Rock Siblings.....


I thought Julian Lennon had potential but that didn't happen. Forget Sean. Jakob Dylan is good but certainly not Dylan good. Zak Starkey has surpassed his Dad in every way. I think Damian Tuff Gong Marley does Bob Marley justice. Theres a bunch more out there, the more obscure the better. Any observations?

Ray & Dave Davies. Ray is the leader, but the songs Dave wrote & his solo albums hold up well. The DD kollection "Kinked" is well worth checking out. Many more through time: Everly brothers, McGarrigles, Carters, Enos, etc., and the Whites-- if you buy into the concept of an adopted ex-wife.
Just finished watching the worthwhile Entwistle documentary "An Ox Tale." Though I had followed that band closely, I never realized that Entwistle & Moon treated each other pretty much as siblings-- in friendship, clubbing, shared bad habits, and of course bonded as R&R's best ever rhythm section. I'd cut Zak some slack on this one.
For a close look at Zak, see the VH1 Who Tribute in current broadcast. Zak does a tremendous job and gets closer to Moon than anybody who has since sat in that seat. BTW some amazing performances in that special, particularly Pearl Jam (The Real Me & Love Reign O'er Me) & the closing acoustic Tea & Theater duet by Townshend & Daltrey. Recent touring has strengthened Daltry & he really belts them out.
