Rating: Summary: Bleh! Review: Well, if you're really interested in one man's opinion of where we are and where we are going, I suppose you might want to read this book. I made that mistake.Dan Rather shows us all the stereotypical crap that comes from people his age. You know, all about how back in the day... Things were sooo much better. Get over it. Things are different. Who is Dan Rather to say they are worse? Its the age old story about the man who walked 3 miles each way to school, uphill both ways, and probably barefoot too.
Rating: Summary: Shallow and Predictable Review: With all due respect to a man who has had a great career on television, I frankly am shocked at this "book". It amazes me how little "in touch" the author is with the world he has been reporting about all these years.The "Love Me Tender" Elvis story is corny and just plain silly. The "When Their Sixty-four" story is not only stupid, it clearly shows that Dan completely missed a generation. By the way, when WAS the last time Bob Dylan revised his thought "never trust anyone over thirty"? Dan, are you sure it was Dylan who said that?

Rating: Summary: Dan Blather, A Very Strange Man Review: You don't have to be a Republican to wonder why Dan Rather covered up evidence that President Clinton raped Juanita Broadrick especially since Mr. Rather led the fight against Clarence Thomas for his alleged dirty joke. Either Mr. Rather is a moral monster, who finds a black man's joke to be worse than a white man's rape, or he is a total idiot. Evidence of the latter proposition can be found in this book. There are few paragraphs more than two sentences long. What he has to say is not original and is expressed in a very pedestrian manner. It's amusing for awhile to read the first few lines of one of his "essays" and then write the rest of the piece yourself. This could be written by a computer which has been programmed on the Dick and Jane series. But even THAT computer would have been offended by the President's rape.
