When I was in high school, I was in love with the Cranberries. Sure, the lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, sported a shaved head and sang something about zombies, but she just had a certain something about her.

Now, she's got a four certain somethings about her. As in children. And she's cooler than ever. Turns out Dolores took time off from making crappy albums in the Cranberries later years to raise a family and do what all other rock stars like to do: knit.

The San Francisco Chronicle's kick-ass music critic, and fellow Poop writer, Aidin Vaziri interviewed the former Cranberries front woman about life on the road, her four kids and how she manages to still be awesome.

Or as Aidin put it: "It doesn't look like a bunch of kids came out of you."
