  "account": "This summer, the Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years In the Atmosphere Tour is featuring father-son musical collaborations. Train frontman Pat Monahan's 14-year-old son Rock joins the band to perform \"Stone in Love,\" \"Vacation,\" and \"Save Me, San Francisco.\" Barenaked Ladies guitarist Ed Robertson's 26-year-old son Lyle is also part of the group, playing guitar, bass, keyboards, and vocals. Lyle originally intended to fill in for Jim Creeggan, whose father recently passed away. The father-son combinations have not only brought a unique dynamic to the performances but also allowed the bands to expand their lineup. Both bands have praised the experience, with Train's Pat Monahan stating that it is \"a thrill\" to see his son succeed and BNL's Ed Robertson appreciating Lyle's musical talent and the added versatility to the band.",
