I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Every time Pitbull's "Fireball" comes up on my workout playlist, I envision Marty Feldman from "Young Frankenstein" cheekily mouthing along with the "walk this way" lyric with a little giddyup in his step. And that's how Igor lives on in my heart. ❤️
