Homer Simpson
When I was 17, I drank some very good beer. I drank some very good beer, I purchased with a fake I.D. My name was Brian McGee. I stayed up listening to Queen. When I was 17.
— The Simpsons ‧ 1989
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker recalls being seventeen in a comic, nostalgic song: drinking very good beer bought with a fake ID under the name Brian McGee, then staying up listening to Queen. The repeated lines make a small teenage rebellion sound like a treasured, slightly absurd peak.
