Song of the Day: 'Daddy in the Attic' by Dory Previn


On the 1970 album "On My Way to Where" by Dory Previn (she married AndrĂ© Previn in 1959 and divorced him in 1970 after he impregnated Mia Farrow) is a song about incest, “With My Daddy in the Attic.” The lyrics include: “And he’ll play / His clarinet / When I despair / With my / Daddy in the attic.” Woody said that Dory—who died in 2012—called him at the time of the molestation allegation to say “that’s where Mia got the story line for her concocted tale.” (Via This Mortal Coil)
