Good Charlotte  The Story of My Old Man

Good Charlotte – The Story of My Old Man

I went through Good Charlotte’s entire discography to count the number of times they mentioned their deadbeat dad in song. The answer is 14.

Actually, that number is complete fabrication, but it’s a good guess, no? The short story is that he had a drinking problem and he just up and left one day. The Madden bros say, “Do anything you can not to end up like them.” So far, so good, Joel…

they mention him in 11 songs. Counting Christmas By The Phone, they dont say Dad or Father but its about him.
I need to get a life..

Every Kerrang interview up until last summer they would STILL mention their dad. Like, without fail...I think pretty much everyone was wishing they'd get over it. But alas they've put it in the part and have 'forgiven' him (so yay no more ranty dad songs on the new album!)

The baby looks like she's eyeing something she wants to steal.

But surprisingly that album (yound and hopeless) is the best out of all of them...in my opinion.

Well, there is also a song, called Emotionless and it is about their father, too.
Total: 15 1 2
