Rumors Regarding Rock-Star Parentage

Message Bookmarked

The other day I was getting my hair cut, and my barber (okay, hair stylist) tried to tell me that Captain Kangaroo was Glenn Danzig's dad--obviously an attempt to tarnish Danzig's tough-guy image. I've also heard from a similarly untrustworthy source that Richard Dawson fathered Adam Ant. And Etta James claims that Minnesota Fats is her father, which I tend to believe. Any others?

sounds like more 'Josh Saviano is Marilyn Manson' pranksterism to me

dylan where do you get your hair cut??

Well, I'm not going to reveal where I get it cut, since the ILM publicity might drive the rates up. I did, by the way, delicately tell my barber-okay-stylist that I thought she had been misinformed.

Wasn't Mr. Green Jeans Frank Zappa's father, or does that rumor also fall into Mikey/ Pop Rocks territory?
