More than a decade ago, I interviewed Andy Rooney for Rolling Stone, and in person, the man did not disappoint. He struck me as quick witted, wonderfully grouchy and magnificently himself. Andy Rooney was also - lest we forget - a tremendous writer who succeeded in the worlds of radio and television broadcasting because he found a voice that eventually was all his own. So now that the clock has ticked down for this legend, here's a playlist for a "Sixty Minute Man." Besides that song, the first one that came to mind this morning when I heard Andy Rooney was gone was "Tell It Like It Is" -- a song beloved by Andy Rooney's longtime "60 Minutes" colleague Ed Bradley. I just want to take a few minutes to say that Andy Rooney spent a lifetime telling it like it is -- or at least what it was like to him -- and that should always be one definition for a life well lived.
