If you grew up in the 1980s then you know who Pat Benatar is. She was an awesome singer, an original "rock chick", who had numerous hit including "Love is a Battlefield", "Heartbreaker", "We Belong", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "You Better Run" -- the second video to ever appear on MTV on August 1st, 1981 (right after "Video Killed the Radio Star") and the first by a woman. Pat's songs populate jukeboxes around the world today and they define modern day classic rock.
Best of all, Pat's a New York girl, born in Brooklyn (yeah!) and raised on Long Island (yeah ...). Anyway, she has a new book out called Between a Heart and Rock Place and she recently did a wonderful interview on WNYC that you can listen to here.

I love her! I always do "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" on the rare occasion I might be doing Karaoke:)
