Hey there, y'all. A big happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads out there. Under normal circumstances -- being a big music geek -- I like to post a holiday-suitable song here (as I slavishly beat the joke of posting Danzig's "Mother" into the ground every Mother's Day). In any event, the only "dad"-centric songs that come to mind are invariably songs about absentee fathers (Jane's Addiction's "Had a Dad"), brutal abuse (NoMeansNo's harrowing "Dad") and bitter, repressed teenage resentment ("Gimme the Car" by the Violent Femmes, "My Dad Sucks" by the Descendents). None of them seem really that appropriate, under the circumstances. So, herewith a quick little rumination from Dennis Leary on fatherhood. Enjoy. Happy Father's Day. Give your old man a call.
