I’m a huge fan of combat sports. Back in the day I’d occasionally post about fights here at Insomnia, but since the blog has zeroed-in on counterculture content, only an exceptional fighter might make an appearance.

Exceptional is one of the first words one might use to describe Ali’s truly beautiful expression of himself in martial arts as well as his iconoclastic role as an antiwar protester and a newly-converted member of the Nation of Islam in the 1960′s.
I could talk for hours about Ali’s jab or his dance-like defense, but for this illuminated tablet glowing before you we’ll let Ali talk for himself about race, god, war, class and fighting in the ring and out…
Stay Awake!
