Murray Wilson - father of the Beach Boys -- minus Dennis Wilson, (he was a cousin).... ruled his house of rock and roll with fatherly love. Or... something like that. Rumor had it that he tried to smash a sound mixer board over his kids heads during rehearsal.
Always the control freak the kids got back by disconnecting his own mixing board so he couldnt adjust the sound levels.... tsk tsk. The fighting grew so intense that eventually the family busted apart and became dysfunctional.... Brian Wilson supposedly took residence in a sand box in his room for a few years.
Peter Bagge captures the insanity brilliantly in his cartoon, ROck and Roll Dad. Bagge was the man who brought Hate Comics and Neat Stuff to us from Fantagraphic Books. I met Bagge during his slump in Chicago. I got a sneer from him and an autograph --- if memory serves, I think he refused to shake my hand. It doesn't matter if he is Public Creep No. 1, the man is hilarious. I am not sure if I would get along with any of my heros but i love them just the same, (RIP, Hunter S Thompson).
Joe Jackson, father of the Jackson Five, was equally notorious when it came to fatherhood. These men are intriguing. The ideology is complex. "I gave you life, now you must earn a living for me, by playing ROCK AND ROLL".
As a humanitarian, its hard for me to bark out those words to even the most minute of God's creations.
