On This Day in Herstory: The Go-Go's Sign Deal With IRS Records
If what transpired at Kelbo's Tiki Hut in Hollywood on April 1, 1981, is as significant to you as it is for me, there's no better place to read all about it than HERE.

UPDATE: Very sad to learn that Adam died today at 52. :-(
Read that Adam Schlesinger -- best known for his work with Fountains and Wayne and (my favorite) Ivy -- was in dire condition thanks to the coronavirus. Turns out it's not quite as grim as first reported -- he's NOT in a medically induced coma -- but he is on a ventilator fighting for his life. Thinking of how much great music he's given us, such as this classic he wrote for the 1996 film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, who was the first celebrity to be diagnosed with the dangerous virus.
I had the chance to meet Adam at a gig for Fever High -- the Bananarama-esque group he plays with now -- a few years ago and he's what you'd call a mensch, happy to chat with a fan and even share a little gossip. Here's wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

Update from his Fountains of Wayne bandmate Chris Collingwood.
