Ep 19: Pat Andrzejewski Benetar Giraldo

On Episode 19 we talk about the great Pat Benatar (aka Pat Andrzejewski Giraldo), who not only was a groundbreaking female rock star but who also has one of the greatest rock and roll voices in history. We review her entire career with a particular focus on her early albums to decide whether she stands the test of time. Is her fiery brand of ‘80s album oriented rock invincible or is it all just broken promises in the dark?  We also talk about how much her guitarist, musical partner and husband Neil “Spyder” Giraldo may or may not have contributed to these works. Along the way, we find out…

• Why Dick Clark was one of the biggest douches in television history
• How a sexy poster of David Lee Roth somehow led Slip into the Benatar-verse
• How Jeff “met” Pat Benatar during the peak of her success
• Who Keith Olsen is and how important he nor may not have been to the Benatar legacy
• Why “Love is a Battlefield” is one of the greatest videos of all time
