The Mamas and the Papas

My friend's son's playing in a band at a local club. No idea what their sound is. Bunch of 20 year-olds home for the summer. My friend needs some guidance. If your kid plays at a club do you go and watch? If so, up to what age? Is there a Rock parent etiquette guide out there? Did Mr Davies ever go to see his boys in the Kinks? I know Mr Wilson managed the Beach Boys. But he was overbearing. My friend's not looking to manage the band. Mrs Partridge drove the bus, but those kids were a little younger. But what the H? Keith shoulda been driving that bus. Mrs Partridge coulda managed the band. They didn’t need that Mr Kincaid.  Yet Mrs Partridge drove the bus and Danny still became a drug addict. You can’t say she didn’t give it her best.

What if Mrs Partridge woulda driven that bus in Speed instead of that Sandra Bullock? Speed, the musical. Take it to Broadway. Maybe work Ralph Cramden and Norton into one of the songs.
