Quincy Jones comes to talk with Charlie Rose about a new autobiographical album. He is seventy- years and the book he says, has two pages for each year. He had published a previous autobiography and this looks more like a commemorative picture- book celebratory work. Jones talks about his being orphaned early,his admiration for his polylingual real mother, his problematic relationship with his step-mother, his supportive father who was a carpenter for the 'Chicago black Mob ' of that day, the Jones Brothers.He talks about his meeting Ray Charles when they were both in their teens and learning much about arranging from him. He also talks about his later work, work he most loved with Count Basie and Sinatra. He is a world- traveler, an ambassador of U.S. culture to the world. He says the doctors of the Swedish Institute with which he has connected gave him the formula , of 'Love, live, laugh, give' as way of keeping in good health. Jones is upbeat in talking about the Obama Presidency, and about his own future projects. He also advocates a Ministry of the Arts and Culture for the United States. A man of great accomplishment and one skilled not only in playing the trumpet but also in blowing his own horn.
In the Auto- Bailout segment we learn the Bush Administration has taken it upon itself, now that the Congress has refused to go along with the bailout plan, to provide the funds which would prevent the Industry from having to file Chapter 11. Then the future would be open to meeting the test of competition through among other things creating new fuel- efficient attractive models.
