Does anyone recall the late 60s movie "Wild in the Streets?" [View all]

(I realize this is more Lounge in content, but assuming the “no politics” would apply.)

Anyhow, the current youngest member of congress is Maxwell Frost of AZ.

In the movie, a rock star turned politician named Max Frost becomes the youngest person to become president after serving first as either representative or senator (can’t remember which.)

I simply find it a strange curiosity. That’s it.
