A phone call with Bruce Lee

As it would have been Bruce Lee’s 75th Birthday this year I plan to pay tribute by providing you with at least one article a month focusing on him, whether it be about the books he wrote, books about him, or even just books with his name in the title!

Now, today’s news item is about a telephone call.

Could you imagine listening in on a telephone call that Bruce Lee made? Who would he be talking to? What do you think he would be talking about? Are you interested in finding out?

If so, head over to http://ckjkd.com as Jeet Kune Do Instructor Chris Kent has a transcript of a call that took place in 1972, between Bruce Lee and Daniel Lee. You can download the transcript for free and read everything that was said. It gives a fantastic insight into some of Bruce’s thoughts as he hit the height of his fame.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments section below!

By the way, some of Bruce Lee’s films have been reviewed here already and make for riveting reading, for example:
Fist of Fury http://kungfukingdom.com/fist-of-fury-movie-review/ and Enter The Dragon http://kungfukingdom.com/enter-the-dragon-movie-review/ You can also see our profile of Bruce here: http://kungfukingdom.com/profile-of-bruce-lee/
