Max Frost and the Troopers

Hot rock star Max Frost, born Max Flatow (Christopher Jones) is a millionaire by 19, and at 24 gets involved in politics in the nutty 1968 flick Wild in the Streets.

Specifically, he lobbies to lower the voting age to 14 with his protest song "Fourteen or Fight." Successful, he exhorts the youth vote (52 percent of the population) with his anthem "52 Percent" and gets himself elected president. He puts everyone over 35 in camps where they're forcibly dosed with LSD all the time. Not quite as bad as Logan's Run, I guess.

Max's drummer, Stanley X, is played by a very young-looking, clean-shaven Richard Pryor. Also, the band's song "Shape of Things to Come" hit #22 on the US Billboard charts on 28 Oct. 1968. The music was performed by Davie Allan and the Arrows, with an otherwise unknown Paul Wybier on vocals.
