Last year I went to a Dead Prez concert at the Shattuck Downlow. All three brothas on stage were wearing Godfather t-shirts, at least that is what I thought at first. After about twenty minutes, it hit me – their shirts said Goodfather. There was an extra “o” that completely changed my perception of the shirt.
Ever since then I have been looking for the shirt and contemplating what it is to be a Goodfather. I never found it even at Cafe Press so I had some made up with the intention of using the shirts for social change. I know that people in general have an idea what a good father is. On January 11th, I changed my Facebook status to “Dave is pondering what it means to a good father… What do you think is most important?” and got the following responses:
P.S. Dave~I love the fact that you are putting this out there…very cool!
