The king of soul himself passed away this morning. He was 73. May the legend live on.... and the big payback.

Devestating. I miss him already. - Tue, 26 Dec 2006 9:25am

I wonder now, are they going to make a James Brown movie?
Man, he has one crazy life story, it would make an interesting film for sure. But yeah, there's been Ray, Walk The Line.... The goodfoot next?

SO if they are making a James Brown movie... who is going to take the honors and play MR. Brown? WHo do you think would play a good James Brown?

Samuel Jackson?
Lawerence Fishbouge(sp?) (guy from Matrix...)
Danny Glover?
trying to think but having a major brain fart...

How about Bobby Brown? Mind you, he wouldn't last more than 2 days of film shooting without getting drugged and drunk, crashing cars and trashing hotels. Oh, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, and to all a good Friday night.

the funeral is live on CNN.

Some neat facts:

If a band member played an off note he was fined.

if a band member was caught toking on the road, even in a hotel room, every member in the room was fired.


His next show was scheduled in Prince Gerge in Jan. - Sat, 30 Dec 2006 11:48am

A James Brown movie? I think they should get George Clooney to do Soul Bro # uno.

Best intermission music ever played was james brown right before the B52's went on at the orpheum or QE theatre(?). I had to ask who it was cuz they were such old recordings (maybe from the 50's). Everyone in there was dancing.. in their seats, while finding seats, getting booze, or with friends way across the theatre. Fun.

Except I HATE that song sex machine with a passion. UGH! - Wed, 3 Jan 2007 4:51pm Edited: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 4:53pm
