Offspring: Not THE Offspring, others bands offspring










Frances Bean Cobain is making her singing debut with My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way. Frances Bean is the 17 year old daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love and considering the genetics she's had to work with is surprisingly cute although she is a minor and I feel creepy for even calling her cute. Anyway, it got me thinking about other famous rock star offspring and I wondered if ANYONE lived up to their parents footsteps. There was the Wallflowers featuring Bob Dylans son Jakob on vocals. They had a few hits and even once has Bruce Springsteen as their bus driver for shows around Central Jersey but they phased out pretty quickly. You had the Kelly Osbourne debacle where she covered Madonna's Papa Don't Preach with Incubus backing her up. That led to the butchering of one of my all time favorite Black Sabbath songs, Changes. There was also a late 90's band called Deadsy which was fronted by the son of Greg Allman and Cher. Talk about bad genetics? I wish Frances Bean. Her mom may be a fuck up but she was a damn good front woman and Kurt, well some would say he made history
