Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the fantastic fathers out there, specifically my husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law. I’m also sending a flying kiss to my own father, who I’m sure is smiling down at my boys.
A great film to watch on this “Day of the Dad” is a movie called The Other F Word, directed by Angela Blaugrund Nevins from Rare Bird Films. The tagline reads “Punk rock was never meant to grow up…but it did” and follows several veteran musicians, punk or otherwise, who all face the challenges of fatherhood. Of the groups listed, I’ve seen three in concert: Blink 182, Bad Religion and NOFX, so it was fun to see them interact with their children and hear their thoughts on raising them. The movie is funny and touching, and I think all fathers of all walks of life can relate.
Happy Father’s Day!
