His U2 segment on "60 Minutes" last year was beyond wonderful, and he had the gift of being able to report on hard news and lighter pieces like the U2 profile and do a fantastic job on each.

I'll always remember him as sipping cappucino underneath the Vertigo stage with Adam Clayton.

RIP.

Bye Mr Bradley, thank you for your work. RIP.
Or perhaps awaking into an alternate dimension America where full first-class citizenship.has been achieved for all Americans.

He was once on one of my favorite free-form DJ's shows, because besides the DJ talking about his work , they also BOTH were big fans of The Neville Brothers.

Among his other fine attributes, he had the balls to wear an earring when no one else did. He had style like no other news anchor.
