She lives in California with her husband and two daughters. For more than thirty years, Pat Benatar has been one of mostrar mais the most iconic women in rock music, with songs like "Heartbreaker," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," and "Love Is a Battlefield" becoming anthems for generations of fans.

Always had been a huge fan but after reading her talk about her challenges in the recording industry and how hard she had to fight for her vision, I have nothing but the utmost respect for her. Honest without being gossipy, she keeps the focus on her experiences without intention of getting back at those who wronged her. It's a book I want to read again.

EDIT: And I have read it again. It's inspired me so much, especially when she talks about why she sings. I'm now working my way through her back catalog.… (mais)

I flew through this book! It's not long and drawn out like many other music biographies are, it's succinct, raw, honest, and straight to the point. Plus as far as rockers go, Pat has had a pretty tame life. No booze, drugs, scandals, or rehab have marred her reputation. She's straitlaced but still kicks ass and has a great time doing it. Pat chronicles her childhood, her rise to fame, marriage, motherhood, and making come backs. Before reading this I only knew the essential Pat Benatar songs, but now I have a whole new appreciation of her and the struggles she faced (namely music executives and record companies) trying to be a female rock singer in the eighties.… (mais)
