10 reasons why Bruce Lee can never be replaced

Everyone probably knows who Bruce Lee is. The man with the fastest fists, a man usually seen using nunchaku (nunchuks to us Americans) in his martial arts movies that dominated the 1970s. Here are 10 things about him that you probably either knew or didn't know.

1. Bruce Lee could replace a dime on a person's palm with a penny before they could close it
2. He could perform the "Dragon Flag" move for more than 30 minutes

3. When directors made movies with him in it, they had to speed up the cameras to 32 frames a second instead of the usual 24 because he was that fast and to also make them seem more realistic
4. It was discovered that his speed to react and punch from three feet away was five hundredths of a second!

 

 

 

5. He once kicked a man so hard that he broke the arm of the person behind him as he fell

6. He could perform push ups using only his thumb and index finger on one hand!
7. Despite only weighing between 130-135 pounds, he could easily do 50 one arm chin-ups and also could do push-ups with up to 125 pounds on his back
8. In 1970, he severely damaged his sacral nerve. This left doctors telling him he could never do Kung Fu again. They were proved wrong!
9. In 1962, he was in a fight that lasted 11 seconds and in that time he managed 15 punches and a kick that defeated his opponent

10. In Afghanistan, there is a boy named Bruce Hazara (originally known as Abas Alizada) who bears a very striking resemblance to Bruce Lee and wants to follow in Lee's footsteps

Rule of the Day: Don't tick off the Metal God!

Recently, there have been a lot of news stories involving a court clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky. This court clerk is named Kim Davis and she is the one that officially signs off on marriages. She has recently made a lot of trouble for herself for refusing to marry same-sex couples. She has stated her religious beliefs as her reason for refusing to marry same-sex couples. But she has managed to raise the temper of one of metal's many iconic figures, Rob Halford, known as the Metal God.

Rob Halford was asked to give his opinions on the issue of this woman. When he visited C103 in Halifax, Canada, he was asked to give his opinion to the local DJ there, Scotty Mars. He states "freedom and democracy and freedom of speech and everybody being able to say what they feel"

"When you are employed in a situation that comes with basic, accepted ground rules and you try to kind of manipulate them to your perception so that it interferes with your job and interferes with other people’s lives, I take exception,” argued Halford. “It’s simple, man: Just give each other the respect and equality that everybody deserves on this planet, no matter where you’re from. So all this business about gay, straight, bi, black, white, Jew, Catholic — it’s all these ridiculous labels. We’re all people. We all need to just try and find a way to love each other and accept each other and try and make the world a better place. Amen"

Since coming out of the closet in 1998, he has seen a change in attitudes towards open homosexuality. He isn't, however, the only musician to air their opinions on the issue of Kim Davis. She managed to tick off former Survivor bandmates Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan. They were furious that their song "Eye of the Tiger" was used to support her.

Music's "Filthy Fifteen"

According to those Parents Music Resource Council (PMRC) idiots, here are what they consider to be the Top 15 Filthiest Songs.

AC/DC
-Let Me Put My Love Into You
-If this is going to be on here, then shouldn't "Givin' the Dog a Bone" "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Have a Drink on Me" be included as well? Because everyone seems to like a good old rock song about sex, drugs or rock and roll. It's like the three things to becoming a rock star, lmao!!

Def Leppard
-High N' Dry
-It's said this song refers to alcohol and drug use

Black Sabbath
-Trashed
-Apparently this song is about drunk driving and alcohol

W.A.S.P.
-Animal (F--- like a Beast)
-Wow, there's a nasty sex song!

Motley Crue
-Bastard
-According to bassist Nikki Sixx, they felt like they were being screwed, so this song was written to basically say "don't screw us", "don't mess with us"

Twisted Sister
-We're Not Gonna Take It
-This is about rebelling against those who try to tell you who to be

Venom
-Possessed
-If the title doesn't tell you, this song is probably about devil worship and possessed souls

Judas Priest
-Eat Me Alive
-Supposedly the song is about bondage. Well then, if Judas Priest writes songs with dirty lyrics, shouldn't "Raw Deal" be on here as well? That song came under fire for lyrics pointing to homosexuality. That song basically told the world Rob was gay before he came out if you didn't pick up on the handcuffs on his hips or the black leather bondage gear he wears on stage!

Mercyful Fate
-Into the Coven
-It's about witchcraft

Sheena Easton
-Sugar Walls
-This doesn't sound so filthy

Cyndi Lauper
-She Bop
-Must be what they're calling sex for women now, lol!!

Mary Jane Girls
-In My House
-Who knows what this song could be about?

Vanity
-Strap On Robbie Baby
-This could be about a strap on that women use for sexual pleasure

Madonna
-Dress You Up
-Said to have sexually explicit lyrics

Prince
-Darling Nikki
-Supposedly the inspiration for the PMRC came from Tipper Gore, who was aghast at hearing this song coming from her daughter's bedroom

Although I do like the track "Wrathchild". That one is good!

18
Judas Priest
-Sad Wings of Destiny
-This album is iconic in the sense that it's the first album where you see the three pronged pitchfork symbol nowadays associated with Judas Priest. This album catapulted Priest into the world of heavy metal, with tracks like the complex "Victim of Changes" to the short yet dangerous "The Ripper"

17
Dio
-Holy Diver
-"Castle metal", meaning the lyrical content is about dungeons, dragons, castles and all manner of medieval topic.

-This album is amazing. The track "Solitude" is probably the quietest song they've written to date, lol. It's slow, an almost love song. Very good. Ozzy has an amazing voice for ballads. And if you listen real close, you can hear flutes on it, being played by none other than Tony Iommi, inspired by his short stint in Jethro Tull. Overall, the entire album is awesome. "Sweet Leaf" makes me laugh because of how it starts-Tony coughing his head off from a joint, lol!!!!
