He was a great boxer. The three fights with Ali were magnificent. The few times I've looked at heavyweight matches since that era [say, since 1985] it's been like having to slog through what passes for discourse on Planet Pepe after having been engaged with Plato's Republic or Aristotle's Physics.

You can't get that stuff no mo'.

You know Bootleg Sally used to live across town
The law went there and they closed 'r down

Now you can't get that stuff no more
Now you can't get that stuff no more
No matter how you try, you can't buy
You can't get that stuff no more
You know that place on Dago Hill
The law took the gal and the liquor still

Li'l Suzanne she used to sell her grease
She got in trouble with the chief o' police

There goes Joe with a great big knife
Somebody been messin' round with his wife
Now he can't get that stuff no more
Now he can't get that stuff no more
No matter how he try, he can't buy
He can't get that stuff no more

Smokin' Joe had a mean hook, that's for sure.
