Don’t forget WF Bach, CPE Bach, JCF Bach, JC Bach… The family is chock full of musicians who were well renowned in their own time, even if JS Bach has since overshadowed his children and grandchildren.
That case long confused me, since Jakob claimed he didn’t want to be given any handouts due to who his father was… but took his father’s stage name. Turns out Bob Dylan legally changed it from Zimmerman before Jakob was born. So not the same as, say Charlie Sheen, who used his father’s stage name, while brother Emilio Estevez used the legal name.
The thing that ultimately gets me is that the “industry plant” thing seems to be mainly attached to female pop artists. Nobody said a word about LMFAO being the son and grandson of Motown’s Berry Gordy, respectively. But Billie Eilish’s parents were involved in the entertainment industry, but were hardly record label owners/ exectutives. I can’t say I’ve seen anyone bat an eye at yet another Marley making a record (I think we’re up to 8 or 9 other than Bob at this point). When a jazz player like Ravi Coltrane, Matt Garrison, or the McFerrin kids pick up their father’s instruments, the reaction tends to be to give it a listen and see if it’s good. (by the way, Ravi, Matt, Taylor and Madison are all very good)
It’s really just a reason use to discredit acts folks don’t like. And therefore BS
