Summary:
"Written by Virginia Grohl, the mother of Dave Grohl
--
former Nirvana drummer and current frontman for the Foo Fighters
--
From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring
mothers
of
rock
icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the Music-style relationships. While the Grohl family had always been musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to Motown and David Bowie-Virginia never expected her son to become a musician, let alone a
rock
star. But when she saw him perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time, she knew that
rock
stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia watched her son's star rise, she often wondered about the other
mothers
who raised sons and daughters who became
rock
stars. Were they as surprised as she was about their children's fame? Did they worry about their children's livelihood and wellbeing in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour? Virginia decided to seek out other
rock
star
mothers
to ask these questions, and so began a two-year odyssey in which she interviewed such women as Verna Griffin, Dr. Dre's mother; Marianne Stipe, Michael Stipe of REM's mother; Janis Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's mother; Patsy Noah, Adam Levine's mother; Donna Haim, mother of the Haim sisters; Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother. With exclusive family photographs and a foreword by Dave Grohl, From Cradle to Stage will appeal to
mothers
and
rock
fans everywhere."--Publisher.
