NSTS Episode 191 – The Go-Go’s Kathy Valentine

It’s my pleasure this week to host Kathy Valentine of The Go-Go’s on NSTS from her home in Austin, Texas to chat about her fantastic memoir All I Ever Wanted, and of course, the songs that make her skin vibrate. 

Kathy and I have a great down-to-earth discussion about the incredible events she’s experienced in life, both good and bad. She also shares what she had really hoped to convey in her book, how music helped her to feel normal, and how that unorthodox electronic handclap found its way into my favourite Go-Go’s song, “Head Over Heels”.            

Valentine’s playlist:

David Bowie – Rebel Rebel

Rod Stewart – Maggie May

Kenny Burrell – ‘Round Midnight

The Rolling Stones – Sympathy For The Devil

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U
