Here's footage from Earth Day 2006, and a radio stastion interviews Walter Cronkite after he plays drums with Mickey Hart and some of the guys from Phish. Walter was my very first HERO! Godspeed, Uncle Walter...

Walter Cronkite was unique, that's for sure.

How cool. How very wonderful.

2. I vaguely recall some connection between Cronkite and Jimmy Buffett, too.

3. Uncle Walter might have had a dose of something...

He was in the groove...

I love that! My first hero was Walter Cronkite... I was in first grade when JFK was killed. Walter Cronkite was the voice of reason. MLK's assassination, Walter Cronkite was there.

But, the fact that mankind has 13 humans of many nations in orbit at this moment, and with the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing must make Walter Cronkite smile right now...

on edit: And the LRO has such wonderful photos of the Apollo landing sites... Finally killing the silly arguement that the Moon landings were fake.

And that's the way it is, Saturday, July 18th, 2 thousand and 9...
