'“60 Minutes” will give its late correspondent Ed Bradley a send-off tonight with an hour-long tribute that features interviews with close friends and a solo by jazz musician Wynton Marsalis.'

Sounds nice, TeTe, but I must confess that the main reason I'm responding is to send that thread that needs to die down to the second page. }( }( No offense intended.

I AM SO INSULTED!!!

Just kidding! It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about, and when I got it, I just cracked up! I totally understand what you're doing.

Go ahead, use me -- I'm just a means to an end, Nancy!

I tried to post on any thread that looked interesting that was BELOW the dreaded thread, and it worked for a while, but I give up now. I don't know why I want that thread to be gone. It's just annoying me for some reason. Thanks for understanding TeTe!

Well, to just ignore the other thread....I thought the tribute to Ed Bradley was wonderful and heartfelt. When Jimmy Buffett teared up so did I! I was just so shocked when EB died...had no idea, of course, that he even had leukemia...which just made his death more of a shock. Anyway, he just seemed like such a caring man and was a wonderful journalist.

I didn't know it was going to be on, I just tuned in hopefully thinking they would air a tribute. It was wonderful - I always liked him, and long remember his interview with Lena Horne - a masterpiece! He was SO cool!

I definitely got teary-eyed a few times during the tribute. His photographer when he was in Vietnam and Cambodia just broke my heart, and, yes, Jimmy Buffet seemed like he was having a hard time through it...but I'm glad they told some of those stories. He seemed like a great guy who had a great life, lived it to its fullest, and never forgot where he came from.

The Mohammad Ali and Lena Horne interviews were priceless, as was the last one I saw, which was Tiger Woods, just a few months ago.

He will surely be missed.
