Growing up, I often felt like raindrops were literally falling on my head, as if I didn't quite fit anywhere. I was very much a loner. Sure, I had a few friends—lifers like Bill, and another dear friend Dallas—but my world was mostly my own. I didn't march to the standard drumbeat.
Monday afternoon, as I was walking by a local marquee, I saw that Pat Benatar was playing that evening. I thought, wow! I love Pat Benatar! I started mentally going through songs, and then it came to me — "Hit Me With Your Best Shot” — and that voice! Yes, that iconic Pat Benatar voice.
