    About this ebook

    One of the best-selling female rock stars of all time, the incomparable Pat Benatar writes about her life, rock ’n’ roll, and how her generation changed music forever in Between a Heart and a Rock Place. The first solo female rocker ever to appear on MTV, Benatar writes with the same edge and attitude that was a hallmark of her music—from “Heartbreaker” to “Hit Me with Your Best Shot.” The winner of four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Female Rock performance, Pat Benatar tells a fascinating, no-holds-barred story of what it was really like to be a woman in the mostly male world of hard rock in the ’80s.

      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.

      I love the strong women of rock music. This autobiography is a frank account of Benatar's resolve to become a singer. While an original plan to get accepted at Juilliard was derailed, she was confident of her ability to sing and perform. Career highlights include a Grammy in 1980 and being one of the first performers on a new TV channel, MTV, in 1981. She finds the current MTV has changed so much it has little to do with music anymore. Nowadays she's happy singing Broadway tunes in the car on her way to pick up her daughter and friends.Benatar makes an excellent role model: no bad news, just a girl who knew what she wanted. She has been married to Neil (Spyder) Giraldo since 1982. She may not have known how to get there, but - most of the time - she knew what to avoid. I have nothing but praise for her dedication and ethics - as well as her music of course.
