To all the Fathers . . .
Being a Father myself, I understand the responsibilty of being a teacher of what is right and wrong, a protector, and leader. My Father was and is all these things and more. With all the issues with men abandoning their families, and not taking responsibility, it is harder and harder to find men like my Father, and I only hope to be as good a Father as he was.
Additionally, this is dedicated to my wife's Father who passed away before I met her. The more I find out about him, the more I am sure I would love him, and it makes me sad to think, I never met him, someone so important to who she is. He would have loved the Willie Nelson concert. There is a lot of butterfly symbolism associated with my paintings, that usually is Larry. He would be proud.
To all the Fathers, it is a big responsibility, not always easy, but your children will love you forever if you are there and interested in their lives. If you need help, find it, there is nothing more fufilling than helping to create great men and women.
You are listening too, Bridge Over Troubled Water, this version by Johnny Cash (with some Fiona Apple backgrounds), this is dedicated to my Father, this song is about him and great Fathers in general. In way it also makes me consider the reversing of roles between parents and children. BTW, if you have never heard any of Cash's American Recordings, some of the most amazing music of the past 10 years. Cash recorded about 120 songs or so, with producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys fame) over the course of the three months between when his wife June Carter, and he died. There is one last one coming out July 4th, American V: A Hundred Highways. Very, very haunting.
I am Malach and I am proud to be a Father.
