The great Soupy Sales died

But shows what mistake it was for a semi-beatnik to be given a kids show (which Iloved as a little kid).At one point he told the kids "Go to Daddy's Wallet and send Soupy a Dollar".He never thought kids would do it and though it's hysterical now the kids did send him money and I think that's when he lost his show.Thank goodness Mort Sahl never got a kids show or we'd end up more neurotic as generation than we are!yeah a class act.

the infamous 'new year's day' show

Remember White Fang and Black Tooth!!

I think I'll spin "Pachalafakah" (however it's spelled) in his honor, if I can ever find it.

I'm from the Detroit area and was a child fan of Soupy's mad antics until starting school, only to be associated by the similar sound of our last names (mine was real, his contrived). It sucked being called soupy in school as I had nothing other than a name to associate me with Milton Supman. Yet in retrospect, he was ground breaking at the time and made people think. And in all his fun, I think he left some people happy which is indeed a great thing.

Happy Listening!
