    Venice Beach/Venice Boardwalk has changed over the years because of the homeless situation but back in the 80’s and 90’s when I was visiting family in L.A. my Aunt Boogie would take me there all the time and it was literally like 42nd Street in N.Y. Beautiful scenery, beautiful women, stylish dressing from the men and women, shopping spots and good food up and down the boardwalk. I tried some fish tacos back the for the first time. I can’t remember the name up the spot but they some good fish tacos and cheap. Great video as always Kev. Peace Mac. Peace Brotha Munson

      Monson said he tried steroids once, but didn't like them. And Rookie, from my understanding, didn't use steroids. People said he would smoke "wet" because that drug made you feel strong.

    agreed the best interview here ,Arnold was the golden boy on contract ,paid by joe weider ,totally fixed ifbb ,sadly Craig with his felony history ,Weider could not make money out of him .Weider,S muscle & fitness magazine was sold for more then 350 USD,million ,he never gave back a dime ,the business he created,once he left,1x page advert was USD$25,000.Bodybuilders were poor back in the 80,s .Weiders lent money to Arnold to buy many properties in Venice ,and introduce Arnold to hollywood,Arnold was going 3 to 4 movies per year at $18 million per movie ,he didn't need the bodybuilding industry, until later in life ,when he married a kennedy and was then caught with the maid of 20 years to father Joseph,oh i forgot ,Barbara Oatland his live girlfriend of 6 years taught him how speak english and write.Craig has a lot more soul then Arnold i wish him a long life god bless him.

Way to keep going on and keep you're composer and stay with it. Aye mane he really is Legendary on his history, and still to this day and time back then,,, they did not want know Black Man to Win Body Builder them Judge knew his present was a Win in it's self.
    I use to say the earlier interviews was top 5 cause I was just a year in or more, but you Brother's or Coming with some heat.
