I'm going to list several names of Rock Stars that

[ArnoldLayne]

would be cool to say is your Father, Grandfather or any other relative of yours in order and why? Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Keith Emerson, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Page or Joe Strummer.

[ArnoldLayne]

1. What?? No replies.

[mackerel]

2. RIP Joe Strummer

[Skittles]

3. I was just looking at this picture yesterday

Brian Johnson and Angus Young (AC/DC), with Malcolm Young's daughter Cara......that would be cool, Angus Young as your uncle


I also think Tom Petty and Neil Young would make great uncles / grandpas

[ArnoldLayne]

5. I forgot about Tom Petty.

[blue neen]

4. Carole King. Ann and Nancy Wilson. Linda Ronstadt.

They're not quite old enough to be my mom, maybe aunts or older sisters.

Why? The levels of talent, of course...and the fact that they made it in such a male-dominated profession.

6. Joe Strummer was like a funny & wise uncle to me.

He expressed a literate sense of humor & passion for social justice & ecology. He had an insatiable appetite for books, politics, movies. He informed me in terms of decision making, follow your own path. I get this from his music & interviews. I'm glad it's all still around. His spirit still touches me.

7. No thanks to Eric Clapton. My dad is not a racist and I would not want a racist for a dad.

Nothing cool about that.

[Tom Ripley]

8. It would be cool to be Bowie's second child, but not so cool to be...

Duncan Jones AKA Zowie.

[Tom Ripley]

9. Jimmy Page would be cool. Why?

Handmedown dragonpants, of course!

11. IIRC his daughter Scarlet is a successful and big-time

photographer in the UK.

On further review, I remembered correctly! http://www.scarletpage.com/biography

10. Natalie Maines, Dixie Chicks. I would have liked to be her daughter.

12. Jimmy Page comes off as a huge prick during interviews.

He is a hell of a talent, though.

[ArnoldLayne]

13. Personally I'd like to have Peter Gabriel as a father or

close relative and next choice would be Roger Waters and Keith Emerson. But how cool would it be to say that David Bowie is your Father, Grandfather, or a member of your immediate family.

[Tom Ripley]

14. I grew up with sisters who were cousins of Bowie...

However, they really downplayed the connection. This was during his glam years. And they were in the Deep South.
Both had the distinctive Jones mouth and teeth, though.

15. I want Udo Dirkschneider as my weird uncle

You just KNOW this guy has to be a total riot.

[ArnoldLayne]

16. I'm surprised no one chose Peter Gabriel how cool is

he and a genius too.
