Was Saddened and perplexed........
when Martha’s junior high yearbook listed Everclear’s “Father of Mine” as ‘song of the year.’ I questioned, who but a bitter child of a broken home would want to listen to that song. I guess there is a bigger audience than I thought.

Relapsed Catholic had this link to Symphonies to Sorrow.....As the songs of modern rockers indicate, children continue to feel pain from their parents’ divorce even many years later. This is one of the reasons God condemns divorce so strongly. That’s something to think about in a culture that says if parents are happy, then children will be happy, too. More often than not, it just isn’t true.

Just ask the real experts on divorce: the kids who have gone through it and who are now writing rock-and-roll symphonies to sorrow.
