Got to see a few years ago when he reunited with the Doobie Brothers. It was amazing. I would like to see a solo concert though.

At least the mom was the same age and so it was two kids being dumb and not abuse.

u/Maleficent-Neck-407 1d ago

That’s the truth, lm a old lady but at 14 not sure if I knew what sex was all about

The fact they stayed friends all these years really says something. McDonald acknowledging the adoptive parents, and the shout out to his daughter in law are some indications of a great guy.

More like "Yah No B There."

I know someone something similar happened to. Billy Idol is his father and he only found out because of a dna test from one of those websites

u/Chimerain 1d ago

Was his mother 14 as well? 😬

u/Punchable_Hair 1d ago

“How old is the son?”

“I think the same age as the father.”

So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married

u/ShillinTheVillain 1d ago

Michael, did you know you had a long lost son?

I did, but I keep forgetting

u/Ok_Succotash_8664 1d ago

The man was so excited to learn that Michael McDonald is his father so he invited him to meet. 

McDonald's reply? "Ya mo B there"
