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.
