Dave Grohl stays in touch with Violet via iChat
When his wife Jordyn Blum was pregnant with his daughter Violet, 17-months, rocker Dave Grohl, 38, was able to discern that his daughter would go on to be quite a music connoisseur. The couple played Mozart for Violet in utero, Dave recalled,
Then I said, ‘Let’s try some rock, [like] the Beatles.’ So we played ‘Taxman’ and she went berserk.
But when Dave introduced Violet to his own band the Foo Fighters?
There was absolutely no movement at all. I was like, ‘Wow, she has taste.’
Violet’s musical education has only continued since being born last April, with Dave delighting in teaching his daughter the finer points — and people — of hard rock. She was also indoctrinated at an early age to the life of ‘rock star daughter,’ with Dave and Jordyn doing their very best to broaden Violet’s horizons with lots of new faces and places, and staying in touch with iChat when Dave is away.
Violet was immediately surrounded by so many people that she’s not afraid. I think it’s important for kids to be social and to expose them to stuff as soon as possible.
One face Dave clearly hopes Violet doesn’t see anytime soon is that of Paris Hilton – whom Dave called ‘lame,‘ among other things!
She’s more offensive to me than anything…a total raging, disgusting, rich, lazy party sl-t. I pray that my daughter will not turn out like her.
He has concerns for his daughter, whom he and Jordyn recently learned is in the 90th percentile forheight — she’ll probably grow up to be 5’7".
So her mom’sbeautiful, her dad’s a big rock star — you see where I’m going here?
Violet is the first child for Dave and Jordyn.
