Dick Cavett

Very enjoyable. Like a long lunch with an old friend who never runs out of stories. What is it with these mid-west Nebraskans who love to chat? They should get there own talk shows...make something of themselves.

I need to stop listening if I am to continue to admire Dick Cavett as a talk show host. I was expecting mostly reflections of the characters he's met throughout his career, but after getting through the first disc, almost all of his musings are on his dislike of the Bush administration and misuse of the English language. We jive politically, but boy howdy is he just coming off like a crotchety, condescending old man.

A walk down memory lane, revisiting people who mesmerized in the past, so many of whom are gone.
I do love articulate people and some of these columns touched on things I have been curious about myself and others were takes on things I have never cared about at all like fireworks and magic.

A trip down memory lane to all the late night television shows filled with marvelous people. They don't make them like that anymore. Time to reflect on people long gone who seemed forever while they were with us.
