You may be a fan of Father’s Day, you may not. Life is weird, things happen. You might have a dad, you may be a dad, or the closest thing you might know is a Daddy you see once a fortnight for some pretty weird times. The world’s a big place, things happen.
No matter what Father’s Day means to you, you have zero excuse to not be a fan of Split Enz. Zero excuse. Ya hear?
