those later iterations volumes about holliday and the life.he went on to live but obscure how radical the song the singer originally had been that day in the studio. billie holiday, all of 24 years old, was jaunty, cocky, defiant, proud. there is no weeping nor histrionics. her tone was languorous, unflinching, raw yet smooth, youthful, yet worldly, spitting out reference to southern gallantry and fragrant magnolias. i even noticed the way, she said, sweet and fresh fresh. she radiated contempt rather than anger or grief. no longer would you have to go down to sheridan to hear strange fruit. there's now the record. this is about phonograph record, which is obsessed me for two days. samuel grafton, again, of the new york post, wrote. october 1939. it is called strange fruit and it will, even after the 10th hearing, make blink and hold on to your chair. even now as i think of it the short hair on the back of my neck tightens and. i want to hit somebody and i think. i know who it was. grafton went on a fantastically powerful piece of art. one whi

i'm thinking about doc holliday in the movie tombstone, the greatest gunfighter clearly past his primene fight left in him? on the us at the other side, paul, the modern-day pt barnum, 70 billion on social media, made tens of millions of dollars based on youtube videos and self-promotion. it's mismatched fight but it is entertaining and kudos to netflix for hosting this. it breaks the pay-per-view paradigm. neil: you got amazon, away from free tv, that's the way the world is going. >> it really is, going to the streaming platform makes the most sense. so many families have netflix and by not doing an add-on premium, the typical subscription, paul understands the younger audience, mike tyson is an icon, he transcends boxing like tiger woods does with golf. their cultural significance escapes that. the eyeballs and the attention will be there. where it goes is the question, some call it an exhibition. it is sanctioned because it is sanctioned by texas. the key rule changes from 3 minutes down to two, but generally it is 10 ounce gloves, tonight it is 14. that goes in favor of paul but if
