...their wavelength, the functioning world is the one operating on false values. In Step Brothers that world is represented by Brennan's brother Derek (Adam Scott), a preener and underminer whose sabotaging of a Brennan musical performance back in high school was our hero's defining trauma. Now Derek has a couple of kids so impeccable, they hardly appear in the movie, and a wife, Alice (Kathryn Hahn), whose cooped-up loathing of Derek propels her into the loins of a very surprised Dale. But Derek is just here as the villain, and Alice to wean Dale out of babyhood...
...torn from Vedder's own life. Vedder was born in Chicago, the oldest of four children. The first records he can remember enjoying were Motown records, songs by the young Michael Jackson. Neil Young came next, and the Who's album Quadrophenia. He identified with its portrayal of adolescent trauma. Vedder never knew his real father.

If your doctor schedules you for a scan, call ahead to see if you can bring a flash drive. That way you can take an electronic copy of your CT scan to go, and may be able...
...notion that black families are mired in self-imposed trauma stems from Daniel Patrick Moynihan's 1965 report, in which Moynihan argued that the black family was a "tangle of pathology" whose destruction by slavery had produced female-headed households, absent fathers and high illegitimacy. Interestingly, Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the few Negro leaders who refused to condemn the future New York Senator's report.
