I grew up with late 80’s Belinda Carlisle — Heaven is a Place on Earth, etc. — and I never knew she’d been in a punk-pop all girl band. Thank you for educating me!

Although I don’t like thinking about how much further $2,000 would have gone in the 1970’s.

Oh, that's a painful thought! $2000 was a LOT of money back then. So glad to help!

I too went to this concert with a group of friends in 6th grade for my birthday in Baton Rouge La. You absolutely nailed the euphoria.

This article caught my eye because I was 13 in 1983 and would have died to go to a Go-Gos concert. Going to download Beauty and the Beat now. Thanks for making my day with this great read!
