Tim Russert was the Epitome of Strong American Values
If you try to find any one person in America and ask who is the perfect husband, father, son, boss, employee, political analyst, journalist, author, baseball fan, civic leader, man of faith, friend, and colleague, the only name that would come to mind is Tim Russert. Time Magazine namedSadly, Tim's almost tearful friend and colleague, Tom Brokaw, announced the news of Tim Russert's death at 3:40 p.m. on Friday, June 13th. The tragic news of Tim Russert's shocking sudden death ripped our hearts out, as we could not imagine the intense grief that the family and close friends of Tim Russert must be experiencing. How do you cope with losing a person who represented all that is good in our American values system?
Tim Russert loved Bruce Springsteen and it is no wonder why. Both men rose from the streets of blue collar America but never forgot what that means and the pride in the people they grew up around. I am also a huge Bruce Springsteen fan so I thought the best memorial to Tim Russert is to build an MP3 playlist of Bruce Springsteen music video performances from YouTube. (click hear to view the music video Tribute to Tim Russert: Bruce Springsteen Songs)
The Bruce Springsteen MP3 playlist for my memorial to Tim Russert includes these songs:
Paradise- a song about feeling someone after they have passed like the movie, Ghost
My Father's House - a song about respecting where you came from just as Tim did
You're Missing - a beautiful song written after 9/11
The Promised Land - what Tim always thought about Buffalo, NY and America
Born to Run - Unplugged - a beautiful song version that describes Tim's passion for life
I'm On Fire - a Bruce Springsteen classic that represents Tim Russert's career
Roll of the Dice - one never knows how it will all turn out
The Rising - the famous album and hit song after 9/11
Lonesome Day - how the world felt on June 13, 2008
Long Walk Home - Tim Russert: you could not have lived a better life. Thank you for bringing your spirit, passion, and talent into each of our homes.

According to Bruce Springsteen, United States is engaging in anti American activity since President Bush came to office. He says there are too many things he had seen in the last six years to affirm his beliefs.

Ya know things are getting strange when a conservative has to give Hillary Clinton credit. While watching Tim Russert's fiasco of an interview, I think he came up short on the "I gotcha" plan.
