..what
would make you christians [sic] think it is the thing to do? Why
not cite Movies or secular songs or Miscreant theolog
Nicolaitans?
[K and L may
remind the historians among us of Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo
Creed--eventually they became brothers-in-arms versus the Russians (partic
the boxer 'Drego', the massive Muscovite mauler who killed Apollo in an
exhibition while Rocky, Apollo's mgr, gripped the
towe
..Apollo started flopping, writhing on his back
on the mat like a trout outa water
..later Rocky,
to atone, fought Drego in honor of Apollo, and that Hollywood
bout paralleled a real one, one of the greatest moments in Am
sports history: the historic day that Joe Louis destroyed Hitler's
super man, Max Schmelling
FTR,
(like Rocky and Apollo) Max and JL (actually) became great! friends; e.g.,
Max, who lived to be ~92 y/o helped JLs family pay JLs burgeoning
(boxing related) medical bills (JL kinda went the way of Ali in his
retirement years)..check it out:) - g]
<<Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's
the reason for?
"Not I," says the referee,
"Don't point your
finger at me.
I could've stopped it in the eighth
An' maybe kept him
from his fate,
But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure,
At not gettin'
their money's worth.
It's too bad he had to go,
But there was a
pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you
can't blame me at all."
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the
reason for?
"Not us," says the angry crowd,
Whose screams
filled the arena loud.
"It's too bad he died that night
But we just
like to see a fight.
We didn't mean for him t' meet his death,
We just
meant to see some sweat,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't
us that made him fall.
No, you can't blame us at
all."
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the
reason for?
"Not me," says his manager,
Puffing on a big
cigar.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,
I always thought that he
was well.
It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead,
But if he was
sick, he should've said.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you
can't blame me at all."
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the
reason for?
"Not me," says the gambling man,
With his
ticket stub still in his hand.
"It wasn't me that knocked him down,
My
hands never touched him none.
I didn't commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I
put money on him to win.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you
can't blame me at all."
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the
reason for?
"Not me," says the boxing writer,
Pounding
print on his old typewriter,
Sayin', "Boxing ain't to blame,
There's
just as much danger in a football game."
Sayin', "Fist fighting is here
to stay,
It's just the old American way.
It wasn't me that made him
fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the
reason for?
"Not me," says the man whose fists
Laid him low
in a cloud of mist,
Who came here from Cuba's door
Where boxing ain't
allowed no more.
"I hit him, yes, it's true,
But that's what I am paid
to do.
Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'
It was destiny, it was
God's will."
