it's so sad to hear the death of famous musicians...

Sid Barret died recently... And now James Brown...

Will be remembered...

Natchez is nice, but rainy right now.

How does the coast look now? Have they finally gotten finished with all the cleanup? I heard we laid off 200 people at the Isle in Biloxi the other day. Deffinately not what the area needed.

i think thats the mugshots from when he had a problem with domestic violence.

His old stuff was great though.

I haven't seen it in person for nine or so months. My folks down there say that it's coming along slowly though.

One of my favorites. Gotta love funk. Any music genre that gets named after the smell of sex . . . well how can you not like that.

JBs a musical god. As a man, well, not so great. But then- I'm listening to his music, not hangin out with him.

I seen one of his bad moments and heard of others but really I have a lot of admiration for what he did and did not want to see this day! RIP James Brown!

He kissed my wife on the cheek in the 70's at a concert in KC. Rock on James :rock:

His debriefing, when he reaches the otherside should be an interesting one!
