(34,424 posts)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.

You know your choice of images/film was tougher than a one-armed pushup when C0RI0LANUS didn't guess it right away! Nice one!

You know, Niagara, if Steinbeck had taken any longer to write that book, it would have been The Raisins of Wrath.

Or The Wine of Wrath.

Can I get a bottle of whole coffee beans in the mail instead?
True Dough
(21,537 posts)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.

(10,068 posts)It's a supernatural horror movie.
Harker
(15,443 posts)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.
Niagara
(10,068 posts)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!

(38,171 posts)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.
True Dough
(21,537 posts)You should email them and assure them that Hugh is "Workin for a Livin'."
