Happy birthday, Jane Wiedlin!

Okay, so it was yesterday, but some things should be noted and celebrated, and the birth of one of the primary composers from the Go-Go's is one of them. She is-brace yourself, TTEC-49.

That first picture, BTW, comes from Ms. Wiedlin's own journal, so it's not like I'm presenting her in a way other than which she would wish to be represented.

The second picture is my favorite of her solo albums (actually, the only one I own).

Personally, I wish she wouldn't go and do things like The Surreal Life which make it harder to defend her from accusations of being a has-been.

But I choose to believe her and the other Go-Go's accomplishments will outlast that.
