Well, that text got me started. I sent Dion the youtube Our Lips Are Sealed by the Go-Go’s with Belinda as lead singer. The Go-Go’s are the most successful all-girl band of all time. Briefly in the 1980’s they were the IT group and Belinda Carlisle the IT girl. I mean, are you kidding me, look at them? Sexy and flirty and free, driving (soo American) and singing and goofing, frolicking in a fountain, Belinda, American white perfect teeth, beautiful as a flower, still with her baby fat, as much youthful energy as an atomic bomb. This is the forever-young SoCal Belinda Carlisle, America’s darling.
