This touching story will warm the hearts of even the coldest people. The rock legend Linda Perry, whose voice could break glass (in the greatest kind of way), has opened out about the amazing influence her nine-year-old son Rhodes has had on her life.
Rhodes: The Tiny Powerhouse
Before “Linda Perry: Let It Die Here,” her documentary, aired, Linda took a moment to talk about Rhodes. She was virtually smiling as she talked about how Rhodes is more than just a gorgeous face—he’s an important part of her everyday routine.
In an open admission, Linda says that her amazing child might have easily been the subject of her documentary, which included celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Dolly Parton. “Rhodes is a regular at the studio,” she says, referring to the fact that her little sister regularly works with her.
Rocker to Mother
There’s more to raising a budding rock star in the studio than just harmonizing. It’s a lesson about love, life, and occasionally catchy guitar chords. The importance of Rhodes being aware of her ancestry and origins is emphasized by Linda. Linda feels like she’s won the Parent of the Year award because of their amazing life chats.
Let’s go back a little, though; Linda was first hesitant to become a mother. Linda’s reaction to the concept when her ex-wife Sara Gilbert initially proposed it was a colorful and strong “No f—ing way, dude.”
Linda had good reason to be concerned. The spectre of her own difficult mother-daughter relationship hung heavy. “I told her it wasn’t even worth the risk if 1% of my mom was in me,” she revealed, revealing her prior misgivings. Spoiler alert: Gilbert was able to persuade her otherwise.
The Revolutionary
In the present day, Linda feels incredibly appreciative of her decision to become a mother. “I’m a fantastic mother, and I genuinely feel that Rhodes has saved my life.” “This child is a blessing beyond measure and is still stronger than I will ever be,” Linda exclaims. If it doesn’t make you feel something, maybe a solo on the guitar will.
Not only has motherhood inspired her to become a better person, but it has also strengthened their relationship to the point where it might outlast a power ballad. Now that Rhodes has become Linda’s center of attention, he provides her with happiness, insight, and a daily dose of joyful turmoil.
What to Expect from the Documentary
Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster if you’re still here for the documentary scoop, which, incidentally, stars superstars like Christina Aguilera and Brandi Carlile. It’s more than simply a career summary—it’s a tale of inspiration, metamorphosis, and the little person who makes it all worthwhile. When you tune in, make sure your tissues are ready.
There you have it, then! The rock icon Linda Perry, whose heart is as large as her voice, opens our eyes to the lovely complexity of being a rock and roll mother. Spoiler alert: There’s a tiny hero named Rhodes, lots of love, and a sprinkle of mayhem.
