11 29 2009 Bruce Springsteen calls Tom Morello on stage to let him rage against the general harmony of the song, “The Ghost of Tom Joad”. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary in Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York.
Bruce Springsteen was the last to be honored, by a funny speech from The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart. Stewart told a story about how as a young bartender in New Jersey, he’d play Springsteen every night in his 1976 Gremlin on his ride home after work. He said that when you listen to Springsteen, “You aren’t a loser. You are a character in an epic poem…about losers.” He praised The Boss for “emptying the tank” with every performance for his audience, and love for his art, family and country. After a thank you to Bruce for his work from Vietnam Veteran author Ron Kovic, John Mellencamp, Indiana’s answer to Springsteen, performed his own rendition of “Born In the USA.” Ben Harper and Jennifer Nettles did a scorching duet of “I’m On Fire”, Melissa Etheridge belted out a great cover of “Born To Run”, Eddie Vedder a mellow but passionate acoustic performance of “City Of Ruins”, and Sting ended the tribute with “The Rising”, backed up by a gospel choir, which got the whole building on their feet and singing.
The Big Boss (traditional Chinese: 唐山大兄; also known as Fists of Fury) is a 1971 Hong Kong martial arts-action film.The Big Boss was Bruce Lee’s first major film. Initially, the star of the film was intended to be James Tien, but Lee’s strong performance relegated Tien, then a major star in Hong Kong, to second billing. His success in this film made Bruce Lee a star across Asia.Cheng is a Chinese man from Guangdong who has moved to Thailand, with the help of his uncle, to find a job working with his cousins in an ice factory. When a block of ice is accidentally broken, something that looks like a bag of white powder comes out. Later that night, the two cousins who discovered the heroin are asked to stay to see the manager. They are told that there are better jobs for them. Apparently, the factory is a front for a drug smuggling ring led by the Big Boss, Hsiao Mi. The cousins are offered good positions. When they decline, they are swiftly eliminated. Hsiao Mi attempts to cover up the murders, but Cheng and his surviving cousins become suspicious. Two more of his cousins, Hsu Chien and Ah Pei, go to Mi’s house to ask if he knows what happened to them. When they realize he is acting suspicious and start toward the police station, Mi also has them killed (but not before Hsu takes several of Mi’s men down with him). Hsiao Mi then distracts Cheng by promoting him to foreman and providing him with alcohol and prostitutes (turning some of his cousins against him). However, out …
