I remember watching this scene on Parts Unknown and realizing that everything we’ve been told about Iran was bullshit. Beautiful track too
@MelvinTheMopBoi bourdain was clear eyed about the world we lost a good one when we lost him
@MelvinTheMopBoi Over the course of almost 6 decades I have witnessed how our govt has portrayed other countries and it has never been fair or even true.
@MelvinTheMopBoi I think I remember him saying they were his favorite group of people on earth or something--that their kindness is next level.
@MelvinTheMopBoi Still remember a lesson from my father: "Son, governments hate governments and want their people to hate the people of the other government. People don't hate people but hate the government of the other people." Don't hate people but do hate the government that makes you hate.
@MelvinTheMopBoi His books are amazing as well. I loved Bourdain. His views and the way he expressed himself was next level. What an ambassador for the human race. CNN tho, look how far you've come..
