Edd "Kookie" Byrnes is DEAD to me!

He won't be lending anyone his comb again.

It’s always sad when these people die and I’m more shocked to learn they were still alive. RIP, Vince Fontaine

I love his front handspring mic catch at the end of Hand Jive!

Well, at least this is going to take attention off of the Iranian crisis, Trumps impeachment, and the news about Harry&Meghan.

This isn’t an eldergay celebrity. Anyone who actually saw this guy on tv is so old they can be carbon dated.

Wasn’t he the Flying Nun?

My wife's cousin was briefly married to songwriter Irving Taylor's daughter, Suzanna. I had no idea who Irving Taylor was, but the wedding reception was held at his swanky SoCal house and he was very pleasant. I found myself in "the record room," and came face-to-face with his several Gold Records—the first of which I saw was [italic]Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb.[/italic] It actually impressed me that I now knew someone who had a direct link to the hottie, Edd Byrnes, at whom I'd masturbated for years.

You must stop thinking of youthful ignorance as an accomplishment, R4.

Such talent on display in that video at R5! And yet it was a big hit at the time.

You can clearly see Dinah Mannof’s (Marty, green dress) knee pad in that clip, r7. And had it lasted a few more seconds, you’d get to see a bigger chunk of it.

"77 Sunset Strip" had such a cool intro. Chock full of handsome guys.

LMAO, R4.

Q: Just how eldergay?

A: My mother had a HUGE crush on him, his hair and his comb, long before I was born. Him and Tom Mix (wtf?). She died two years ago at 91.

I hope he left his comb to my girl Amy K.

Tom Mix was a silent screen star. Even at 91, your mom would've been way too young to be a fan.

Yeah. Always found him the hottest of all in Grease.

77 Sunset Strip is what I hoped being a grown up was like: jazzy music, cigarettes, skinny ties, a convertible, and California weather.

I love 77 Sunset Strip. Didn’t even think Kookie was still alive! He always came off as bi-leaning, even with the fray overbearing straight man cool cat facade.
