True story: Urban folklore has it that once upon a time in Serbia they called my father ‘The Sheik” because he had his own live-in harem.
The rest you can imagine yourself.
He is now a happily married man for 29+ years (my Mother is probably worth for 10) and cooks and bakes and paints all day in old sweatshirts but this is still my brother’s and mine favorite story of him of all time.
So when the polygamy scandal broke out in Texas a little while back, I felt the need make a classy little polygamy playlist to go along. For them. For us. For my father’s young self.
Too busy with general insanity to write every single song up but here is the gist:
A dash of the Dixie cups, some Robert Palmer, a bad song named “Polyamorous” that made it in on semantics alone, a whole lot of heaven references and, of course “I fought the law and the law won”.
Plus, “God only knows”, the best Beach boys song ever, and the theme to big love.
Sit back, enjoy, and start counting your blessings.
