I have a whole new respect for Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, and Frank Zappa who raised their kids to be respectful and normal, not partying ditzy’s, like Lionel Richie’s daughter Nicole. I thought he would have been a better father than the way she turned out.
If I was Lionel Richie, I think I would be emarassed out how his kid turned out.
I caught some of this.
Ted Nugent’s daughters were interesting. The one on the left had a “too scared to say anything” look on her face the whole time her sister was talking.
And I didn’t care for the way they tried to make you feel sorry for Chastity Bono.
I was surprised to find out that Liz Tyler (Steven Tyler’s daughter) was raised by Todd Rundgren. And Chastity? I thought the same thing as you, Xizor, the point was lost on me. Nugent got a chuckle out of me when he said “I’m a breeder”, as soon as he said that the look on his daughters faces was hysterical! Ted is cool.
The story I’ve heard about Liv was that her mother, Bebe Buell, was sort of a groupie and was living with Rndgren while having an affair with Tyler. While Rundgren and Buell knew that Liv was not Rundgren’s they gave Liv Rundgren’s last name and she was raised as his.
Until Tyler one day woke up out of his drunken, drug induced daze, looked at Liv and said “Holy Shit! Lookit her, she got my lips. Hey!”
OK, not those very same exact words-- but you get my drift. This actually happened at some well attended event. At least that was what I heard. And I’m in absolutely no position to know.
I think that it was Liv Tyler who noticed that she looked more like Steven Tyler than Todd Rundgren. She then decided to change her name from Liv Rundgren (which is what was on her birth certificate) to Liv Tyler. I always thought that that was rather disloyal of her. It was Rundgren who actually raised her, even though he knew that he wasn’t her biological father. Steven Tyler hadn’t done anything for her except supply some sperm.
Perhaps it was a business decision. Maybe she thought Liv Tyler made a better stage name than Liv Rundgren.
Bebe took Liv to an Aerosmith concert where she met Mia Tyler backstage. Liv noticed the resemblence between herself and Mia, so she put two and two together.
