Wow...this is one weird teenager, where did he come from the sixties. What is up with all the Beatles stuff? And who ever heard of a 13 year old in this day and age idolizing The Who. Aren't kids these days into those other one namers, like Fergie and Usher. A Def Leppard concert - don't kids these days want to go see bands like Nickelback. ALF - how many people even remember that show from the 80s and where did he hear about it (he also has all 4 seasons of this show on DVD in his room). As retro as he is with his music and TV shows, he does seem to have some current interests in football and Nascar and he seems to like sports (and must be good) with all those ribbons hanging. He also seems a little sentimental - keeping old cards hanging on his wall, a picture of him and his mom and an old wall hanging. He sure does sound like quite the teenager!!

You do a nice job of convincing us of the contradictions, the anomalies, the old and new, retro and current. I still find it strange that my son (born in 1974) always loved the Beatles, the way his mumma does. I, naturally, always preferred the Stones, which tells you a lot about opposites attracting.....
The care you give to the details on the walls is impressive as is your strong, short, third- personsummary graf.
