Originally, Pat Benatar wanted to teach sex ed. She had a German voice teacher who taught her how to use her voice properly and had her singing like Julie Andrews. Early on, she had an interest in music and thanks to dedicated music teachers in her school system, got classical training early. Pat Benatar wisely wrote this book with ghost writer Patsi Bale Cox.īenatar starts at the beginning, writing about her upbringing in New York, a tiny girl of Polish and Irish extraction among exotice Italian girls in Lindenhurst, Long Island. Anyway, I have always liked Pat Benatar’s music, so I decided to download her 2010 book Between a Heart and a Rock Place: A Memoir. Thinking back on it, times were very different in the early 80s. I remember struggling to save up about $8, walking down the busy highway next to my house to Murphy’s Mart, and handing over the crumpled bills for that album, which I then proceeded to play over and over again for years. In fact, the very first record I ever purchased with my own money was a copy of Crimes of Passion (1980). It appears as/is!Įver since I was a little knothead in Virginia I have admired rock star Pat Benatar. Here’s another reposted Epinions book review from December 2013.
