[when asked how he feels about his son
Albert Hammond Jr.'s current success with the band
The Strokes] I'm extremely happy for him, for myself and for the rest
of my family for my son's success with The Strokes. I'm also very happy
for the rest of the guys because I feel like they're my sons, too, you
know, because I've spent a lot of time with them. I give them a lot of
advice, and I still feel that whenever they need that little something
extra, I'm there for them, and they love it. They hug me, I really feel
like a dad, man. Not just to the five guys, but to the six guys because
I feel like a dad to their manager, too. Their manager is one of the
greatest guys I have ever met in my life.
