Reading the responses earlier, I was pretty much laughing and agreeing with all of you.
But then the more I thought about it- this may be the best part of this guy's life; the first time he belongs and people like him for who he is, and it may be the only time in his life. Some people lead very simple lives; in a way who are we to judge what this guy did with respect to making his "glory years" just that much more glorious. If he is destined to be flipping burgers and living in a trailer for the rest of his life, why not have one part of your life to cling to?
