I think the stuff you buy in junior high school from the kid on the Yamaha is not the same as what the guy in LA that runs a head shop has, you know.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a rockstar battling addiction? In this episode of Dopey, Dave and Chris chat with Kathy Valentine, a 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and member of the legendary all-female band, The Go-Go's. Kathy takes listeners on a wild ride through her early days in rock and roll, sharing stories that range from her humble beginnings to her rise to fame.
You'll hear about the highs and lows of her career, including a memorable moment when she dropped acid right before a major record store signing. But it's not all rock and roll glam—Kathy opens up about her struggles with alcohol and cocaine, shedding light on how addiction impacted her life and career. Despite these challenges, she found a way to get sober, and her journey to recovery is nothing short of inspiring.
This episode also features a heartwarming story from Dave, a Dopey email, and Alan's return to the show with his critical review. If you're curious about the intersection of rock music and addiction, or just want to hear an incredible story of resilience, this episode is for you.
