Rivernuggets Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 "I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn't realize they thought," Rooney once said. "And they say, `Hey, yeah!' And they like that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yes.....he was old. He was a contributor all the way: I enjoyed his commentaries over the 40+ years that I can remember him on broadcast TV. He always motivated or humored - which is definitely something to admire. It feels like we need that even more nowadays with today's news services: I remember when the film Network was so entertaining because it was so absurd. Howard Beale's nightmare has apparently come to pass. The world seems a little less with Mr. Rooney's passing. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Before Andy started doing his 60-Minutes pieces in 87' there was a piece called Point-Counterpoint. Gues they chucked that one because CBS only has ONE opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 My office is just as messy as his and I'll carefully maintain it that way in tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 "I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to you." "If dogs could talk it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one." "The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." "People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe." "If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it."

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Before Andy started doing his 60-Minutes pieces in 87' there was a piece called Point-Counterpoint. I don't want to take away from Andy's passing (RIP - I enjoyed yoru work Andy and have watched 60 minutes for 30+ years). BUT I found the first Point-Counterpoint" clip (I remember this too): http://www.poptent.net/media/14416 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
