Images of The Muppets & The 21st Anniversary of Jim Henson's Passing
May 17th was the 21st anniversary of Jim Henson's passing, and while reflective emotions prevail, and nothing is worth it's weight in words now, we take a look at a variety of imagery - seen around the www - of his beloved creations: "The Muppets".

And frankly, nothing speaks more than this classic evergreen that never grows old:
DESCRIPTION: "The Rainbow Connection" was written for The Muppet Movie and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1979. It is sung by Kermit as the movie's opening number and reprised by the whole cast of Muppets at the end of the movie. The single of this song reached #25 on Billboard's "Hot 100 Singles" chart in 1979. [via]
