“It's important to me as a writer to push myself out of my comfort zone in order to grow. That's what excites me now.”With her terrific memoir All I Ever Wanted,  bassist Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go’s loves exploring new genres outside of songwriting.As one of the songwriters for The Go-Go’s, Valentine wrote two of their most popular hits in “Vacation” and “Head Over Heels” as well as several other songs. So we’ve been able to check "killer songwriter” off the list for a while. Now we can add “fantastic prose writer”:  All I Ever Wanted is a great book. Our interview was a discussion about Valentine’s process as a songwriter and a prose writer, with a focus on the latter.
