I can't say if listening to Mr. Blackmore and friends will make you turn out differently than your dad, but I can assure you that if both of you are Purple fans then you are at least thinking correctly !
My son, who is now 23, came to me several years ago all hyped up about a band he "discovered". I just had to go to the media room to listen to this killer music. The recording was "Paranoia" by Black Sabbath! He found it hard to believe that I was watching Sabbath in concert in 1974 and that I was there when an unknown Van Halen opened the show for Ozzy, Tony and friends.
Of course when I was 17 I "discovered" Miles Davis!
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
