THE STORY: Reverend Murphy was born in Brooklyn, New York, hundreds years ago in a hot hot summer. He had one son and a daughter: Freddie Murphy and Chiara Lee. They choose 2 different ways: the little Lee went to China, while Freddie was stuck in Brooklyn. They kept in touch for a while, then both fell asleep for many years. Three years ago they met again in Venice, where they got baptized by Vicar Vittorio Demarin, and there you go: Father Murphy was born. Read more about Father Murphy on Last.fm.
