Stevie Boy sounds like he was custom built for kneepads:

Stephen Marche (born 1976) is a Canadian novelist and writer for magazines and newspapers. His first novel, Raymond and Hannah, was published in 2005, and his second Shining at the Bottom of the Sea, in 2007. Both received widespread critical acclaim, in Canada and the United States.[1]

He currently writes a monthly column for Esquire, “A Thousand Words about our Culture,” which in 2011 was a finalist of the American Society of Magazine Editors award for columns and commentary, and a weekly column for the National Post, “Close Reading.”[2] In 2005, he received a doctorate in early modern English drama from the University of Toronto.[3]

Marche has strongly criticized the blasphemy law in Ireland, arguing that it violates contemporary norms about freedom of speech.[4] He is currently working on a book about Shakespeare’s impact on world history.[5]

On October 16, 2010, Marche wrote for the Globe and Mail a column which was criticized by some as “gutter” journalism and which was subsequently pulled from the paper’s website. The column was described by some as a “personal assault” on a political candidate during an election and as representative of “left wing” obsessiveness with weight.[6][7] However, others have argued that the column is not a straightforward “personal assault” on an individual, but rather an interpretation of obesity as a cultural symbol.[8]

Born in 1976. So he doesn’t remember the Carter years.
