Others turn patronizing, pseudo-charming.” —Unnamed NBC executive New York Times, May 24, 1964 And to think this guy was faced with dames as harmless as Connie Francis.

And to think this guy was faced with dames as harmless as Connie Francis. What he’d do nigh on a quarter-century later, now that the lipsticked pout’s spawned a radio
format, countless lines of clothing, and boosted shampoo sales to new heights, is a frightening prospect. Maybe he’d be indicted for machete-killing a family of possums. Maybe he’d merely turn to New Age philosophy and George Winston records. It’s hard to guess, but it just goes to show that a prophet really does go unrecognized in his own time.
