"Teenage Daydream: In Vain" together with "Teenage daydream: It's only Rock and Roll" can well be read as a pointed commentary on teenagers' tendency of a devoutness to Hollywood that replaces their own fantasies in favour of a never-ending stream of readily prepared desirable identities to be delivered into their own four pink walls. |
