Atlanta was child's play compared to LA for the Olympics

Rafer Johnson lit a "wick" of sorts at the top of the archway after having climbed a big flight of steps. The flame flared up a pipe, through the Olympic Rings and on up the side of the tower to ignite the cauldron.

Who knew 8 short years later blacks would follow in his footsteps and set fire to much of the other parts of LA.

@kamwrites Yes, John Williams wrote his "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" for the L.A. Olympics, but it's the media who treat this work as if it were an official Olympic "theme". The IOC's official Olympic theme is Spyridon Samaras' "Olympic Hymn", originally written for the 1896 Athens Olympics. This is what you hear whenever the Olympic flag is raised.

@pathbleue Well, both Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 were significantly marred by Cold War boycotts, and I tend to mentally lump these two Olympics together.
