Welcome to Litsy!

This book, written and narrated by Dave Grohl‘s mother, is an interesting take on mothers of musicians and their famous children. Grohl points out that one thing all of the mothers she interviewed said about their kids was how energetic they were as children. Because she was an educator, Grohl also touches on how our schools fail creative children. She and her son also have a fun discussion after the acknowledgments in the audiobook. #audiowalk

Enjoy!

This was a enjoyable read about the mother of famous rock stars who reflect on the lives and journeys of their rockstar offspring.

Dang I just love the Foo Fighters…the traffic after not so much.💕🎸🤘🏻

This was such a great one and I would have never found it if not for #booked2021. I was on the search for #musicalinstrumentonthecover and stumbled across this gem. I‘m seeing the Foo Fighters in concert in a few weeks, so this was perfect. She not only tells her stories but also interviews other rockstar moms. A very interesting perspective!

I absolutely love Dave Grohl and I am enjoying the stories from other music moms. Currently on the chapter about Dr. Dre

Two Kindle #dailydeal alerts for US Littens doing #booked2019! The top book works for #featuresamusician! The bottom book could be possible for #femaledetective, although it‘s a bit of a stretch according to reviews and the blurb. It‘s up to you!

A really lovely read for any music fan.

I wish I was home reading this...but TGIF!

A bit of reading while at the laundromat. #sundaymorning #butfirstcoffee #uncomfortablechair #notmadeforreading #orangeeverything

I found this book very thought provoking to read. I loved the stories of the rock stars from their mother point of view. I've loved Dave Grohl for years and this just reinforces what a great person he seems to be. I liked all her stories about him growing up and the interviews with Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobains' mothers to be fascinating.

Super excited these came in at the library! I love books about musicians. #libraryhaul

A friend lent this to me after getting it from the library - she knows about my music obsession (and Dave Grohl may feature in there somewhere!). This is written by his mum, and not having read the front cover properly, I thought it would be all about Dave. It wasn't, but it was still really interesting to see what all these mums did to help their children succeed in music. There's a real mix of musicians too.

My celebrity ❤️ I'm going to see this guy on November 7!! #sizzlinsummerbooks #celebritylove #foofighters

Here is what I texted my husband (who is a huge metal fan):
Listening to a book written by Dave Grohl's mother, Virginia. It's about rock star moms. At a part where Tom Morello's mom made him take her to see Body Count and wanted to be in front row because she made friends with Ice-T. I'm dying..

Review from Goodreads and I'm too lazy to retype.

So excited! Yesterday I polished off Alice in Chains; The Untold Story. Today I continue on my rock and roll journey. Dave Grohl's mom talks to other rock and roll moms!

I am so looking forward to this one. Dave Grohl, oh my! 😍😍 He always speaks so highly of his mom and she is a teacher so I have a feeling this will be a great book! http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dave-grohls-mom-pens-book-about-raising-r...
