I'm not saying this is the Worst Thing In The World, but as a fan of intelligent talk on television, I musically mourn the loss of Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. I didn't always agree with him, but I'd fight to the death for his right to be one smart man and compelling wiseass. Then again, it's hard to really imagine this man being silenced for too long.

"Countdown" is a good take on where Keith sits in his post break-up media relationship.
Another Buckingham composition fits the entire media mess even better:
"Murrow Turning Over In His Grave"
Good People by John Jackson
Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
It is very, very appropriate for Keith Oldbermann. Fanned (#2) and faved.
Talk To Me - Chris Isaak
Information - The Rainmakers
Prime Time - Alan Parsons Project
You Run Your Mouth and I'll Run My Business Brother - Louis Jordan (via Joe Jackson)

Good Night and Good Luck.
Thank you for that flashback -- loved them.
Good luck to you too

I think, personally, that because of the recent shotng - that MSNBC wants tone things down-
in the name of "civility" dunno - just my hunch 80% I am right.
"There ain't no Midnight train" Buddy Guy
"Stay" Jackson Browne

Well I was sitting down talking to myself again
I pick up the phone you're on the other end
Sometimes to talk to you is all I need
To make me feel at home again
We can talk away the time like it was yesterday
You make me feel like I feel when I sit down and play
And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration
And you put down the phone I feel so alone
Sometimes I just can't stand it
But it's all worthwhile when I see that smile
I feel like I'm up a mile high
We'll these past few weeks I've had time to remember
Those times we spent together
The days we just decided to stay inside
To be with one another
And those times they mean so much to me
And you have to know how much you mean to me
And I really really want you to be with me
Cause I love you
Just call me inspiration
mr Olbermann is an inspiration to me & those who watched his show...
his passion and love for his country were felt with every word.even though he come off as the Angry Ol' Man.he still knew what mattered most.I wish him the best of luck...
