I was in middle school. All the cool kids sang all the commercials on television. They argued with some authority about who was best, The Beatles or The Stones. And the boys passionately debated who was going to win the fight.
I sat quietly on the sidelines during these discussions, never having heard of the Frito Bandito, not knowing who The Rolling Stones were and not particular caring about the fight.
But… what a man he was. R.I.P., Mohammed Ali.
