Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We ive and learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith.
~ "All Fired Up" Pat Benatar
I'm all fired up because I'm gonna see Pat Benatar - one of my rock idols - in concert in Wendover, NV, tonight! Yeah, I'd never heard of Wendover until I moved here, but I'm glad that Pat decided to stop by.
My older brother Kurt was obsessed with Pat in the early 80's, and he made it his mission to play the guitar like Neil Giraldo. Her MTV music videos showed a confident woman with a heart for rock and roll. In the 80's Beth, Kurt and I saw Pat in Detroit, and it was phenomenal. Such stellar performances!
And now as a member of a rock band Natural Causes, I pay homage to Pat by singing two of her songs, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and my favorite, "Heartbreaker."
It's no secret. Pat Benatar rocks, and tonight I get to see her LIVE. I am beyond STOKED. And I have this teeny tiny fantasy that I could get my picture taken with her. :)

I hope you all have SO MUCH FUN at the concert!

Pat Benatar looks more awesome today than she did when she was in her twenties, don't you think? She always could really belt one out.
