Welcome to Wheels Off, a show about the messy reality of the creative life. I'm Rhett Miller.

That's when it got wheels off.

He started ugly ain't gonna stop.

Oh, she made me feel like a good God. That's when it got wheels off. Allow me to introduce a woman who needs no introduction.

She's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member, the guitarist, and songwriter, for the all-female band of the Go-Go's.

She is currently recording as part of a two-piece band

with an Italian singer-songwriter named Pietro Strachia, named Electro D.D. is for short.

And she's an activist, she's outspoken, she's hilarious.

She's one of my heroes.

I did not bring it up during the course of our interview, but one of my first records

that I sent off to the Columbia Records and Tapes Club from, which also kids, if you don't

know what that was, Google it.

It's hilarious that that was a thing.

You know, it was Beauty and the Beat.

I have been a fan of hers for as long as I can remember.

I've gotten to meet her a couple of times over the years.

We know each other via social media, as is, I guess, a pretty

normal thing these days for people in our profession to do. But it was so cool to get to speak

with her in person via Zoom and to connect on a human level and to hear her stories and to laugh

with her. Now, be forewarned, there's

some barking of dogs. You may hear some yard work happening, especially at the very beginning.
