One thing I hear a lot is, 'Dude, my mom loves your record,' or 'I got it for my dad for Christmas.' I'm essentially doing dad rock. Which is great, because I love Steely Dan, you know? Nothing wrong with dad rock!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I try to be a better dad and husband than I do pretend rock star.
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
My dad is a huge rock n' roll lead guitar fan.
I've gotta be the only father begging his son to leave a six-figure job to go play in a rock n' roll band!
I listen to Steely Dan. I really like Steely Dan.
I was madly in love with Elvis Presley. Dad wasn't into it at all, at least not for himself as a performer. He used to say, 'Mr. Cole does not rock n' roll.'
I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'
What people don't understand is that my dad isn't up on the contemporary music scene. He's been a legend for decades and he doesn't know what's going on right now, and he doesn't need to.
Some musicians I know are incredible fathers. Like Keith Richards. A fantastic dad.
My father did not rock. He just earned and hated. Don't end up like this man.
