medjuck Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I was just glancing at his autobiography in a book store and discovered that he got his first singing gig at The Royal Roost through his friendship with Lester Young. his first accompanist was Al Haig. He's 80 years old and fell asleep waiting for an interview. Early morning one maybe. What's amazing is he even looks pretty good when he's asleep. As to the nasty comments about him: you may not agree with his politics but he's done a lot more for other people during his life than I suspect most of us have.

I've heard his bullshit many times, Valerie. Anyone who expresses such hatred against black conservatives (and in racial terms like "house negro") is beneath contempt. As for your "very reliable sources" why would he close his eyes then? He's done too many of these interviews to count, you don't watch the guy in the studio for a signal? He didn't think to turn up his hearing aid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't understand why the cameraman didn't wake him up a minute ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't understand why the cameraman didn't wake him up a minute ahead of time. because everything is done through the headset and, after that, he would have been on camera nudging him. he did not look like he was sleeping to me. just eyes closed, perhaps "meditating". whatever it was, i'm sure everyone will survive it. he is an American Treasure!
