Cover art for Son lyrics by Scott Weiland

Contrary to popular belief, this song is not about Scott Weiland's son Noah, who was born two years after this song was written. This song was written by Scott and one of the other guys who worked on 12 Bar Blues with him (I can't remember who) about "that guy"'s son. I'm pretty sure Scott also related the lyrics to the abortion he and his wife went through around 1993/94.
