father kids son
Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives. But, within the music industry and within the industry of the critiques of music, where it becomes "Ziggy's music is not as good as Bob's music," I don't understand. But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.
children father love-you
People are loving me because they don't even know me. "You're Bob's son. We love you." So I think that's a good thing for a father to leave so much that people are loving their children. I'm proud of that.
father trying feels
I am not trying to be better than my father. I am not trying to be like him. I am just trying to be myself and express myself how I feel.
father messages music-is
I learned from my father that music is from God and the message is from God.
spiritual father artist
As an artist, I feel that my father's biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it's not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.

I can feel my father's spirit within me. I can feel similarities within us from the artistic perspective from being a musician. We have a lot of similarities.

The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
country father poor-neighborhoods
My father's music gives hope to people and also inspires them to break the bonds of injustice and to be positive in life. I've seen that everywhere I go, especially in poor countries and poor neighborhoods.
father responsibility son
The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.
teenage father years
I was 12 when my father passed, so I didn't have a father during my teenage years.

Proud about my father? What am I most proud of? I think I'm proud of the legacy he left I think is what it is. He has left us so much.

Each father wants their sons to be just like them, really.

It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff - a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.

It's natural that anyone is compared to their father.
