“Nepo babies.” Pejorative term or celebration of creative lineage? We don’t care, as long as the outcome is good! And the outcome from our nepo baby musicians is, indeed, good. Whether your parents are indie folk legends or you’re part of Hollywood royalty…. it doesn’t really matter to us. Keep making the hits!
Christina picked this theme with a musician in mind: Rufus Wainwright. With indie folk legends Louden Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle as his parents, he was destined for stardom, and while he might not be a household name, he is indeed a beautiful talent with an incredible voice. He might even be an ALW lover, too!? Celebrities… they’re just like us!
Christine loves nepo baby Jason Schwartzman. And perhaps you love him for his breakout role in Rushmore (like Christina). Or for his role as the snooty, aloof Louis XVI in Marie Antoniette. Or perhaps you love his first band, Phantom Planet? Or if you’re like Christine you want to have a glass of white wine and enjoy his acting in Bored to Death. Trust us, we’re JS fans! But while there are SO many reasons to love him, Christine selected him for his song “Any Fun” from his solo project Coconut Records.
As always, we beg you to subscribe to our podcast on your platform of choice. And PLEASE follow us on Instagram. And would it kill you to tell a friend about our show? We don’t have rich OR famous parents. So… we kinda need the support. We’re kidding (mostly).
