“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

Wiedlin, who plays guitar in The Go-Go's, wrote this song with producer Joe Hardy. Says Wiedlin: "I love the song 'The Good Wife.' Another song about me: I think I was 12 years into a marriage at that time, and I tried really hard to be a good wife, and just had come to the conclusion that I just couldn't do it. A lot of times, I think, at the end of a relationship you do become sort of disillusioned with the idea of forever love and romance, and marriage itself. And that song kind of addresses it. It's kind of a self-loathing song, too, because it's like, 'I'm just a piece of crap who can't keep it together.' (laughs) But I really like that song, because it really represents what I was going through at the time." (Thanks to Jane for speaking with us about this song.
