Parts Unknown was the show that made CNN more than a news organization. The creator and star of the show died today in France. Anthony Bourdain was 61.
What everyone who watched his show agreed unequivocally was why? Why did he of all people decide to end his life? This unfortunately highlights the fact that there are and always will be parts unknown about people's lives. And we are better off not judging.
His show was one of my all time favorite as I may have written in prior blogs and this takes my favorite TV personality count down to 1. Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry also a New Yorker is living out his life doing small projects but not getting into the spotlight for any of the wrong reasons. I sincerely hope he continues to live his life all the way till biology naturally intervenes.
Bourdain was able to navigate through many societies and cultures and highest seats of power including his famous Bun Cha eating episode with Barack Obama in Vietnam. He could I think do that in part because he was not considered a threat by the hosts. He was a foodie who was here to film food. Let him in. Welcome him. He took that immense opportunity to shine a light on the plight and ways of life of the world including their joys and sorrow for all of us to learn from and enjoy! Bravo!
