I'm a bit of an aging punk,
so I still listen to some of the old classics.
When my son was about 2/3 years old, he was a bit worried about a HUGE spider in the room.
So I did what any doting father would do and removed it to the garden. When I got back he was singing "No more spiders anymore, whatever happened to the spiders" to The Stranglers slightly better known version.
*swells with pride

He was also a big Clash fan when he was 4.

Gob on yer mate
One of my proudest moments was when my daughter came home from school one day (she must have been about 15) and was chuffed to bits that her cred had been boosted cos her old man had been a Punk, when her best mate's dad had been into Yes (hah!).

When she played me Razorlight's 'Get it and go' from 'Up all night' and explained to me that it was about drugs, I played her 'Hateful' from 'London's Calling' and she had to admit that it kicked 'Get it and go' into the long grass.

Now, I get most of my new music from her - well worth investing the time in the early years.

Have a fucking click.

I had one of these....
Laying in bed on Sunday morning. Waking gently to the strains of "Holiday in Cambodia" By the Dead Kennedys, coming from my 12 year old son's bedroom. He'd found it all by himself...

So very proud....

Eldest had been subjected to
Prodigy fat of the land when she was but a fetus, as thats what Lady Barking was listening to in the car on her drives to work before she got too big to fit behind the steering wheel.

Now they say kids relate to what they hear in utero, and that you should play whalesong and all that shite, or classical music. PAH!
When she was in the womb we tried putting walkman headphones on the bump and playing that sort of shit. Cue her kicking the crap out of her mother.

And the first nights after her being born, what was best at getting her to sleep?
