Deacon Dark

Real pop star and former U.S. Representative (R, CA from 1994 'till his untimely death in a 1998 skiing accident) Sonny Bono portrays this Alice Cooper slash KISS-style rocker in the (08/11/79) episode of that guest star-studded series, The Love Boat. As Captain Stubing (Gavin MacLeod) says, "He's no Jerry Vale!" He falls in love with a deaf girl and sings her a sappy love song. Sellout! Booo! Hisss!
