Larry King Live Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher Discuss Family Matters Aired January 20, 2000 - 9:00 p.m. ET

KING: Were you at all troubled -- I mean, it's obvious, it's been a major story, that David Crosby had addiction problems. Were you troubled that that would carry through to the child?

CYPHER: It's something that crossed our minds, but I don't think it was anything -- well obviously, it didn't stop us from it, because we decided that there were other qualities and characteristics that would pass through as well that were much more important.

KING: Did you check with a doctor?

CYPHER: Yes, we did a lot of research.

KING: And what did they say? I mean, did they say your child could be...

CYPHER: No.

KING: A tendency to be alcoholic?

CYPHER: That is one strain of research and one theory of how it could be. And that could be possible.

KING: But?

CYPHER: Or it could not.

KING: David, did that concern you?

D. CROSBY: Not really. My parents weren't alcoholics and none of my children are, so you know -- I certainly was, you know, but...

KING: It's considered genealogical, though, isn't it?

D. CROSBY: Yes, there are people who feel very strongly that there is a marker for it, a gene marker, and it's quite possible that there is. You know what, it's been so long for me now; it's been 14 years that I've been straight that I have trouble, you know, being worried about it. I probably should, you know, but I don't think of myself that way that much.

KING: Jan, were you concerned at all in that regard?

J. CROSBY: Not at all.

KING: No?

J. CROSBY: No.

KING: No fears that either Bailey and then Beckett would be?

J. CROSBY: No, no.

D. CROSBY: The truth is, Larry, the evidence in front of us was this little child Jango (ph), and he's...

KING: Your child.

D. CROSBY: Yes, he's like a poster that says, "Have children," you know, and I think all of us looked at that and felt, you know, this was good an evidence that we would be probably be lucky and the children would be great, and that's been borne out. The children are wonderful.

KING: We'll take a break and come back with more. We will be including your phone calls. This is LARRY KING LIVE.

Don't go away.
