Judy Davids’ story is a rallying cry for every woman who fondly recalls when she spent more time in mosh pits than “Mommy and Me” classes. From the moment Judy Davids donned a pair of go-go boots and jumped onstage, she embarked on an unforgettable journey. Her book, Rock Star Mommy, chronicles Davids’ experiences as a music fan, a mother, and the leader of the Mydols—one of the first “mommy” rock bands in the country.

Surprisingly, the one thing in her life that she didn’t consider herself an expert made her famous. The Mydols – comprised of four Midwestern housewives/mothers — drew the attention of national media and Davids found herself in the pages of the supermarket tabloid The Sun while she was shopping for Lunchables for her kids.
