Soupy Sales

Soupy Sales

 

The last of the kids teevee program pioneers. RIP. And give God a big pie in the face when you see him, he'll get a chuckle out of it.

 

The ABC obit piece notes that his sons Hunt and Tony Sales are musicians and were 2/3 of Bowie's of Tin Machine. Leww well-known but more important (to me), they were the rhythm section on Todd Rundgren's debut album Runt and were part of Todd's touring band of the same name.

IIRC, Hunt Sales was the drummer. And was amazing.

Tony Sales was also in Chequered Past with Steve Jones.

 

I was never a big fan of Soupy Sales, but it was a little before my time.

(I almost never get to say something was before my time anymore, LOL)

Sad to hear about Soupy.

Awesome show, Brady Physics, Celebrity Dead or Alive, just some of the awesome categories.

Has she been linked to drugs? That's crazy...

Hmm. Right after this post I checked all the major news websites and no one has reported it yet (aside from TMZ).

 

I guess there's something to say about Fox and CNN not posting information detailing a celebrity's death until it has been independently confirmed. I'm surprised -- I would have expected everyone to jump right on the news after TMZ posted it.

 

If it's true, I'm placing all my money on a heroin overdose.

I'd be surprised if it was hard core street drugs.

 

I'm going with anorexia with a combination of alcohol and prescription drugs.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was cocaine either.

The coroner said it appeared to be natural causes.

 

I'd say that it was linked to anorexia somehow.

So sad, I loved her in Clueless and she had the best line: "Why should I listen to you? You're a virgin who can't drive."
