Musician John Mayer (cool kid, great music, even writes hip music reviews for Esquire Magazine) has a new song out called "Daughters." 
I hereby officially nominate him for most empathic lyrics in a song. (Surpassing "Superman" by Five for Fighting which I wrote about some time ago).
John writes,
"Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too....
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world"
Wow wee. That's a message that should have started ages ago! My question: why couldn't Frank Sinatra, Elvis or some other ancient singer have sung this? Were they asleep at the microphone?!
