Mom's Gift

-
I picked up the boy from daycare this afternoon and he proudly showed me his lilacs. 

When I tried to smell them, he pulled away and scolded, "No, Dad!  These are for Mom."  

He would not let me near them.  He protected them like a pitbull on cocaine.

Funny, because I knew this memoir would be full of crazy stories of 40+ years of excess on the road with the original "bad boys" of rock and roll, and that was my main reason for buyin...
