GoGo Germaine: A Riot Grrrl’s Fury Painted Black

Teen rebellion, hard truths, and synesthesia as a super power

GoGo Germaine: A Riot Grrrl’s Fury Painted Black

Author and music journalist Erin Barnes, a.k.a. GoGo Germaine, shares the highs and lows of her girl gang days as a teen rebel. Her book Glory Guitars: Memoir of a ‘90s Teenage Punk Rock Grrrl chronicles Gogo’s questionable firsts at varying degrees of sobriety. There’s more than meets the eye to a woman who discovered she can see the true colors and healing power of music and words.
