My Take
Jane Wiedlin embodies a kind of cheerful defiance I have always loved in musicians. As co-founder and rhythm guitarist of the Go-Go's, she helped one of the first all-female bands to write and play their own material reach the top of the new wave era, no small feat in a male-dominated industry. What I admire is her refusal to be defined by a single lane: a solo career, voice work, even playing Dusk of the Hex Girls. That playful versatility mirrors the freedom in her music. She strikes me as the sort of artist who keeps her edge no matter the decade, and I respect that.
