RIP Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Yeah, apparently he did not disclose how sick he was. This is very sad, and a huge loss in quality television journalism. RIP I felt like something was off the last few interviews of his I'd seen. He seemed frail & very thin but I had no idea. So sad to hear this, the man had a lot of grace. | |

Superstar journalist. A true warrior who's mold was broken long ago. It's painful to watch the state of American journalism today and then lose people like Bradley, Jennings, Hunter Thompson and (to some extent) Dan Rather just when we need them the most.
Rest in peace Mr. bradley. You will be sorely missed. | |

I noticed the same thing, but not so much on 60min, and even commented to my wife about it. I think he was being interviewed by Bill Maher (or maybe Chris Rock, which would date it a few years) but he did seem "off" and suddenly old right in front of my eyes. He look drained. | |

Anyone see his piece on the Emmitt Till lynching? Powerful stuff, and very chilling. | |

Now, that is something I want to see. I remember watching clips of him crying with his arm wounded from a Vietnam war coverage. It was the 1st time I ever saw a TV reporter(and a male reporter @ that) crying,,,it wasn't insincere either. | |

The Lena Horne & Tiger Woods interviews were classic. I know CBS wouldn't do it, but I wish they'd put his best interviews on DVD. | |

TV Land used to run classic celebrity interviews from 60 Minutes, though I'm not sure if they still do or if either ofr these were on there. "The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life. " -- Edith Massey in Female Trouble | |
