I'm not sure what effect the absence of a "father" might have on girls growing up.It could be profound...it could be negligible.It could be that such girls suffer more from the absence of a mother.But one thing's for certain...boys who grow up without a decent and respectable "father" (who needn't be the biological father) far more often than not turn out bad.Black boys,white boys,brown boys,yellow boys...it doesn't matter.

I was lucky enough to have two good,decent,admirable parents who were good to me and taught me well.I suspect that that's the biggest single reason for my having turned out to be,perhaps,fairly decent.

Of all the great,great classics of the 60's this is one of my very favorites.It reminds me of my Dad.I wonder how Martin might have turned out if he had experienced what is contained in this song.

It is profound. A girl growing up without a decent father does not learn to discern a real man from a trashy bum. She will have problems in dealing with the opposite gender, as unless she has brothers, the opposite gender will be completely alien to her.

Why do you think we have the Maddonas, and the Kim Kardashians in this world?
