Tim McIlrath, vocalist of Rise Against, performs at Rock in Rio this Friday, September 4th. Known for his career in punk rock, the musician revealed he has a daughter named Scarlet who chose to participate in beauty pageants, something completely different from her father's musical universe. The situation generated good-humored comments on social media.
The singer joked about the so-called "irony of fate" when commenting on his beauty queen daughter. A friend of his made a joke saying that a punk singer who has a daughter in a beauty pageant is proof that the universe has a sense of humor, and Tim agreed with the playful remark.
Tim said that at least part of the responsibility for his daughter's choice can be attributed to a box of costumes and second-hand dresses that his daughters found in the bedroom of Bill Stevenson's daughters 15 years ago. He compared the distance between his seven-inch Black Flag records and a beauty pageant crown, saying he never imagined such a life path.
Tim himself described the situation as a "venting and surprise," demonstrating how the punk singer's family life took turns he never expected when he began his musical career.
