good for you. I had the ‘your not allowed to go to gigs until you are at least 16’ from my folks – possibly because aged 11 I was into Iron Maiden and Slayer (shudder, and prays for forgiveness) – still didnt stop me sneaking off to see the stranglers in my later teens for my 1st proper gig – lots of middle aged men in jeans and black leather jackets – quite worrying really.
I hope I am the kind of parent that will take their kid to gigs and festivals – doc jr (17 months old) is already showing a liking for madness, duran duran and orbital – unortunately that is matched by enthusiasm for 50 cent and anything with booty in it (gyrating scantly clad girls seems to attract him to the tv like a fly to…)
