It's tough for a very young child to explain to the other school kids 'yeah, mom was on the cover of Playboy and dad's this wacky rock star who has a talking codpiece and spits fire.'
When you are a rock star in front of 20,000 people, you receive instant gratification. A rock star on tour is a king in his domain.
