My kid the punk rocker.

People say they see a lot of me in his performances (and I'm not sure I should take that as a compliment). But now he makes three European tours a year and one a year to Japan, and he's been mentioned at least once in Rolling Stone. And Toyota offered his band $250,000 for a song, but the band declined the offer because they didn't want to be known as "the band in the Toyota commercial." Nic Offer's his name, and his bands are "Out Hud" and "!!!" (pronounced "Chick Chick Chick"). One of their albums is Street Dad (named after me), and the sing on the album is "Dad, There's a Little Phrase Called 'Too Much Information'" (named after me). His onstage dancing has been compared to that of a wind-up chimpanzee. That's my boy.
