James Brown, Dies at 73
- Thread starter Ghost_knife
- Start date
We drove up and saw him last year in Chicago, he still put on a show at 72. Was really sad to see the news this morning. 
James Brown abused his wives and was guilty of drug and weapons offenses.
He was not a hero and does not deserve to be worshipped. He was a dirtbag that was only let out of jail because of his fame.

Sadly a few news stations around here used one of his mugshots in a few of his "memorials".. Who does that?!
Strangely enough I have yet to hear that techno song "James Brown is Dead" yet, proving that maybe there is some kind of respect for the deceased.

i might need to listen to more of his music to get a better understanding of him.
