I'm in the middle of reading "The Kids Are All Right," a multi-point-of-view memoir by Liz and Diana Welch -- with input from brother and sister Dan and Amanda -- about losing their handsome and successful businessman father and soap star mom in a short period of time when they were all still children, and the estrangement that followed when they were all placed in new living arrangements. (Review TK; learn more HERE.) The Welches say the thing they have heard most about the book is that their title was "stolen" by the makers of the Annette Bening-Julianne Moore film -- the book came out first -- but they are quick to point out that they had already stolen the title from the Who, from the wonderful track from their 1965 LP, "My Generation." (Duh!) I'm also a huge fan of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs's splendid version, which appeared on their "Under the Covers, Vol. 1" CD a few years ago. See what I mean here:
