studs terkel - RIP
Studs Terkel passed at 96.
Sometimes he irritated me, but for the most part, studs was a great interviewer. you felt like a conversation was happening but you were learning depth and color at the same time.
Regardless of what you think about him or his politics, he has done wonders for painting a picture of what America is as a country and as a people.
And damnit, that was radio at its best - a use of the airwaves that made the public better by making it know itself.
Learned from the obit: law degree from the U of C! (knew he had an undergrad degree from there, but had no clue he studied law there too)
