In this non-fiction interview style book, Virginia Grohl, mom of famous musician Dave Grohl, travels across the country to interview other mothers of musicians. Virginia has selected a wide range of artists' parents including Miranda Lambert's mom and mother of the sisters-only group Haim. The classics aren't forgotten either, as Virginia recalls her time with Warren Hayes, Geddy Lee, and Tom Morello's mamas. Many topics are covered throughout the interviews including their kids' love of music and when it started to blossom, the concerns they had as worried mawmas, and when they knew their kids had made it.

This was a super fun read! I listened to this, and I really enjoyed the different perspectives that all the mothers gave. Each mom and their child came from such varied backgrounds that listening to their rise to the top was really interesting. My personal favorites were: Geddy Lee (his mom was a holocaust survivor and overall STRONG woman), Haim (I love them s'much and listening to their mom talk about their successes was just so sweet.), Janis Winehouse (RIP AMY), and Harriette Brown (This one surprised me the most as IDGAF abt Zac Brown or his band but, I had no idea of all the charitable contributions he's made to his community & continues to make through acts of service. Amazing). If you're into music then there's definitely something in this book for everyone to enjoy. I could have done without the Adam Levine interview (I know, I know. There's nothing "wrong with him" but Maroon 5 is just.....not good to me LOL) but, I understand that it had to have some ~*variety*~. I wish that the questions dug a bit deeper than they did and the book contained a few less interviews to accommodate that but, I'd still recommend this nonetheless. I did listen to this but, I looked at the hard copy at the bookstore and it includes pictures so if you're more into that I feel it'd be just as cool.
