Kathy Valentine agrees there's some irony in being the Go-Go's member who wrote "Can't Stop the World," the closing track from the group's multi-platinum debut album Beauty and the Beat. "I guess I was wrong -- you can stop the world," Valentine tells Billboard with a laugh. "All it takes is a pandemic to stop the world.
It's pretty funny." Coronavirus cancellations have scotched Valentine's plans for events to promote her new book All I Ever Wanted: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir -- including a launch during South By Southwest in her hometown of Austin, Texas last week.
But it hasn't at all diminished Valentine's enthusiasm for the autobiography and its companion album of the same name, whose track "Camouflage" is premiering exclusively below.
