If you’re thinking that good old Andy Rooney should leave 60 Minutes, don’t get all excited that he’s now 91-years-old and will retire soon. Andy says he’ll quit his job when he’s dead.
I get that. Yeah, I guess you do have to quit at that point.
I don’t watch television on a regular basis but I do go to YouTube on occasion to watch some of Andy’s television pieces. They’re still clever. They’re still smart.
What I like about Andy the most is his essays. After all these years, he’s still doing his column and he’s probably still one of the smartest essayists around.
I’ve e-mailed him about writing for CityBeat’s Living Out Loud column. He hasn’t answered me back. What a grump. Why is that?

I love Andy. I love he has his “few minutes” forever.
If you say Rooney writes good essays, I’ll take your word for it. As for T.V., he’s more than hard to take.
of course you like andy. u r both grumps 🙂
60 minutes has been part of my life since I was a child and that means Andy Rooney.
Now as an adult, I often visit my parents on Sunday and 60 minutes is always on when I arrive. My parents stop everything, conversation, preparing dinner, EVERYTHING when Andy ends the show. They love him to death.
Guess I do too. In an odd way, he’s been such a big part of my life. I’m glad he’s still hanging in there.
