2. It's already hit the cable stations, MSNBC,CNN,Headline News

and Fox.
I'm glad they're all interrupting everything to talk about this great man.

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. CBS broke in with a special report about it

He was always my favorite 60 Minutes reporter

[Marnieworld]

Damn That sucks!

So young. Too bad. He seemed really cool too. Bummer. I love how he interviewed Howard Stern. He almost got him to cry. The hip earing thing. Great guy. What a shame. :cry:

5. Long may you run Ed, long may you run.

We've been through
some things together
With trunks of memories
still to come
We found things to do
in stormy weather
Long may you run.

8. That's really young in this day and age

Was he ill?

[Janice325]

12. He passed away this morning from leukemia.

:cry:

[Rockstone]

9. Bradley was a singer too

I think i heard him sing country western once on tv

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. He sang blues and played the harp.

He was damn good at it too.

A true gentleman. His likes will not soon be seen again.

[question everything]

19. I enjoyed his hosting a jazz program on the radio (nt)

[DinahMoeHum]

27. He MC'd at several Jimmy Buffett concerts and did a few interviews

with him on "60 Minutes"

I saw Bradley at the JB show November 21, 2001 at Madison Square Garden, NYC. It was the last stop on Jimmy's tour for that year, and he made it a special benefit for the victims of September 11. He gave away the whole gate $$$ that night - over $1 million.

Jimmy has a couple of tour stops coming up next week in West Palm Beach and Tampa, FL. I suppose he'll play excerpts from those interviews as a tribute.

You'll be missed, Ed Bradley.

:cry::cry::cry:

18. I wonder if this is the type of leukemia that is prevalent in males in that

age group? My uncle died of leukemia at 65 as well. Apparently, a particular type is a risk in this age group.

29. Ed Bradley was one of the crown jewels of CBS's news division

The consummate professional and an outstanding journalist. His reporting on "60 Minutes" was something I always anxiously looked forward to. I had no idea he was so ill.

RIP, Mr. Bradley. You will most certainly be missed.

[MuseRider]

30. Oh this makes me really sad.

I always loved him. Just something about him seemed gentle and understanding. RIP Mr. Bradley.

Oh man, this is so sad.

[brook]

31. Yes. That's it.

"Gentle and understanding". That's how he struck me as well. A real human being and wonderful journalist. Not one bit of the "Hey! Look at me" syndrome that infects so much of the air-head news media today.

RIP, Mr. Bradley. Thank you for your well-lived, too short life. :cry:
