Coronet Blue: Candy and David and Jon and Frank




This is an odd little clip. I can't find out much about Coronet Blue because there are only fragments on YouTube. I probably never even watched it, but I do remember that catchy theme song. And Frank Converse, pretty dishy, wasn't he? How old would he be now, or is he even alive? These actors, so fresh-faced, so pretentious in putting on those unplaceable hey-man accents, are now either dead, or all shrivelled up with age.

No doubt, like me, they thought youth would go on forever. No doubt, like me, they thought that the '60s had changed things, really changed things forever, and that it would never go back.

Hey, man. We tried.

  1. In my mind I still truly believe I could step out onto the field in an NFL title game, fill in for the quarterback,throw the winning hail Mary pass and take home the gold. My body loves these moments for the laffter they bring to it.
