ROCKER DAD
With Father’s Day around the corner (June 14), let’s honor things we adore in the man who taught us how to drive a stick shift, change a tire and cuss at the TV. There’s something for every type of dad on this list. (I have to admit that while compiling this, I fell a little in love with this imaginary VIVdad, as I took to calling him.)
Thanks for: Teaching us to play “Hey Jude” on the piano — and “Foxy Lady” on the air-guitar.
For him: If you’re on a budget — like us — make his guitar as cool as he is, with 60-inch long straps made of subtle gray and black plaid ($69) or red, black and white argyle printed fabric over nylon ($59) from Capturing Couture. Each has a 20-inch velvet-lined shoulder pad, embossed leather ends and shiny nickel-finish hardware.
