From rock, to country, to pop, we learn so much about our favorite musicians and the women that raised them. &nbsp;A plus is that we get to see their adorable baby pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new series is based on the book by the same name written by Virginia Hanlon Grohl, mother of David Grohl, drummer of Nirvana and guitarist for the Foo Fighters. The two discuss what it was like raising and being raised as a rock star. They also team up with Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, Pharell Williams, Miranda Lambert and their mothers to talk about the childhoods of these incredible artists. The show answers a loaded question, \u201cWhat was it like to raise a musician?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3aTRHb1LzDo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This show is so creative. Virginia\u2019s and David travel around the United States to learn more about their musical friends. It\u2019s so interesting seeing rare videos and pictures of the stars, along with first-hand stories about their formative years. <em>From Cradle To Stage<\/em> shows how the love of music runs in the veins of these artists from an early age. You see how Virginia\u2019s love of music spread to David, who grew up surrounded by music. It\u2019s very insightful to watch how a mother\u2019s love and support encouraged her child to pursue a mutual love for music. Although worrisome, these mothers always encouraged their children to pursue doing what they love. It\u2019s heartwarming to gaze upon the mothers\u2019 collection of framed platinum records and <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/fromcradle.horizontal.jpg?resize=225%2C116&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7152\" width=\"225\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/fromcradle.horizontal.jpg?resize=300%2C154&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/fromcradle.horizontal.jpg?w=313&amp;ssl=1 313w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral of the series is to always have your child\u2019s back. In the music industry, where some become famous Grammy winners and others are not as lucky, these mothers always supported their children. Whether or not the parents supported the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll lifestyle and fame their child pursued, they always put their child\u2019s happiness first. Always asking, \u201cHow can we help?\u201d There are some warnings for this series in regards to adult language and mentions of alcohol and drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>From Cradle To Stage<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages older teens, plus adults. It is available on Paramount+ May 6, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by Dave Grohl and inspired by his mother, Virginia Hanlon Grohl, and her critically-acclaimed book, From Cradle to Stage: Stories from the Mothers Who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars, the Live Nation Productions FROM CRADLE TO STAGE is a dynamic personal exploration of the special relationship between successful musicians and their moms.
