i have to start with ray charles. >> ray was like my brother from another mother.ame into the town in florida. he had sight until he was six. he had chickenpox and scratched his eyes when he was in florida. he went to the white house, they wouldn't let him in. when he got to the black house, he was blind. he was like 100 years older than me. he was living at home. i was 14. he had his own apartment, two pair of shoes, two pair of suits, two girlfriends, a record player then and everything. ray was very independent. his mother taught him to not be like with the canes and the dogs. ray would go shopping on his own, whatever. the streets, cross the lights. i never could figure out how he could do that. the only time ray got blind was when there pr pretty girls around. stevie does the same thing today. i bust him all the time. you get all blind, man. >> part of their rap, man. >> you meet my girlfriend. they are beautiful, though. we had the time of our life man. >> what about frank sinatra? >> oh, please, man, that's my brother, another brother. i was working in paris

in that sense, there is a shift from john coltrane and the ray charles and a wreath of franklin intohe bubble gum music that is predominant. there is a shift. we have a number of folks but when we talk about young people to make this change, if you're not talking but a willingness to serve, you're going to get bought out. you will not be a long-distance runner. you'll be so obsessed with instant success and superficial status that you will make your grandmother week from the grave. -- weep from the grave. she will want you to have earned great as, not quick success. she doesn't care about what your position is or how big your crib is. that is a different sensibility. that institution we have to keep alive. we are still agreeing on this. >> how about a round of applause for this great panel. this has been a wonderful conversation we will continue throughout the entire here. if you missed any part of it, visit our website at pbs.org. poverty is not just an issue here but around the world. it is because of that reality we will be talking tomorrow night in l.a. for the first of two night

. >> reporter: also excited was ray charles, actor from the good wife. as game time approached, bars filled up with a sea of purple. although customers good for -- although customers good for the bar owners. >> look at those guys, they're drinking like fish. it's fantastic. >> joe flacco is fantastic. i'm wacco for flacco. >> ed reed, ed reed no doubt. our defense had to show it. >> reporter: fans immediately set their sights on a win. >> flacco is going to go into new england and take over that town. >> tom brady, we're coming for you. we're coming to foxboro. >> not only are the fans excited for the game next week but a lot of the businesses are excited as well. because since the teams are playing away, a lot of these businesses know they're going to be raking in the bucks next week with everyone walking in to watch the patriots. >> it was crazy this afternoon, derek. >> baltimore is now headed to new england in a play off face off with the patriots next summer. the winner will advance to the super bowl. you can watch that game right here that starts a

when you look at louis armstrong, ray charles, cocker, all the great singers that had these sounds, i was in great company. i mean, look at what they did. i do not profess to have their gift. i certainly have their sound. my problem was i did not come from any specific school of musical tradition. i had to make a mime the repertoire. i had to make a pool was. -- i had to make my repertoire. i had to make who i was. the call me a folksinger and i am not too sure. i once asked, what is a folk singer? i never heard a horse sing. i went about my life approaching is it not from the point of view of a singer but an actor. that is how i first started to sing. i had a part, it was required to sing and i found out how to approach it from the point of view and i did it. it was the rewards that came from that practice. everything at when actor -- after was based on how i approached a song as an actor. not hall my musical instrument was. what i delighted in was so many people found what i did to be so attractive. and it requires that you see me in the theater as opposed to hearing me on the recor

we have ray charles with the red cross. were telling me that you have 100 people signed up, that is not going to be enough to meet your goal today. >> absolutely not. the goal is 260. in order to leave with 260 units, we need to have at least -- 250 and, an, and above. >> reporter: so there are 150 people out there now. within the sound of our voices who need to get in their cars and drive and come in, the whole process takes what? >> from start to finish one hour. the actual blood donation process takes about 10 to 15 minutes. but the em-- entire process is an hour. >> reporter: it is faster if you are in the system? >> no. >> reporter: they have to go through anything, incase anything has changed. the interesting thing, you said that you need 150. so, you need 250 total, to get 216. because people are kicked out for various reasons. >> a lot of different reasons. >> reporter: right. some are being health and their background. others might be a country that they have been in. >> yes. travel, tattooed. you know if you got a

chuckie is the vodoo manifestation of charles lee ray who after being mortally wounded seeks refuge in a store and transfers his soul into a doll. while newt in fact looks like the fat doll toy, he does not look anything like the actor who played charles lee ray. it would be an odd casting. >> at least you are not over thinking it too much. by the way, a shout out to don imus. >> i'm sorry for saying that don imus is completely wrong. you are cool. however, bernard, you also said that rick santorum's last name begins with an s and ends with an m and he should put on a leather mask and still in a ball gag. >> you like that, right? >> of course i like that on a personal level. but santorum advocates government intervention in the bedroom to prevent sodomy. he is likening homosexuality to sex and robots. >> it actually ties in with my bachmann theory. if you were watching, say one thing and do another kind of -- you know what i mean? >> i know exactly what you mean. i think that does have something to do with why michele bachmann left the race. >> can i jump in here for protection purpose

ray lahood is being barred from leaving there. what about this, and the situation in egypt. charles? >> puzzling.ion is the military thinks the future is in alliance with the islamist who won huge majorities in the parliament. the pesky liberal urbanites who started the revolution that get less than 10% of the vote are an irritant because those guys go after the street and demonstrate for a quicker process whereas the islamists are patient and willing to share power with the military so they are trying to crack down on the liberals and the americans and others who help them. otherwise it makes no sense at all. >> bret: liz, thousands converged on tahrir square to mark the one-year anniversary of that day of rage that pushed hosni mubarak out. >> yeah. i mean, i think all of this just emphasizes the fact that this is still an ongoing story. we have don't know yet where the arab spring is taking us. what kind of future it's going to unfold there. i would just say that this particular story i think has just highlighted for many americans the fact that we are giving $1.3 billion in aid to egypt every

ray, again, i want to begin with you. we should mention charles allison jr.r of that big rig has plunged off the bridge. he's in fiery action below and that bmw is dangling from the side of the bridge. this is the scene that you arrived to, what was your first priority? >> well, first priority is life safety. that's for the firefighters as well as the occupants in the car. this was a complex situation with three in one. you mentioned the fire and tractor trailer. we have the vehicle with its occupants dangling on the bridge. and a hazardous material release downstream. very difficult to manage. and first of all, just the team work, the members standing behind me, they're all spectacular in what they do. and the courage, their abilities and skill. it all came together. in that moment, and we focused on rescuing those inside the trapped vehicle. >> again, these are staggering pictures to see. greg knuckles, you're actually leaning over the railing. looking over the car. you're talking to the mother and to sage, the 10-year-old daughter. kelli groves' feet actua
