Unwed Fathers notes
"I wrote this with Bobby Braddock; he wrote 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' and 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E'. We got fooled into writing together. There was this girl that worked at Tree Publishing. She was good friends with Bobby, and she told me Bobby was dying to write with me. And she told Bobby that John Prine was dying to write with him. So we called each other, flattered, and found out neither of us had said any such thing. But it turned out to be a really good thing. We decided that we were going to write at his house the day after the Super Bowl, I wrote down 15 titles, including one called 'Children Having Children' and 'Unwed Fathers'. I was reading the list off to him, and all the lights went on with those two. We kind of combined them and went right into it.!" ~John Prine
