David Bowie dislikes daughter's music
Categories: Kids 5-7, Just for dads, Celeb kids, Celeb parenting, That's entertainment
When I was growing up, music was a big deal in my house. My parents were music-lovers and the soundtrack of my childhood was heavy with Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers and, oddly, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band. I would spend hours in my room, playing my parent's records and gazing at album covers. I'm sure it made my parents happy to see me enjoying the same tunes they enjoyed, but it didn't last forever. Eventually, I discovered Donny Osmond, the DeFrancos and later, all manner of horrible disco music. It must have been awful for them.
David Bowie knows a thing or two about musical suffering. He and his wife Iman have a cute little 7-year-old daughter named Alexandria Zahra and her taste in music could not be further from her father's. Dad is famous for his innovative music and has enjoyed a long and successful career. But Alexandria prefers her music a little fluffier and is a fan of pop princess Hilary Duff.
According to Iman, Bowie would rather leave than listen to that. "Two weeks ago Alexandria was listening to Hilary Duff songs. David just leaves the room. He thinks she should be listening to underground music," she told The Sun.
Bowie should take heart in the knowledge that his daughter's musical tastes will likely change as she grows older. And since disco is dead, it really couldn't get worse, right?

Sigh. I adore David Bowie. I could hardly read this article with his beautiful face gazing out at me. Purr.

This is a case where a girl should especially listen to her daddy ;) Bowie rocks!
I have my parents to thank for my (superb, ha!) taste in music and recently had the opportunity to introduce one of my daughters to joy that is pre-Hagar Van Halen.
