Babble Talk: Happy Father's Day!

Posted by Gwynne Watkins

Sure, Father's Day isn't until Sunday -- but with so worthy a holiday, why wait to celebrate?  Start by reading Babble's interview with Jim Lindberg, lead singer of the punk band Pennywise and author of the new book Punk Rock Dad.  How does a man known for playing songs like “F*** Authority" handle the pressures of parenthood? (By watching American Idol, apparently.)

Next, watch as two recent dad memoirs square off in Babble Reviews Books. Which will emerge victorious: Robert Wilder's Daddy Needs a Drink or Philip Lerman's Dadditude? The first is written by a Santa Fe essayist; the second, by a former America's Most Wanted producer.  Think you know how this one will turn out? See if you guessed right.

Happy Father's Day to all you Babble-reading dads!
