[quote=SNOWBIRD ,16944]Joe Cocker comes from a working class district of Sheffield, and still often visits his parents' gray stone house when he returns to England. On-stage, the 27-year-old blues singer is hyper exuberant. Off it, he is cool and withdrawn & a temperamental mixture of Harold Cocker, his civil servant father who preferred gardening to posing with his favorite son, and outgoing chatty mother. Mrs. Majorie Cocker works afternoons as a waitress in a local cafe, so that she can get out and mix with people.""When Joe left school at 16, I thought he was going to take up gas fitting as a career," she recalls. "I even got him a lot of books on the subject, and he was interested in gas for a time, but there was always the music. That was what he wanted to do. He told me he didn't' want a job where he worked for years and years and then got presented a gold watch at the end. I don't disapprove of Joe's lifestyle. I used to worry a lot about drugs. I've never had them, but I've always said I enjoy a drink and I think it is just the same as having a drink.""When my parents realized I was mad keen about music," Joe says, "they handed it all over to me. My mother must get a lot of rubbish slung at her, being the mother of me, because she told me of one instance, it was on a bus. But she just answers them back-that's what she does."[/quote]
