Happy Father’s Day

June 19th, 2011

Rock stars haven’t churned out very many Father’s Day songs, but Bruce Springsteen had a nice one on his Tunnel of Love album. Here’s “Walk Like A Man” performed in 2005. With Clarence on our minds today, this seems doubly appropriate, even though it’s a sax-free solo piano version. (I suspect a lot of sons out there will also find some powerful resonance in this line: “Well I was young and I didn’t know what to do / when I saw your best steps stolen away from you.) Here’s to all my fellow fathers; we’re all just tryin’ to walk like a man.
