34 Years ago...

Bruce Lee (李小龍) passed away.

My feelings feelings for Bruce are pretty well known. Heck, we have a category of just Bruce Lee on the right hand side. To keep it brief Bruce had a profound impact on my life. My Bruce Medicom review sums it up decently so I won't go into it again. However it would be a great time to reflect on his words (or you can pop-in a movie of his whichever you prefer. We all reflect in our own way).

Bruce had many quotes but this one is my favorite:

"the word 'superstar' really turns me off, and I'll tell you why because the word 'star', man.. is an illusion. It's something what the public call you."

Yep dude got it, that's why he was awesome.

Anyway other than being the cause of many, many nunchaku accidents all over the world, his influence is being felt to this very day whether its in movies or the booming popularity of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Bruce left a huge impact on around the world, without a doubt.

Below is a nice little gem of a clip. It's the "lost" interview of Bruce Lee. A must see for every Bruce fan.

Anyway, it's Friday night in July, get out of here and enjoy the summer. I'm sure Bruce would have wanted it that way (and who am I to question him?)


November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973
