I prefered the old teeth to be honest.

Thanks for the compliment Lee. I didn't know you cared!

I'd forgotten all about him. Dead right?
You jinxed him!
Pie-splattered comedian Soupy Sales dies at 83
(AP) – 25 minutes ago
DETROIT — Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83.
Former manager and longtime friend Dave Usher of Detroit says Sales died Thursday night at a hospice in New York. Usher says Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week.
Sales began his TV career in Detroit, where he drew a large audience on WXYZ-TV. He move to Los Angeles in 1961.
The comic's pie-throwing schtick became his trademark, and celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Shirley MacLaine queued up to take one on the chin.
Sales was born Milton Supman in North Carolina in 1926. He grew up in Huntington, W.Va.
He is really incredible. Beautiful music and fantastic stage performance. He will be remembered for all his great work.
David or Soupy ?

He wore leggings so tight in that the BMA actually use the film to instruct new doctors about the male anatomy. You'd think they would have a bit more inside knowledge by then though. Although I've seen Tim Walker's posts and can sort of see where they're coming from

Agreed. He's one of the top five greatest pop song writers ever imo but you chose a song from what musicologists technically call his Shite period.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--IqqusnNQ - Life on Mars - one of the greatest climbs from verse into soaring chorus.
And my fave ever Bowie song - Ashes to Ashes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMm4rJemtI - Ashes to ashes, funk to funky - If I ever went gay Bowie would be the reason... I think that last sentence is actually a subliminal message in the song too.
My fave Bowie album is Low. That's luvverly.
Composer John Williams, love this guys work so much...
