Inarguably, the climactic moment of the Fight of the Century, between Muhammad Ali and Smokin' Joe Frazier, March 8, 1971. I got to meet them both when I directed Facing Ali. What a thrill. #MuhammadAli #JoeFrazier #boxing

My grandmother was born on November 25th, 1897, and would've been 127 yesterday, in case you were wondering. She made great porridge. Here she is telling us not to grumble, and how lucky she is.

When Larry Holmes fought Muhammad Ali in 1980, trainer Angelo Dundee didn't stop the fight 3 rounds too late. It was 5 years too late. Ali was slurring & had early Parkinson's, fighting the BEST fighter in the world. It was insane to let him fight. From Facing Ali. @boxinghistory.bsky.social

It's weird in life how, eventually, at the very end, we all just give up.

I'm hoping Bluesky is wonderful and nuanced, and even that people like what I do. But behind that optimism, and between documentaries, I wrote this lyric...the rest of the song just keeps digging...

Charles Barkley, who is a Democrat, had this to say to Democrats—and I've decided to take it as a prescription for my whole life in general.

The opening riff / hook and the half-chorus on R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion was written by Peter Buck on mandolin. It's not the first big hit with a mandolin opening. Who remembers this Canadian classic from 1971? And how about that hat?

Anybody feel like forgetting the news for a while and going out all day on their mustang bike, no helmet, no destination? Me, too. But I can't right now, so I wrote a song about it instead. open.spotify.com/track/4e00in...

Yesterday, I finished directing a film on the life of Joe Frazier. Fifteen years ago I directed Facing Ali. Got to meet them both. Here is the arguably most famous moment between them. What are your favourite shocking and famous moments in all of sport?
