Rockstar Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, The Smashing Pumpkins) joins Erin and Elizabeth to talk about her professionally provocative father, Nick, a legendary journalist, leftist politician and “unofficial mayor” of Montreal for three decades, where he pinched butts and influenced culture until his death at age 54. Twenty-five years later, Melissa regales us with stories about her unconventional coming of age, which saw her joining Hole to tour the world at age 22, Nick's paternal bond with Courtney Love, the education her relationship with her hard-drinking bon vivant dad provided her with navigating "big personalities" later in life, and that time she had it bad for her father's gravedigger and then recorded a smoldering metal song about it with Glenn Danzig.
