The story of Pat Benatar is about a woman, empowered despite the male-dominated system, who in cahoots with her six-string partner-for-life, Neil Giraldo (aka Spider) kicked the world square in the ass, repeatedly! Her music reached beyond the Pop pablum assigned to many women of the era! Showing that there was more than primp and Hollywood scenester hard rock, Pat delivered real rock, and gave millions of young women and girls, with their own musical dreams, a hero!
