of Broadway work. Producing etc. I have not seen anything about him lately just a few things not long after Spring Awakening. He did a show based on the music of Green Day called American Idiot. Producer I believe. I cannot remember much else at this point in time though, I am certain there must have been more.

Koffee Kult's Thunder Bolt. It's a French roast coffee that some say has a robust body and a slightly sweet aftertaste that's similar to wine.

I saw it when it first appeared on TV, and while I don't recall this particular scene, it looks like an automotive garage - and this guy has the look and vibe of the era.

And I remember it's a favorite of yours.

The actor playing "Buddy Repperton" is William Ostrander. He ran for the Democratic Party for an election to the California State Assembly in 2018 but lost the race.







Yes, you are correct. "Christine" is in my Halloween rotation!

Huey Lewis mostly grew up in Mill Valley, but attended an East Coast prep school. However, he took one summer course at Tamalpais High School (machine shop) and was entered onto the Tam alumni reunion list. When his class reunion came up the committee sent out a ‘Have you seen?’ list. One of the missing persons was Hugh Anthony Cregg.
