They’re gone. Dead. It’s all over. Period. Westbrook Pegler spake, “My hates have always occupied my mind much more actively and have given greater spiritual satisfactions than my friendships.” He joined the ranks of Gore Vidal as the lovable misanthrope. I loved those guys. An HBO doc airing tomorrow attempts “to bring New York columnists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill’s courageous writing to life, celebrating the acclaimed journalists and the city they loved.” And a city that loved them. A city and time that honored journalists, writers and the scotch-swilling gin joint denizens and hard scrabble giants whose kind is forever lost. Whose shoes will never be filled. In this BuzzFeed era of media self-immolation, they are done and finished. I am sad and this is my encomium.
