How come Mike's kids aren't featured here?



The children of rock stars are featured in this month's Rolling Stone. I just can't imagine what life is like for them. I'm not sure if I'm jealous of them or feel sorry for them. Probably a combination of the two.
When Nona Gaye first met Sean Lennon, she says, "I felt like I was talking to myself." Nona was nine years old when her father, Marvin Gaye, was shot and killed by his own father; Sean was five when his father, John Lennon, was shot and killed by a deranged fan. "My father was just such a beautiful force in so many people's lives, and Sean's father did such similar things," says Nona, a thirty-year-old actress who has appeared in Ali and the Matrix sequels. "And now we both have this feeling of, 'I have to carry on this legacy in my own way.' And who else knows how I feel? I just had to give him a great big hug and go, 'Oh! Somebody knows!' "

Why, yes, yes we did.

And what exactly does that have to do with this article? I'm officially confused now.

OK, now I get it. Nona Gaye was in the movies Ali and The Matrix, which is close to the name of the band we played with at Zig's in Alexandria (they were Allie & The Matrix).

Glad somebody's paying attention.
