I'll beexposed for my slacker attitude."In 1974, when Bobby was only eight, he and his father were both nominated for aGrammy for the song "Daddy What If", which was written by Shel Silverstein. Bare'sdaughter Isabella did a version of the song, which was featured on Twistable TurnableMan, a tribute album to Shel Silverstein which was co-produced by Bare and hisfather.
