  • In a nightmare, Willie dreams Alf is his school roommate.
  • The Tanners find their Woodstock videos in the attack. After Willie explains the hippy movement, ALF accuses him of being a sell out. Willie has a dream where he imagines ALF as his roommate "Snout." In the end, Willie decides that his decision to go into social services as a career proves that he is not a sell out.
  • "My Back Pages" is a song written by Bob Dylan and included on his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan. It is stylistically similar to his earlier folk protest songs and features Dylan's voice with an acoustic guitar accompaniment. However, its lyrics—in particular the refrain "Ah, but I was so much older then/I'm younger than that now"—have been interpreted as a rejection of Dylan's earlier personal and political idealism, illustrating his growing disillusionment with the 1960's folk protest movement with which he was associated, and his desire to move in a new direction. Despite having been written in 1964, the song was not performed live by Dylan until 1988.

"My Back Pages" has been covered by artists as diverse as Keith Jarrett, The Byrds, the Ramones, The Nice, Steve Earle, and The Hollies. The Byrds' version, which was initially released on their 1967 album Younger Than Yesterday, was also issued as a single in 1967, and proved to be the band's last Top 40 hit in the U.S.
