Thomas Daniel "Tim" Conway (born December 15, 1933) is an Emmy award-winning American comedian and actor, who has worked in sitcoms, sketch comedy, and film. Conway is best known for his role in the popular 1960s WWII sitcom McHale's Navy as the inept Ensign Charles Parker, second in command to Lt. Commander Quinton McHale (Ernest Borgnine), and for co-starring alongside Carol Burnett on The Carol Burnett Show.
Conway was born in Willoughby, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, to an Irish father and Romanian mother, and grew up in nearby Chagrin Falls. He attended Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, majoring in speech and radio, and was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. After graduating, he joined the Army, and thereafter took a job at a Cleveland radio station, at first answering mail and later as a writer in the promotional department. Conway changed his first name to "Tim" to avoid confusion with actor Tom Conway.
Conway moved back to Cleveland to work with Ernie Anderson on KYW-TV, an NBC affiliate, in 1958 and 1959 and later, from 1960 to 1962, on WJW TV, (then the CBS affiliate) on the weekday morning film (under the Ernie's Place banner) where he also wrote material for the comedic skits shown in between film intermissions. Conway recorded a comedy album with Anderson.
from the time of the heretic
back to the age of the cyber web
wearing the stole of an Anglican priest in New England--
so they call this land
two thousand one and still nothing has changed
mankind is dragging in corruption and sin
lined up like cans of meat up on a shelf
stacking in their houses
there's sex on TV
in the mist of an empty life
they just clock in each day
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
where's my soul that should live forever
where's my heaven? Life is pain
where's the dream that will last forever?
children abused on the screen as a rule
technology serves euro chemical wars
cops getting killed by the squad of the mayor
if this isn't Hell, tell me what can be Hell?
as a core of a senseless life
they just clock in each day
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
where's my soul that should live forever
where's my heaven? Life is pain
where's the dream that will last forever?
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
where's my soul that should live in a world of light and love until The End
tenebraum
rex sigillum in oculos impii ponit
qui obscuritatem
vitat eum vaniis blanditiis
temporis proximae
vitae et angelici
gregis donans
two thousand one and still nothing has changed
mankind is dragging in corruption and sin
lined up like cans of meat up on a shelf
stacking in their houses
there's sex on TV
in the mist of an empty life
they just clock in each day
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
where's my soul that should live forever
where's my heaven? Life is pain
where's the dream that will last forever?
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
where's my soul that should live forever
where's my heaven? Life is pain
where's the dream that will last forever?
where's my heaven? Life is Hell
