1970’s Rock Stars Pose with Parents

Frank Zappa. Grace Slick. David Crosby. Eric Clapton. These are the names of some of the biggest rock stars of the 1970s. They were also some of the biggest anti-establishment, 'fight the power'-types of the day too. Nothing Zappa did was conforming, Grace wanted to spike the drinks at a White House party with LSD when she visited, and Crosby was a crack smoking, gun-toting hippie. However, they still had moms and dads to impress. The U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail put together a great photo collection of some of the decade's biggest pop/rock musicians with their parents, in their parent's homes. You get a glimpse of where Zappa picked up his eclectic style, the father Crosby rebelled against, the Jackson 5 at home, and Clapton with his grandmother in the house he bought her.

Somehow this picture of me with my parents in 1972 didn't make the cut.
