I was just looking up some things about #1 yesterday after I remembered your telling me how good he is. There are several others that I know that I know, but I can't come up with their names.

!!! HINTS !!!

I've decided to let this game go another day, but here are some hints for you (no, Earl, they weren't all fathered by Mick Jager - LOL!):

#1: Not enough time for this young man to spend with his father. He didn't keep his grief bottled up though, he started writing his own music, which is just as good.

#2: You'll see no family resemblance here, because this girl was adopted. She also has an adopted brother. Her dad then fathered a child, then flew off into the sunset.

#3: This guys must have had a mellow family life with two beautiful sisters, living everywhere from a castle to a desert.

#4: This young woman was given up for adoption before her mother got famous. The clouds were dispersed for them when they met for the first time only very recently.

#5 & #6: New York City must be a great place to grow up when your famous dads live above Central Park.

#7: This young woman's parents built a city then went their separate ways.

#8: The only rust in this guy's childhood must have been the aluminum roof on his famous mother's northern California house. Dad couldn't be there to fix it due to the state's system's rusty legal system.

#9: Not content to live in his father's shadow, this guy broke out onto his own, just to become a wall flower.

#10 & #11: For these kids, growing up with a famous dad didn't come easy.

#12: On the road with Dad so much must mean that these kids eat in a lot of restaurants.


Have fun!

They all look familiar, except #2, who doesn't at all. I'm not sure if it's that I've seen the kids before (some I'm sure I have) or that they look like their famous parents. I do know who #10 and #11 are -- should have just looked at #11 a little more closely the first time to figure out who their dad is. The hints will probably mean something once we know who the rest of them are. :-)

Go ahead and
guess "out loud" if you want to.

P.S. Please excuse all of the typos in those hints. My brain is on permanent hold.

#1 is A. J. Croce, son of Jim Croce.

#10 is Lee Starkey, and #11 is Zak Starkey, children of Ringo Starr.

No idea about any of the others.
