When I posted the above photo of Nick Drake next to his mother Molly ages ago... ...I failed to spot Nick's father Rodney (looking like Terry Thomas gazing into a shop window). BTW for the person that said Nick's mum must have been quite a catch in her youth... ...You are not wrong:-
A photograph of Sid Vicious and his mother Unlike the other rockers moms on this thread, Sid's mom, Anne Beverley was no standard sweet mommy. "...the Sex Pistols' Jah Wobble described Anne as having "no interest in (Sid's) life. She didn't even know he was attending Kingsway. She was into the hardcore drug thing — heroin and opiates — which was all-embracing, that was her life." That lifestyle seemed to follow Beverley, and stories about her enabling Sid's self destruction are legion. History Collection recounts the time when she gave her teenage son heroin as a birthday present, and the way that she would use him as a mule to smuggle drugs when he was a toddler. It seems altogether possible, given her proximity to the young musician at the time of his passing, that she provided the actual substance that ended his life."
