* DeliberateValuesDissonance: When Al was growing up with his [[FantasyForbiddingFather music-restricting parents]], it was during the 1960s and his father was very abusive and used violence. Today he would have gotten in ''serious'' trouble and child protective services would have been called by the time he brutally beat up the accordion salesman. Al's mother refused to help the salesman. Today, she too would have gotten in trouble for allowing the violence to happen in the same home her child lives in.
Added DiffLines:
* SeriousBusiness: The police arrested Al as a teenager for attending the polka party and playing the accordion during it, treating it as illegal.
