Muhammad Ali

The man is now in a very bad way but it is actually very hard to find a picture of him online which actually shows the extent of his poor conditions, I seen a picture of Ali in The Daily Express, holding a zimmer frame, look withered and world weary and frsgile like my own Grandfather. It is a damn shame to see the consequence of age and decay…a bitter Irony that once such a light footed, nibble athlete should eventually degenerate and find it never impossible to move with any comfort. It is intensely sad…through this we can also acknowledge our own fate…witness how the vices or virtues of our present may well become the aliments and regrets of the past…

Can anyone source out a picture of the aging Ali? I mean recently. As he really looks…decrepit and ghosted. Courageous nonetheless…

from Dan Bern - Tiger Woods

Well, it ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
Mohammed Ali said that
Back when he was a young man
Back when he was Casius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring
