Trevor “Trev” Lukather, the musician son of Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, is engaged to Madison Cain, the daughter of Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
Steve Lukather spoke about his son’s engagement during an appearance on the “Behind The Vinyl” podcast. Clarifying that Madison’s mother is not Cain’s current wife, Donald Trump‘s controversial spiritual adviser Paula White-Cain, who prayed for a mass abortion of “satanic pregnancies” last January, Steve said (listen to audio below ): “The crazy one, that’s not her mom. I mean, we all laugh at that and say, oh wow! No offending Jonathan or anything like that, if that’s the way she wants to live, that’s great. Jonathan and I have been friends since I was a teenager, and I love and respect him, but with some of those things, you ‘I just have to say,’ Really, really? ‘ That is all I am going to say about it, because now we are relatives, or we will be. ”
Steve went on to predict that the news of his son’s engagement to Jonathan’s daughter will be greeted with some amusement by the music press, which has never been particularly kind to either band.
“You can imagine all these hipster critics saying, like … they’d lose their minds, ‘You mean there’s going to be a Toto / Journey baby? Nooooo!'” He said. “I can see Jann Wenner’s head from Rolling Stone magazine explode and take a fucking box cutter and cut her throat, you know what I mean. So that’s why I laugh. But she’s a wonderful girl. And I love Jonathan. I’m a huge Journey fan. Those guys are my friends, you know what I mean, and I respect them so much. But there’s an irony to this that you can’t deny. “
When “Behind The Vinyl” interviewers praised Steve for having a sense of humor in the whole thing, he said, “Fuck yeah! I mean, Jonathan was laughing. We’ve both been abused by the press from day one. You know what I mean, and now the combination of the two has to be, like, ‘Noooo! What if he’s a musician? Noooooo!’ Get ready to be a meme, that’s all I said. It’s good that I have a sense of humor about it because when this comes out, the number of shit people are going to give us is hilarious. You have to have a sense of humor, buddy. .
Madison’s mother is Jonathan’s second wife, Elizabeth Yvette Fullerton, with whom he has two other children, twins Liza and Weston, born in 1996. He and Elizabeth divorced in late 2014.
