The Go-Go's will be entered into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Class of 2021 : "Go, Go, Banana!"
"We knew that, for whatever reason, we weren’t one of the popular kids in class when it came to this whole Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thing, for a long time. And so I just didn’t think about it ever. I was like, “For whatever reason, they just don’t like us and they never will.” And then everything shifted and there became this possibility that it might happen. I was pretty afraid to be hopeful. I don’t like to get my hopes dashed. And when we found out it actually happened, I was dumbstruck. I was afraid to hope; I really was. And then it happened. It’s hard to express how exciting it is to be induced in the cool kids. It’s amazing."

The Go-Go's | 'It's Everything But Partytime'
They'll join the Ramones, Talking Heads, the Clash, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, the Police, Blondie, the Sex Pistols, Patti Smith, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, the Cure and their old pals Green Day in the Hall.
"Pat Smear called me yesterday. We were discussing the punk-rock roots of the Foo Fighters and the Go-Go’s. At that time, he appeared to not know that he was in. I guess we’ll all be there. I guess we’ll have to play an original Germs song, or something. [Laughs] Let’s do “Forming.” It’s got two chords."
- Charlotte Caffey, Rolling Stone
"I guess everybody will say pretty much the same thing, but we’re extremely excited about this. I feel like we’re getting the Academy Award of Music. It’s like a Lifetime Achievement Award. I’m extremely excited and very grateful."
- Gina Schock, Rolling Stone
