Speaker 2: other countries.

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I know, I know. Well, I've been on

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: a few aeroplanes the past six months. But it was

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: weird finally doing it again. And I'm definitely excited to

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: come to Australia. I love love, love it, and I'm

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: abrado and I wasn't sure it was going to happen

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: really and now everybody says, our systems go. So I'll

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: be there in February. R Lind.

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: When was the last time you were here?

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I think three years ago? It was about almost three

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: years ago. I usually come, you know, every other year,

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: and I have come every other year for the past

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: I think fifteen years or so. So yeah, it's been

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: three years.

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: Oh well, we're desperate to see you.

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Would you could you ever have imagined that when you

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 2: made the decision to go solo thirty five years ago,

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: that all of this would come together for you, and

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: here you are celebrating all that with another too, that

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: you'd still be.

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Going I know, honestly. I mean when the Gogoes broke up,

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't know how to do anything else,

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: so I thought, you know, I had the opportunity, so

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, might as well. I mean, I

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: can give it a shot. And I had no expectations.

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: So it was I mean, was mad about you. The

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: first single it was, I mean, it was really big

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: in America, but it didn't have the worldwide sort of

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't a world global hit. And then to have

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Heaven come along on the second solo album was like,

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: oh my god. So it's actually like being struck by

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: lightning three times. I had no idea this is all

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. And you know, here I am, you know,

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: forty three years later from when we put the Go

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Gos together, and I'm still you know, making music and loving.

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: It, and you look the Go Goes. When you left

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: the Go Goes? Was that that wasn't acrimonious? I can't

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: remember it was okay or was it bad?

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: No, it was acrimonious, of course, But it's all the

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: cliches a breakup any band. But I mean we got

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: back together and worked off and on from nineteen eighty

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: nine to pretty much present, and we were just inducted

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: into the Rock and Wall Hall of Fame three weeks ago.

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant.

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: It's like those those early days of success sounded pretty wild.

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: I was reading that at a party for the Go Gos,

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: Liza Minelli and Andy Warhol turn up Rod Stewart through

58
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: a party for you.

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 3: In reality, that must have been incredible times.

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, you know we were young and and

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: had no responsibilities, no families. You know, we had money

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: and we took advantage of it. And you're traveling around

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: the world, so we were doing the same thing that

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: boys were doing, you know. But of course it makes

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: more noise being a girl.

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, But it's also hard too, because in your twenty

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: ten book you write that you don't think you ever

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: remember going on stage completely sober for years and years

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: and years. It must have been hard to change that around,

70
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: to go from being wasted on stage to being sober.

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, you know something, I thought that it was going

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: to be hard, but because I had always you know,

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm basically kind of a shy person, and the idea

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: of what I do for I've been doing for, you know,

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: as my career. I mean, when you really think about it,

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of scary, like putting yourself out there in

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: front of people. So it always, you know, it'd always

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: have a couple of drinks and sometimes it turned into

79
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: more than a couple of drinks. But I was I

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: was really worried that I wouldn't be able to do it,

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: and I found that it's way easier and to be

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: and you're more present, and you know, it's just a

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: much more enjoyable experience.

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: And really, you couldn't have had this longevity. No, if

85
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: you'd kept on at that pace, I don't think it'd

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: be possible.

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. No, I mean, I don't

88
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: know if i'd even be around. But you know, I'm lucky.

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I've been. This has been you know, what I do

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: for a living for forty three years, and yeah, I mean,

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I still enjoy traveling and still enjoy making.

92
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: Music, and you're doing it so well. You know, I

93
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 4: have a confession to make many years ago when Leave

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: a Light On came out with this is how long

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: I've been in radio for. We're playing it on vinyl

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: on a single, and I used to smoke back in

97
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: those days. So your song was on and I've gone

98
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: out for a cigarette and I'm just standing at outside

99
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: of the studio and I'm listening to a little monitor,

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: and you know the bit where it says baby got

101
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 4: your heart, Baby got your Heart? There was and you

102
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 4: know how it's sort of in the song, it actually

103
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: jumps a little bit, like you repeat the lyric. It

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: seemed to be at that time there was a jump

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: in the record at that exact site, same spot, So

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 4: I wasn't really listening to the record. I'm just there

107
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: and it just kept repeating. And then the studio hotline

108
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: rang and the boss He's gone, what the hell's going on?

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: I said, what do you mean? And he said, Blinda

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: Carlos has been jumping for the last three minutes.

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're so it was, Oh my god, that's

112
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: so funny. It goes it goes, it does that twice,

113
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't do it for three minutes.

114
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: No, So I was beat mixing you before anyone else was. Man,
