EIGHTIES ROCKER BABES
Can you believe it? Pat Benatar, like Cyndi Lauper, is still touring. Although she has not been big since the eighties, she is still out there at the age of 52, still doing her thing, and not looking too much worse for the wear. Married to the same guy for 23 years with two kids to boot. Linda Ronstadt should take notes.

Posted by: red at May 19, 2005 07:11 AMPat was alright, but I could never shake the feeling that the "bad girl" act of hers was fake. Which ultimately made me feel kind of sad for her.

She could have all the fun without trashing her life or other people's, then do some rehab, then write a book about it as if it were a unique thing. Since rock is full of illusion, I thought she pulled off the tongue-in-cheek drama pretty well. And she can send a note across the Atlantic to boot.
