- ANDY ROONEY SLAMS KURT COBAIN ON TV
-
- In commentary Andy Rooney, of 60 Minutes, commented on the suicide of
- Kurt Cobain, the famed "grunge rocker." Rooney said that he knew the world
- was passing him by because a person had died with great publicity whom he
- had never even heard, and that he had no idea what "grunge rock" was.
- Rooney continued by looking at a picture of Cobain and commenting about
- the holes in Cobain's jeans sayung that it made him suspicious because he
- doubted that the man had ever worked hard enough in his life to get holes in
- his jeans, and he bet that he had 20 more just like it in his closet.
- We, as journalists, have learned that we must first, research a subject
- before we write about it. As for ripped jeans, they are, in a sense, the
- same thing as the tie and suit that Rooney wears while giving his commentary.
- What a person wears reflects themselves. Rooney would not wear ripped jeans
- on 60 Minutes as Cobain would probablly not have worn a suit and tie on
- stage. We would bet that Rooney has 20 more suits in his closet.
- Rooney quoted a girl who said that Cobain opened the worlds eyes to
- the problems that the youth face. Rooney said that he did not know what all
- the young people were "whinning" about because they had never been through
- World War or Depression and that he would trade places with us anyday.
- Though our generation is lacking in not having lived during a World War
- (and we regret it), we have watched our loved ones die in many military
- conflicts. Every day students are killed on their way to school, and we have
- many growing problems, such as AIDS, drugs, violence, teenage pregnancy, and
- physical sexual abuse. There are a number of young people who would love to
- trade places with Rooney, do his commentary and make the money he makes. How
- can a man be as successful and intelligent as Rooney but be so ignorant to
- the problems that not only plague or generation but also his. Is he so
- socially blind that he believes young people do not have serious problems?
- Rooney finished by reading an obituary of a Harvard professor in his
- late eighties who had died of natural causes and suggested that we should
- save our tears for the professor rather than Cobain. This editorial was not
- written for that fact that Rooney expressed his opinion about Cobain (though
- we think his view is incorrect), but rather it was written to point out other
- obvious problems Rooney made in his commentary. All he succeeded in was
- alienating and angering his younger audience and pointing out yet another
- problem that young people have always felt they have had, being misunderstood
- by the older generation. We will shed our tears for whom we please.
