I'm always bitching and moaning and cynical about commercial television produced by "news departments". But there's one little gem in an ocean of floating turds.

It's actually not strictly "news" but it is produced by a commercial television network "news department".  
If television was a newspaper,  CBS Sunday Morning would be located in the "feature" section.  But it does the same wonderful treatments of news events,  news personalities,  entertainment and arts,  culture,  history,  sports and sports figures and all the rest.

This past Sunday's installment had many really interesting segments.
It falls into the category of what is referred to as a "tv magazine" show.  An hour and a half of five to eight minute segments.  And most all of them are the best television you can find.

Here were two.  And both are equally compelling.

If you think being 87 years old has to be a drag.  Has to be disconnected from the rest of society.  Has to have old ideas that the rest of the population is no longer interested in.  Then when you watch this you've got another think a comin.

And this one is so good.  Johnny Cash's New Yorker daughter reconnecting to her southern roots.  Any southerner who is not proud of this needs to get out of our region of the country and go live somewhere else.

For anyone who watched the Roseanne Cash segment and saw mention of the grave of Robert Johnson,  you may not be familiar with the name or why Cash calls him "the master".
Robert Johnson is one of the two or three inventors of Mississippi delta blues music.  Which was the forerunner of all blues music.    In music circles, he has now become a legend of almost unequalled proportions.  Eric Clapton calls Johnson "the most important blues singer who ever lived".
