Weeping - CBS Tribute to Ed Bradley

What a cool guy.

So gifted, so versatile, so caring - lived a rich life -- cut way too short.

1. Very nicely done!

I had no idea his close friends included Jimmy Buffett and Hunter S. Thompson! From henceforth "That's cool!" should be "That's Ed!"

2. Got to me a couple of times as well

60 minutes and Bradley have been an important part of my life & the history of the US for that matter. He was a really cool down to earth guy - I can't believe he's gone :cry:
