Jerry Lee Lewis 24 Hours
AGAIN! BEST JERRY LEE CLIP/INTERVIEW AROUND. I'll paste up my old description when I find it. He talks about "Catch My Soul" and generally says some really arrogant great Jerry Lee shit. Dick West, his bodyguard appears. It's filmed in Glasgow, Scotland. He stands on the piana, crowd goes nuts. Then the very posh-accented BBC reporter begins commentary interspersed with the outrageous Killer quotes. I don't find it on YouTube since mine went down, so here it is again for those of you who missed it the first time, or, like me, missed being able to watch it again.

The Power of The Way
This video has been edited from the original "Nodan Tapes". The karateka believed his power came from a mastery of The Five Principles of "centering" technique. Already in his late fifties at the time of filming, his suspended, horizontal board breaks were intended to illustrate the advantages of sound technique over pure physical prowess. His breaking demonstrations were uniquely characterized by their practical applications to real street situations. The "no dan" character served several purposes for the karateka. First, he said, "humility finds a refuge in anonymity". Second, the character was a parody of his own misguided quest to become a "Great" martial arts master. Third, it was a commentary on our contemporary preoccupation with belt rankings. His demonstrations are authentic, and the message describes his actual experience in the martial arts.
