My One Boy Cuddly Toy?
This is truly excellent. Brandon Cruz, who played Eddie in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" is now a punk singer currently performing as the lead vocalist for The Dead Kennedys. He also released a solo album called "Eddie Is a Punk" with four different versions of the show's theme song.
In other news, it appears that a new version of the TV series was being made, and he appeared as a character in it. Apparently, though, the WB didn't pick it up for their fall schedule.

Way cool, Lesley! I loved this series when it was first on, and have wondered from time to time what happened to Cruz.

Cruz has actually been singing for punk bands for over twenty years, most famously for Dr. Know.
I saw them several times back then. Tremendously good...as these things went.
His singing for DK has been a source of lots of bitterness. Many people say that DK simply can't be DK without Jello Biafra.
Me? I'm easy.
And still dead! ;)
