Jane Wiedlin — TMI: Memoirs of a Go-Go

Jane Wiedlin, rhythm guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the Go-Go’s, appears at Union Market for a photo opportunity and discussion of her memoir, *TMI: Memoirs of a Go-Go*. The book offers a candid account of her life in the pioneering all-female rock band, from the early Los Angeles punk scene and the success of “Our Lips Are Sealed” to the group’s touring, internal tensions, breakup, and lasting influence.

Wiedlin also writes about experiences beyond music, including childhood trauma, mental-health challenges, difficult relationships, Hollywood drama, learning music on her own, working in a BDSM dungeon, becoming the world’s first atheist minister, and continually reinventing herself. All books associated with the event will be signed in advance by the author.
