Summary

Rock roll heirs and heiresses enjoy lives that are uniquely fabulous and troublesome all at once. Living through bizarre backstage - and onstage - experiences, unconventional childhoods, drugs, debts and mad babysitters, the subjects of this book may have grown up quickly, but their backgrounds shaped them in very different ways. And most shocking of all, many of them are quite normal.
