daishannigans:John may have had a “quit-me father” but he eventually ended up with a dad: Fred Farebrother. He became a more supportive and dependable father figure than Stanley ever was. A local painter and home decorator, Farebrother was everything Stanley wasn’t — easygoing, warm, and fully engaged with Reg Dwight’s burgeoning music career. As both a sign of affection and John’s absurdist sense of humor, he christened his stepfather “Derf,” an inversion of “Fred.” — Matt Springer -- source link
