The Other F-Word. Documentary about punk rockers as Fathers.
http://www.theotherfwordmovie.com/

"The Other F Word is a raucous, eye-opening, sad and unexpectedly wise look at veteran punk rockers as they adapt to the challenges of fatherhood. To be sure, watching foul- mouthed, colorfully inked musicians attempt to fit themselves into Ward Cleaver's smoking jacket provides for some consistently hilarious situational comedy, but the film's deeper delving into a whole generation of artists clumsily making amends for their own absentee parents could strike a resonant note with anyone (punk or not) who's stumbled headfirst into family life."

- Andrew Barker, Variety

1. Punkers were pretty good guys.
Every old punker I know really who to have kids wanted to be good dad. Most of them did and were.
I'll bet even the later punk guys in this movie are mostly good dads.

spirit of 77 & shit...

This week the minivan CD is "Los Angeles" by X
