Track08 - Kathy Valentine

Text, Prose & RocknRoll

On this Track, Kris welcomes GoGo’s bassist Kathy Valentine as she discusses her memoir, “All I Ever Wanted”. From latchkey child in Texas to Madison Square Garden, Kathy and the GoGos broke barriers as the first successful all-female band. Like her rock mentor, Suzi Quatro , also a recent guest on Text Prose & RocknRoll, Kathy helped to forge a path for others. But things didn’t come as easily to Kathy, who fought addiction, and inner-band drama along the way. This is the first of a two part interview.
