I remember James Brown talking with Muhammad Ali in the film
When We Were Kings and one of them said "I got ants in my pants and I gotta dance" . . . I think it was JB. Wait, I just watched the trailer and they used it . . . it was Ali, but what you don't see in the trailer is that he said it to JB.

Soul Power is the musical part of the same event . . . I believe the Foreman-Ali fight took place 6 weeks later to allow Foreman's eye injury to heal. Not sure how he got hurt before the fight, but the show must go on, so it did . . .

My, how things have changed since then... JB has left us and Ali doesn't look like he has much life left... Did anyone see him at the Presidential inauguration? He looked like death warmed over. And I don't mean that as an insult, Ali looked to be in really bad shape.... A very far cry from what I just saw from Woof's post.

I'm very saddened by this.... Looks like a cool movie/documentry, though... I'd like to check this out. Never saw "When we were kings".

I know that Ali has parkinsons disease.

Yeah, Woody but it's REALLY bad, now. At the inaugural, he was slumped over forward when walking, he had on a large hat and his face I couldn't recognize. I didn't even know it was Ali until the reporter said it... Here's a picture of him at the inaugural... He actually looks better here.
