Dave Grohl Schools Daughter on Music and Gossip

Not every little girl gets to grow up surrounded by platinum plaques, songwriting awards, and photos of rock legends. Yet that is the world that surround Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and his 14-month-old daughter Violet.

''Look! There's Daddy, there's Ozzy...'' says Grohl as he plays show-and-tell with the toddler. When she points to a picture of a long-haired, mustached, and menacing-looking guy with an inquiring look on her face, dad Grohl responds, ''That's Tony Iommi. 'Can you say Tone-ee Aye-oh-mee?'' Grohl is clearly proud that his daughter is interested in the lead guitarist of Black Sabbath.

Violet has been immersed in music since before she was born. He and wife Jordyn have been playing music for the tot since she was inutero. ''We started with Mozart,'' explains Grohl. ''Then I said, 'Let's try some rock, [like] the Beatles.' So we played 'Taxman' and she went berserk.''

This summer Grohl has been busy touring with the band and keeping up with Violet via video thanks to iChat on his laptop with occassional visits. When visiting dad, she loves being surrounded by the bands entourage of band members, crew members, and managers.

''Violet was immediately surrounded by so many people," Grohl says, ''that she's not afraid. I think it's important for kids to be social and to expose them to stuff as soon as possible.''

Grohl and Jordyn recently learned that Violet is in the 90th percentile in height, so he thinks "she'll probably grow up to be 5'7''Her mom's beautiful, her dad's a big rock star."

How does he keep busy on the tour bus? Grohl admits he has a thing for gossip and the whole band has a mild obsession with Britney Spears.

''Have you seen Britney without the extensions?'' Grohl asks drummer Taylor Hawkins. ''She looks so good with short hair.'

"If she could just get her s--- together,'' responds Hawkins. ''You know you're in bad shape if Kevin Fenderline [sic] is looking like the good guy...''

''I'm gonna go ahead and say that Paris Hilton is f---in' lame,'' Grohl announces. ''She's more offensive to me than anything... a total raging, disgusting, rich, lazy party slut. I pray that my daughter will not turn out like her.''
