BETWEEN A HEART AND A ROCK PLACE

It's an official news, the publication of the Pat Benatar autobiography is taking shape.

The book titled "Between a heart and a rock place" will be on sale from June 15, 2010 and its issue will coincide with the summer tour of the singer.

Here is the presentation of the book appeared on the site www.harpercollinscatalog.com :

One of the greatest female rock stars of all time talks about her life, rock 'n' roll, and how her generation changed music forever.

For 30 years, Pat Benatar has been one of the most influential women in popular music. Now, this rock legend tells her story as she saw it, recalling her rise to fame, life in the MTV generation, her tours, the fans, and how she managed to avoid the trappings of rock stardom.

Part of the first generation of female rock stars to put the women's movement into practice, Benatar's career has embodied the defiant attitude and rebellious edge that has long been associated with her music. As the first woman ever to be featured on MTV, Benetar's story is an incredible inside look at the integral role that the nascent cable network played in shaping the face of music in the 1980s, helping to propel rock anthems like Heartbreaker and  Love Is a Battlefield  to the top of the charts.

Winner of an unprecedented four consecutive Grammys for best female rock performance, Benatar details a unique time in music history, demonstrating how the advent of music videos turned musicians into platinum selling stars overnight, but also set the stakes for being a female sex symbol in the male-dominated world of the music business.

From sold out arena tours to her incessant battles with her record label to her love for her husband that kept her grounded, this book offers an open and fascinating look at one of rock music's most storied performers.
