Mike Tyson Ruminates, Revelator Quotes



Mike Tyson says seeing himself interviewed that he was frightened by that guy he once was. 

"I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off." 

Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.

Everybody's got plans... until they get hit.

I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.

As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.

I just want to conquer people and their souls.

I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.

God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.


I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.


 “Everybody thinks this is a tough man's sport. 

“When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I've lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.” 

I'm just a dark guy from a den of iniquity. A dark shadowy figure from the bowels of iniquity. I wish I could be Mike who gets an endorsement deal.


 
“Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.” 


“The boxing's the easy part. When you get into the ring to fight, that's the vacation.


'Fear is the greatest obstacle to learning. But fear is your best friend. Fear is ... 
  

"Don't be surprised if I behave like a savage. I am a savage." 



"One minute I'm robbing a dope house. Next minute I'm the youngest heavyweight champion of the world. I'm only 20, 19, with a lot of money. Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb child who's being abused and robbed by lawyers. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks he's someone. Then you tell me I should be responsible."

Since I've Laid My Burdens Down Mississippi John Hurt


Since I've Laid My Burdens Down
Mississippi John Hurt

Pictures are from the Library of Congress, American Memory Project and are of various people and places in Mississippi. The dates range from 1935 - 1945.

Mississippi John Hurt had two albums of very limited success in 1928. He was later "rediscovered" in the sixties and put out or took part in a number of albums and small concerts. I think he is the sound of grace and could listen to his sing and play all day.

There's such a huge selection of music on YouTube that Ranch Radio tends to focus on the rare or hard to find tunes.  

But last night we got a request for two classics - In The Jailhouse Now and Wildwood Flower.  

Here are the original versions of these tunes by Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family.  

Both tunes were recorded in Camden on Feb. 15, 1928 and May 10, 1928, respectively.
