Gift Guide: Top 10 Brooklyn Father’s Day Presents
Music
Ultimate “Dad musician” Bruce Springsteen is playing in England on Father’s Day weekend, so you won’t get to surprise your father with tickets to see Bruce anytime soon. Which is really a shame because there is no musician that dads like more than Bruce Springsteen. Well, except for Bob Dylan. But you don’t really want to take your dad to see him live, do you? I didn’t think so. There’s always the Rolling Stones, though, who, sure, are probably way older than your dad, but still qualify as dad music. The Stones aren’t playing in New York, but they are playing in Philadelphia on June 18 & 21, and so if you get tickets for you and your dad, you could take a road trip together. Which, if there’s one thing that dads like more than the Rolling Stones, it’s listening to the Stones while taking a mini-road trip to see the Stones live. If you do this, your dad’s head will probably explode with happiness. Or, for an alternate musical experience, take your dad to see the Walkmen at the Northside Festival this weekend. Bonus: your dad will feel cool and tickets are free.
