Travis Barker Stars In 'Helping Parents To Rock' PSA

10/29/2012
. (CBS Local) In Jimmy Kimmel Live's most recent sponsor-driven sketch, Blink-182's Travis Barker tells the story of a once super-cool, tattooed rock star that had sadly lost his mojo after becoming a parent.

"Being a dad is great. But things start to happen to you that they don't tell you about in parenting books.. dark things," Barker says with a stoic, rather depressed-looking face. Fortunately for the drummer, he's soon saved when he finds an invaluable public service that restores his old life; "Helping Parents To Rock."

According to the PSA, his time as a parent had robbed him of his drumming chops and destroyed his taste in music and pension for making trouble. Read more and watch the PSA here.
