The early days of the birthday boy:

Even in 1983, Brett rocked a sweet flannel.

So skanky...off the shoulder. I'd be happy if Brett wore his backpack and looked like this everyday. I am a teacher after all. I'm quite sure he's sporting one of his sister's hand-me-down costumes. He pulls it off so manly, though. However, I'm more concerned with the satanic ghost behind Spidey. Terrifying.
