Goodbye, Kung Fu Master
By Ed. Filed in Life, TV |
Was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of David Carradine. He was in the “Kung Fu” TV series that debuted in the early 1970′s and several movies. I think the first Kung Fu show was in 1972. That’s when I remember first watching it, anyway.
I really liked the concept of a monk being trained in the Eastern religions and martial arts. I still, to this day, use the term, “grasshopper” with my grandson.
Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper?
Caine: Old man, who is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?
Sad that he died under mysterious and unflattering circumstances. He was found hanged in a hotel room in Bangkok. I saw a headline that says officials do not believe it was suicide. That is so very sad, either way.
