60 Minutes' Ed Bradley has died

I heard earlier today that he was scheduled to host a Jazz at Lincoln Center program next Monday. Naturally, they're scrambling around now looking for a replacement.
I would love to see his interview with Ms. Lena Horne.

Aside from his voice, stature, intelligence, warmth, humor and talent as a journalist- I always liked his overbite. It just added that little bit of humanness to someone who was otherwise, at least outwardly, an almost perfect specimen of maleness. I also loved the way he threw his head back when he laughed.

What a wonderful human being. Another reason for me to hope there's a heaven. Someone like Ed Bradley deserves another lifetime.

Isn't 65 years of age, too young to die?
