[music] amusement of the day

[kaberett]

I have talked before about Frank Turner, and about how he has (and I say this very fondly) relatively recently Discovered Toxic Masculinity and also Invented Feminism and generally very clearly been doing a lot of work on himself. I sincerely hope he is doing as much better as the music makes it sound, right.

But. But.

Adam found me an NME article about him. Specifically, about his trans parent, whom he previously thought of as his father.

And. Well.

I've spent a lot of today making A, and also various other people I know who like his stuff, listen to Father's Day (lyrics).

Because goodness me.

Oh, wow.

I confess that we have been cackling a lot (TWENTY YEARS OF WAKING SLEEP/OF LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH/OF EVERY FATHER'S DAY SPENT WONDERING/WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!!!), but we have also been having actual serious conversations about how well the parallels between his parent's transition and his own Invention Of Feminism And Toxic Masculinity put a whole lot of resonance into that last "and for better or for worse/I am turning into you".

I really hope it's as much "for better" as it sounds like for both of them, basically. <3
