What's with the History references?


Is there anything deeper than what's on the surface with all the history references?

- Tommy drops his history book while running to school as a kid.
- The D+ was in history (which he sucked at).
- Michelle Brockman sat next to him in history class as a kid.

Is there anything deeper here?
