Happy Father's Day!

I know I'm a little late posting this because it's well past midnight by now. Oh well. I got a great idea for a post though. Since the radio station we have here, 104.3 the oldies station did a father's day song countdown, I got inspiration from that. I have posted a playlist with songs about fathers, etc. but I also did something cool as well.
I have decided to do the good ole' method of using a famous father and talking about their kid who followed in their footsteps musically. It definately reminds me of MTV's show, "Rock the craddle," which was so bad it was good. So without further adieu, my little playlist.
Playlist of Father's day songs:
1)Father and son-Cat Stevens. Recently just got into Cat. He's such a hippie.
2)Beautiful boy-John Lennon wrote this for his son Sean.
3)Goodnight-A Beatles song off the white album written by John as a lullaby type song for Julian but Ringo sings this.
4)Hey Jude-Paul wrote this for Julian Lennon and cared for that child as his own. I think it was very sweet of him and Julian's parents were going through a tough divorce and Paul wanted to kinda reach out and say that it was okay.
5)Cats in the cradle-It's a song by Harry Chapin and was written by Chapin's wife as a poem at the time. He came up with the melody and the rest is history. Although this song is indeed sad, it's message is to always be there for your kids because life is too short and when you have time, they won't.
6)Father and Daughter-Paul Simon. Very cute song!
7)Dance with my father-By the late Luther Vandross. Very touching song.
8)Papa can you hear me?-I know it's cheesy but Babs sings this one so well. It's from the moive "Yentyl." Go rent it!
9)In my life-The Beatles yet again. This one could pertain to anyone that you want it to. I love songs like that!
10)Song for my father-Horace Silver-Jazz classic from 1964. It also inspired the bass line for Steely Dan's "Rikki don't lose that number."

Onto part two:
1)Crosby Loggins:Won 'rock the cradle' and is the son of kenny loggins who was a soundtrack king w/ his partner messina. I just watched part of "Caddyshack" today and one of their songs was in it. Anyways, Crosby does a good job of this cover of "Long road to ruin" by the Foo fighters.

2)Sean Lennon:As the son of John and Yoko (how weird it must be), Sean had to prove that he was a talent. He made an album around 1998 called "Into the sun" but his album last year "Friendly fire" was excellent. He has a similar voice like John's and he mixes rock and orchestral stuff very well. It's like Pink Floyd mixed in with the Beatles to me and it's all unique. Here he's doing "Deadmeat," a haunting song off the album that is my favorite!

I also loved this aucoustic version and also the song "On again and off again" is included.

3)Dhani Harrison:Son of George Harrison and what I like to call the 'mini-George' for he looks SO much like his dad. Dhani played at the tribute concert for his dad 'The concert for George' and also helped finish up George's last album w/ Jeff Lyne 'Brainwahsed.' Dhani is in a band called 'Thenewno2.' They are an electronic based band but I really dig their sound.

4)Julian Lennon:Yes the OTHER Lennon. Jules got big around the 80's and he has a couple of good albums, "Valotte" and "Photograph smile."

5)Jakob Dylan:Bob's son. He was part of the 'Wallflowers' and has a new album coming out soon! I really loved this live cut from the house of blues in 05!You should also check out Jakob and Dhani's version of John Lennon's "Gimme some truth." It's like the Harrison-Dylan sessions all over again!

6)Dweezil Zappa-Frank Zappa fans know him from 'Zappa plays Zappa.' I have yet to go but I want to. I loved Frank and all his weirdness! My brother once told me that Frank really loved music and made over 30 albums. Craziness. Moon unit sings on this one! SO EIGHTIES!

7)Last but not least who can forget Ringo's son Zak Starkey! Zak has played w/ his dad at his All-Starr shows, for the Who, and is currently in Oasis.

That's the list I came up with!
ENJOY! It seems like we are in GREAT shape for the 2nd generation. The only one who didn't make the list was Jame's McCartney, Paul McCartney's son. Supposedly he's working on his 1st album with his dad. We'll see how it is when it comes out.
