Really? Wow.

Apparently Stepin Fetchit and Muhammad Ali were friends. It's not the matchup that boggled me, but I never think of them as being in any way contemporary. But the 30s was closer to the 60s than the 60s are to now (and I am showing my age with every passing second). A new play called Fetch Clay, Make Man tells the story. Alas, the Times doesn't think the play itself holds up...it doesn't go deeply enough into either character. But it still sounds fascinating.
