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. |

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. |

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. (for further details & developments in that area, see recent Interview) |

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. |
