- This is funny. Carradine is shit, sorry. His T'ai Chi video makes me want to
- cry because I can't fathom why this aging hippy would want to humiliate
- himself so deeply at this point in his life.

-
- Also interesting--because of prejudice, exposure to other things, etc. etc., I
- had some to dismiss Bruce Lee as a movie star myself, until I met Barry
- Perrino. Although I don't abide by his absolute worship of the man, I do
- understand his enthusiasm. Barry met Bruce Lee and studied with one of Lee's
- original students. If Barry's instruction is anything like Bruce Lee, then
- my admiration for Lee is totally rekindled.
-
- Carradine is a big fake though--no kidding.
