(Note: I am deliberately excluding answers which include children of other rockers/musicians. No Teddy Thompson/Rufus Wainwright-style answers, if you please.)

Crispian Mills's mother is child actress Hayley Mills, while Lenny Kravitz is a chip off of actress Roxie Roker.

Michael Nesmith's mom Bette invented Liquid Paper/White-Out.

David Barbe's mom Jane was "The Time Lady" and the voice of radio station WWVH.

Any other rocker kids of historically or culturally interesting parentage?

Point to preexisting thread if already discussed.

Beck. Grandfather was Al Hansen, not only a 60's Fluxus artist but a 70's LA punk figure who managed The Controllers iirc. There's also some Warhol Factory connection to his mom or grandma, I forget which.

Neneh Cherry and Eagle Eye Cherry are both the offspring of jazz musician Don Cherry.

Geir's terminal inability to read the first post of a thread aside: I don't know about Eagle-Eye, but Neneh and Don Cherry's filial relationship is non-biological.
