One of the greats. Great people, great message, great sets, great acting, fantastic animation, delightful puppetry, clever lyrics, and REAL diversity.


He must have been very disheartened to see that Sesame Street devolved into an unintelligible furry red fool, whose boyish "character" consisted of making strings of nonsensical grammatical errors, surrounded by balding, clownish, unkempt creeps of one sort or another, all-


ALL


played by hyperactive AIDS-addled homosexuals in front of the same sad, sickly green-screen set.

Billed as Ed Spinney, the Waltham MA
native was part of the Boston version
of Bozo’s Circus on what was then
WHDH-TV 5.Youtube video of a Bozo show
from ‘66 shows him in costume as Mr
Lion, taking a kid’s name and turning it into an animal drawing.When he spoke in the clip he sounded a bit like Big Bird.

My 10yo daughter has no idea what Sesame Street is.

May he rest in God’s eternal peace. He was such a joy to children and adults alike.

Sesame street is the initial exposure to leftist indoctrination for most kids.
