#性事/政治家:歌舞伎町的人權主張
-
 多年前為了蒐集資料,在歌舞妓町街頭認識了李小牧。一晃廿多年,眼見他從「案內人」變身為作家、商人,現在還在新宿區競選議員!自「新宿事件」之後,其實我一直關注著他,深感他的人生比我的更為精采和刺激。作為一個創作人,多想有他那種經歷啊。雖然不太可能,但也希望從他的大作中得到感悟。小牧故事說得非常出色,他的書我一定會繼續拜讀!——著名導演,爾冬陞
  我在一旁目睹了一直在新宿歌舞伎町擔任「性事」嚮導的李小牧獲得日本國籍,並競選新宿區議會議員。因為他在中國和日本看到光明和黑暗,所以他強烈地感受到人們有尊嚴地表達意見的重要性,也想參與決定社會規則和政策的過程。——東京大學大學院教授,阿古智子
  「壘起七星灶,銅壺煮三江;擺開八仙桌,招待十六方」 ,《鏘鏘三人行》、《圓桌派》已算是廣交五湖四海三教九流了,但在各路異人中,小牧兄仍顯跳色,他是「國外花國流外流,伎町歌舞幾時休?」——著名主持人,竇文濤
  我希望通過這本書讓全球華人讀者瞭解真正的日本人,及「歌舞伎町社會大學」。——美國新聞週刊Newsweek日文版總編輯長,長岡義博

 One key to Foreman’s business success in so many areas, he said, was making personal appearances.

“That’s bigger than anything, any endorsement, I don’t care who you are,” he said. “They want to touch you; they want to know you.”

“Then,” he said, “they buy you.”

福爾曼表示,他在許多領域取得商業成功的關鍵就是親自露面。


他說:“這比任何事情、任何支持都重要,我不在乎你是誰。” “他們想要觸摸你;他們想要了解你。”


“然後,”他說,“他們就買下你了。”


George Foreman, Boxing Champion and Grilling Magnate, Dies at 76

He claimed a world title in his 20s and again in his 40s, and then parlayed his fame and amiable personality into a multimillion-dollar grill business.

拳擊冠軍、燒烤業巨頭喬治·福爾曼去世,享年 76 歲
他在 20 多歲時和 40 多歲時兩次奪得世界冠軍,然後利用他的名氣和和藹可親的性格,經營著價值數百萬美元的燒烤店。


With Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, Foreman embodied a golden era in the 1970s, when boxing was still a cultural force in America. The three great champions thrilled fans with one classic bout after another. Foreman was the last living member of the trio.

And his popularity helped him make millions selling grills after his retirement.



He scored a few more wins and lost to Tommy Morrison, but then managed to land another title shot in 1994 against Moorer, 26, who had defeated Holyfield. Some called it undeserved and suggested that Foreman got the chance only because of his fame and the novelty of his age. “It’s not about deserving,” he said with a smile, “because I’ve got it.”

Foreman was trailing on the judges’ scorecards when he managed to land the big punch he was looking for and knocked Moorer out in the 10th round in Las Vegas. Moorer had thrown 641 punches, to 369 by Foreman. But the last one was the one that counted.

Foreman had stood rather than sit on a stool between rounds as if to defy his 45 years. He became the oldest heavyweight champion in history.

他又取得了幾場勝利並輸給了湯米·莫里森 (Tommy Morrison),但隨後在 1994 年與擊敗過霍利菲爾德的 26 歲的穆勒 (Moorer) 爭奪了另一場冠軍頭銜。有些人認為福爾曼不配獲得這個機會,並認為他之所以能獲得這個機會只是因為他的名氣和他的時代的新穎性。 “這與應得與否無關,”他笑著說道,“因為我已經擁有了。”

在拉斯維加斯的第十回合比賽中,福爾曼在裁判的記分卡上落後時,他成功發出了他想要的重拳,將穆爾擊倒。穆勒共出拳 641 次,福爾曼出拳 369 次。但最後一個才是最重要的。

福爾曼在巡查間隙總是站著而不是坐在凳子上,彷彿是為了向自己 45 歲的年齡致敬。他成為史上最年長的重量級拳王。

他在賽後說道:“任何你想要的,你都可以實現。” “就像歌裡唱的一樣,’當你向星星許願時,你的夢想就會實現。’好吧,今晚看著我。”

“Anything you desire, you can make happen,” he said after the fight. “It’s like the song, ‘When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.’ Well, look at me tonight.”

Foreman returned to his youth center, did commentary for televised boxing broadcasts and, most lucratively, sold hamburger grills.
