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. Read more

 


REVIEW


This book is a MUST READ for all mom’s (and Dad’s) whom, some without ever realizing it, encouraged, supported, inspired, their children to do embrace and focus on their natural talents and musical abilities. Who were teaching their kids music appreciation in THE CAR of all places. Who used music and taught there kids how to spell, count, and about historical moments that may have never got or their attention in a history class in school. For the parents who allowed their kids to be kids and to just BE and never pushed them to become WHAT or WHOM they wanted them to become. To the parent’s who yelled out of sheer frustration, “GET OUT OF MY HAIR AND GO SOMETHING TO DO.” I yelled that A LOT while I was raising my boys. But the last time I yelled that at them…it stuck and what came from that moment, astounds me until this day. It does not matter if your musician child is famous at all. My goal was never to make fame their goal. My goal was and still is to keep playin. Keep learning and to enjoy music. ALWAYS. I am so inspired by this book and the stories shared by all the mamma’s of musicians…I plan to sit down and write my story. It may never become a book or a movie. I will leave it for my boys to find and read someday. My guys are now 24 and 25 and they’re still playin. My husband and I did not know at the time that we created a rhythm section. A drummer and bassist and their damn good. Like scary good and they don’t realize how good they really are. They play because they love to play and that my friends is what it’s all about. Like I always tell them…I AM and always will be YOUR BIGGEST FAN. This is an awesome book. I love it!
