Rhodes: The Little Dynamo
Before the premiere of her documentary ‘Linda Perry: Let It Die Here,’ Linda took a breather to chat about Rhodes. She was practically glowing, sharing that Rhodes is not just a pretty face but a key player in her daily groove.
In this candid confession, Linda reveals that her documentary film, featuring big names like Dolly Parton and Christina Aguilera, could easily have been dedicated to her wonderful kiddo. “Rhodes is a regular at the studio,” she says, describing how her mini-me joins her at work frequently.

From Rocker to Mom
Raising a mini-rocker in the studio isn’t just about harmonizing. It’s a lesson in life, love, and the occasional guitar riff. Linda emphasizes the significance of Rhodes knowing her roots and heritage. They have these stellar conversations about life that make Linda feel like she’s winning the Parent of the Year award.
But let’s rewind a bit; Linda initially hesitated to dive into motherhood. When her ex-wife Sara Gilbert first floated the idea, Linda’s response was a firm and colorful “No f—ing way, dude.”
Linda’s apprehensions weren’t without reason. The shadows of her own rocky maternal bond loomed large. “If 1% of my mom was in me, ‘It’s not even worth the risk,’ I told her,” fronting about her past reservations. But spoiler alert: Gilbert convinced her otherwise.
The Game Changer
Fast forward to today, and Linda is beyond grateful for taking the maternal plunge. “So I’m an awesome mom, and I am really, like, Rhodes has saved my life. This child is a blessing in so many ways and continues to be stronger than I’ll ever be,” gushes Linda. If that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, perhaps a guitar solo will.
Motherhood has not only motivated her to be a better person but has also cemented a bond so strong it could outlast a power ballad. Rhodes is now the center of Linda’s universe, bringing joy, perspective, and a daily dose of delightful chaos.
The Documentary: What to Expect
If you’re still here for the documentary scoop, which, by the way, features icons like Christina Aguilera and Brandi Carlile, get ready for an emotional roller coaster. It’s not just a career recap; it’s a story about transformation, inspiration, and the tiny human that makes it all worthwhile. Make sure you have your tissues ready when you tune in.
So, there you have it! Linda Perry, the rockstar with a heart as big as her voice, gives us a glimpse into the beautiful complexities of being a rock-and-roll mama. Spoiler: It involves a lot of love, a dash of chaos, and a pint-sized hero named Rhodes.
