Just watched @officialgogos doc and I fell in love with them all over again. @janewiedlin was my first #girlcrush ๐ This lil wanna be punker from #HuntingtonBeach saw em live a dozen times and fantasized about being in a badass all girl band. HOW ARE THEY NOT IN THE @rockhall ??
Interesting nugget in the doc about the white nationalist underbelly permeating punk at the time. In 79 my boyfriend took me to The Golden Bear in HB & the audience was full of โSurf Nazisโ. Interestingly read an article about that culture this morning: nytimes.com/2019/09/28/opiโฆ
This distressed me greatly because I was an avid reader, especially of history. I had tested for the MGM program at Edison HS (Mentally Gifted Minors) & was gutted by the rise of the fascism adulation I witnessed from the skinheads I went to school w in the late 70s/early 80s.
A few months ago I heard Iโll be inducted into EHSโs Hall of Fame for which I am deeply honored. But I know that some of those classmates are now hard-core racists & Trumpsters. It sickens me to remember some of them in Doc Martins & swastikas. This is how we got here, America.
