Well, how remiss of me to miss the birthday of The Great Man Himself and, more importantly, the chance to get into my blog that fact that I once photographed him and got his autograph! (Oh, have I mentioned that before?) The poor guy was so stricken with Parkinson's that it took him an age to sign my book but, like the trooper he is, he stuck with it and even added the date at the bottom. Now, I'm not taking anything away from the guy (Jeez! I wouldn't dare!) but isn't it funny how we celebrate his 'skill', which was basically the ability to pound the living daylights out of any schmuck that got into a boxing ring with him? Funny old world....
