FRIENDS OF TYPE
I was honored to be asked to be guest poster for a week on the amazing Friends of Type. Noticing a theme while coming up with some of these, I went for the gusto and did a full "Dad-Rock Week" on the site. You can read the stories, see the pieces and hear all the songs on the site.
The day you were born your dad built a rocket. Loaded with all his favorite records and powered with spare parts from his Chevy Nova, he aimed the rocket at your Saturn, lit the fuse, and watched it disappear into the night sky while blasting some Supertramp. The party was over and it was time for him to get down to some serious dadding. Now, a couple of decades later, your Saturn is returning, colonized with your dad’s record collection and a healthy population of good vibes. It’s been a long, exhausting journey and your Saturn is ready to throw back a couple of domestic cans and just CHILL OUT. Hey bud, let’s party.
