RIP

Another part of my youth has just disappeared.

Soupy Sales is dead.

He died this past Thursday in a New York City hospice at the age of 83.

One of the things that endeared him to me and my friends was how much of this "kids show" would go straight over the heads of its supposed target audience, directly to their older brothers and sisters. Now, that's almost passe. In the '60s it was positively subversive.
