Episode 101 - Debbi Peterson (The Bangles)

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. We’re back from a long summer hiatus! This week, I’m so happy to have Debbi Peterson on the show! She's the drummer and a founding member of one of the most influential all-female rock bands in music history, The Bangles. From the garage scene in LA to hits like 'Walk Like an Egyptian,' 'Manic Monday,' and 'Eternal Flame,' she's been part of a band that didn't just make great music, they broke down doors for women in rock and pop for decades to come. She's also had a rich career outside the Bangles, from session work to side projects, and she's still out there creating.
