I watched The Go-Go's documentary on crave and for anyone that's a bit of a fan of rock and roll history its a must watch.


The Go-Go's the only all female band that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs and made it to number 1 on the charts.


This story follows them from their rise from the LA Punk rock scene to their break up to their reunion and its a great, interesting and sometimes uncomfortable watch.


From their rampant drug abuse that for one member went way beyond recreational to their disintegration, by the end of their first run which was amazingly short and meaningful in 1984 you go the sense that these band members did not like each other very much.


The Go-Go's almost became Kiss like in the end after Jane left the band and it was decided to end the band, and Belinda and Charlotte told Kathy and Gina that they were basically studio musicians because Charlotte wrote the songs and Belinda sings the songs.


Wait that's the exact line used in Rock Star.


There were some uncomfortable admissions in this documentary where Jane talked openly about her bi polar disorder and was celebrating that she hadn't thought about killing herself in a year. To Belinda finally admitting that her ego got the best of her.


Raw, uncomfortable fascinating to watch, I really thought it was a meaty honest documentary.


Oh and Stuart Copeland of the Police's reaction when he found out they weren't in the hall of fame was amazing.
