Crystal Bowersox Is Getting Parenting Tips From Pat Simmons

Posted by Adam

Crystal BowersoxCRYSTAL Bowersox has been getting parenting tips from the Doobie Brothers’ Pat Simmons while opening West Coast dates for the group.

“Pat has been great,” Crystal says.

“He was playing with my son Sunday in San Diego and gave me some advice about touring with a little one. He said don’t leave ‘em at home; you’ve got to take ‘em with you. Their boy, he said, is 20 now, and he’s toured every single year with them. This is the first year that he won’t be — he’s going to Australia. They’ve taken him on the bus every year, so it can be done.”

Recent reports claimed Crystal — who in October married boyfriend Brian Walker – is a “free spirit” when it comes to her sexuality — and has a secret gay past.

“Crystal was a free spirit,” an insider told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“She wasn’t slutty, but if she found someone attractive, whether male or female, she’d give them a chance with her.

“It was around New Year’s 2002, Crystal was 16 and she and I were chatting with a pal, a younger boy.

“The conversation got around to our sexual experiences

“Crystal wasn’t at all shy. She told me she’d had sexual experiences with three girls. ‘I’m a pro at this, baby!’ she said.

“She said one affair — with a girl her age at school — was a serious lesbian relationship. The other two were more like sexual experimentation.

“She suddenly asked, ‘Do YOU want to try it?’”
