Rock ’n’ Roll Icon. Feminist. Trailblazer. Wife &amp; Mother. Put all that together (and then some!) and you have this weeks muse, the incredible <strong>Pat Benatar</strong>! </span></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10687"></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10690"><span id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10691">Growing up Pat dreamed of being part of a dynamic rock ’n’ roll duo. Jagger &amp; Richards, Plant &amp; Page, she may have had the vocal chops but to make it to Rocks greatest heights she knew she needed a phenomenal guitarist by her side. It was while working on her first album, In the <em>Heat of the Night</em>, that Pat was introduced to <strong>Neil (Spyder) Giraldo</strong>. In Pat’s words “From he moment he stepped into the room our lives changed- first musically and later romantically and spiritually. Without Neil my career would not have happened, because I am not responsible for it, we are responsible for it, all of it. We were each others Muse.”</span></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10692"></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10695"><span id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10696">Together they worked hard to build a musical career that has spanned nearly 40 years and through it all Pat fought hard on the front lines battling sexism in an industry that had not yet seen a woman climb to such rock ’n’ roll heights. Tune in to her the details of her journey and make sure to read her 2010 memoir <strong><em>Between a Rock and a Heart Place</em></strong>. We thank Pat for all the bitchin’ tunes and for making it a little easier for us girls trying to pave our own path in this rock ’n’ roll world!</span></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10697"></div> <div id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10700"><span id="m_-5977426799435271173yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515553806616_10701">You can find us on Twitter @chantyandlynx and on Instagram &amp; Facebook @musesandstuffpodcast.
