Is Snoop Dogg, the Blunt rapper, such a noteworthy fathering expert thanks to his "Fatherhood" [Earlier: "Forgiveness" and "What You See; What You Get"] that Marc Antony will be taking his advice on how to raise his twins? Not that "one baby at a time" is a particularly controversial hint to daddyhood, it's really just the source of the wisdom that causes wonder.

Or should the wonder be shelved in the face of either "just like everyone has an a**h**e, everyone has an opinion" or the preferable, "Father Knows Best." In any case, fathers do give advice. Nothing stops them. From dead fathers — Dmitri Nabokov asks pop and author and deceased Vladimir — and you can't keep one-time first time dads from sharing their experience to one on the cusp of joining their club.

So, dads advise wisely. Even dead fathers provide sage counsel. Is it any wonder Mr. Dogg is an expert or a daughter peddles her butcher dad's advice and wisdom after his death in the prosaically entitled, Lunchmeat & Life Lessons.

** For the most part the Marvelettes got it right, "Daddy Knows Best." **
