It doesn’t fit that tough punk image, but it’s only natural that Joel Madden would be feel inspired to write about fatherhood for Good Charlotte’s fifth album. After all, he’s dad to 17-month-old Harlow, and he’s got another one on the way with girlfriend Nicole Richie!
“Fatherhood has a profound affect on just who you are,” he told People magazine. “It definitely gives you a whole new world to write about.”
But fatherhood hasn’t just influenced the way Joel writes songs; it’s affected all aspects of his life.
“You really can’t plan anything, you don’t know anything,” he explained. “You just have to take it as it comes.”
It’s that attitude that’s helped Joel survive fatherhood without too much stress.
“I mean, we’re not the first people to have babies so you’re going to be alright no matter what,” he said. “You have to have your own experience and learn as you go. Kids are very resilient and you just have to take it a day at a time.”
Joel says baby-on-the-way will be a delivery surprise, which is just another example of Joel taking things as they come I suppose!
