Johnny and many other Americans were truly saddened yesterday to hear of the death of Soupy Sales at the age of 83. Soupy was a comic genius who was a really good guy too. Johnny got to meet Soupy on the campus of Eastern Michigan University in 1983 for a homecoming event. Soupy took the time to chit chat with Johnny and didn't seem like it was any kind of imposition or that he had somewhere better to be. His show was one of those brilliant "kiddie shows" that was in fact a show for adults. Johnny can remember watching the Soupy Sales Show and having this lion here, Pookie crack him up to no end. Plus, name another kids show with such hip music.
RIP Soupy, you made a difference on this planet by making us laugh and that's all one can hope to achieve.
