Celebrated 60 Minutes commentator and Tribune Media Services syndicated columnist, died last week. The tributes were many, but Rooney was more Archie Bunker than, well, the avuncular Andy Rooney described in so many stories. Let’s take a look.
1. On the suicide of Kurt Cobain.
–
2. On his utter disconnect with popular culture.
–
3. On the word “Negro.”
–
4. On sexual harassment.
–
5. On “self-induced” ills such as AIDS.
–
Comments welcome.
