New Mullet on Monday - Jane Wiedlin

Something that seems to have escaped my memory -- plenty of women were sporting mullets in the '80s. It is possible that I had blocked it out, having briefly worn one myself. Oh, the pain...

Anyway, our first female New Mullet on Monday is Jane Wiedlin, the cute-as-a-button rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist for The Go-Go's, and singer in her own right, having produced five solo albums. The mullet was one of the many hairstyles seen on Wiedlin over the years.

After spending some time apart in the latter half of the '80s, the original members of The Go-Go's reunited in 1990 and have been playing together ever since. The band also released an original album, God Bless the Go-Go's, in 2001. 2006 found the band touring together to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Beauty and the Beat.

Jane Wiedlin, either with a mullet or a pinned-back illusion of one, with Sparks. Sharing in the mulletdom, Russell Mael of Sparks.

As for Sparks, they are still together, and released their 20th studio album, Hello Young Lovers, in 2006.
