I MISS ANDY!
It is a nice tribute to Andy Rooney - however it is not something that you set down to and watch both discs on the same day. We watch it mainly on Sunday nights after 60 Minutes just to get our A R Fix!!!!
Andy Rooney - A Modern Philosopher
About a decade ago, I began tuning in to "60 Minutes" just to get Andy Rooney's wisdom of the week. He had a solution for everything - why shoelaces are the way they are. The logic of how many peanuts are packaged and marketed in a can. I took notes on his evaluation of "lemon-enhanced" consumer products that actually have no lemon.
Without Andy, I would never have known that automotive companies have design teams that focus on the sound of a car door closing, and the sound of a car's horn.
To me, Andy was the leader who taught us to "read between the lines" of life experience and exposure. I now diligently read labels because of Andy.
Andy was a brilliant writer, correspondent and un-intentional educator of American cultural literacy. I will always miss him.
As video collections go, I would add this DVD set to the bookshelf of classics like Plato, Homer and Socrates. Well, I just did that.
I'll probably watch this DVD...
The Best of Andy Rooney
A very nice selection of Andy's comments on two DVDs from CBS Television available from Amazon.He is dearly missed on 60 minutes!
