RL History
(Escape From Nerdhood)

A Danish-American GI from Brooklyn married a French girl after the war,
and they had a son back in the USA. 
Bobby played the role of a "typical" American Christian Family boy.
His Church-centric Dad even did Boy-Scouty things with him.

Lucienne (Mom) - 1946

Carl (Dad) & Bobby - 1956

Later, he sang doo-wop wid duh guys in duh streets, men's rooms, and subways. His retarded development resulted in a lingering falsetto voice, which facilitated the high lead solos.

RL & the Guys-1961

He married his teenage girlfriend (acquired by default over the other Special One from duh guy on duh right above, who eventually married her).
All four friends attended both weddings.

The childhood marriage did produce an Onlybegotten Son,
with whom he became closer friends once he lived away from The Boy's Mother.

Dad & Son - 1977

The Only Son left his dad's "hip" home after a few years. He soon realized that life was real, the street sucked, and he reallocated a [good] portion of his mind and energies to "serious" matters.

on the road...
and at home.

(Like I said, this was just an early draft of a history. It ends in 1998, omitting years of ever-expanding club life leading god-knows-where.
