there's still something magical when we play. Who would've thought when we started out that 40 years later we'd still be together and people would still be interested.

For us, gender didn't come up. We were friends who happened to play together. We never said, 'Gee, we're an all-girl band!'

So I had an operation. So what? If I die, I die. I'm more interested in my music.

It wouldn't be in the typical fashion of the Go-Go's that anything isn't a struggle.

We definitely were a punk band. When we got in with our producer, Richard Gottehrer, he slowed everything down so that you could actually hear what Belinda was singing.
