Thanks Alberto – ‘The Executioner’s Song’ is one of my favorite books. I’ll pick this one up for sure…

Also related to the ‘rumble in the jungle’ I humbly suggest a book from Norman Mailer, called ‘The Fight’, focused on the preparation of it on both Ali & Foreman camps & of course with a brilliant description of the fight itself.
Unfortunately no mention about the festival, but luckily you are there to complete the picture.
Thanks
Alberto

My May resolution is to comment on the blogs I love, but never show any appreciation too.

Pete, I ended up here while re-evaluating my love for Prince prior to seeing him live for the first time at the 02 in London last year. Since then I have loved much of the music you have introduced me to – so thanks for that.

and thanks in particular for this set from the master – I have been dancing round the office all afternoon with a colleague from Somalia who has never heard James Brown before – what an introduction!

Thanks again – all your work is much appreciated in Bristol, UK!

cheers,

Ben

For a beautiful song about Muhammad Ali, check out “Muhammad Ali (the Meaning of Christmas)” by Greg Trooper.

‘I am the greatest,’ he said with a grin. /’He was talking about you, not about him.’ “
