[The Chairman]

Lots of celebs have died this year, but this one in particular really hits me hard as a music fan. Farewell to one of the most influential, important and taleneted artists the music world has ever witnessed. Go with God, James Brown.

Earth just lost a huge chunk of it's funk.

Are you his wife?

 

[Dope Nose]

nope. just have a hard time respecting anyone who would beat a woman.

Me too, but funny enough, I have a hard time respecting a woman that allows herself to be beat.


He's dead, get over it. If you're going to focus on the one negative aspect of his life than you're a sad individual. What if you died and all I kept saying was.


"Yeah thats sad, sad that he ****ed a goat"

 

[Memphis Slim]

no words............

 

[SoulManX]

" The Godfather Of Soul"

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

nope. just have a hard time respecting anyone who would beat a woman.

You're just like my Mom who said I shouldn't like Led Zeppelin because Jimmy Page was a Black Magician.

No one respects his wife-beating or his wacked-out crackhead interviews on TV. They respect his super human showmanship and musical talent.

Mel Gibson is an insane racist drunk, but you can be a Jew and love Braveheart as a film. People are multi-faceted. If you find a facet you like, you'll be sad to see it go, while still saying "Yeah, those other facets were f***ed up."

If you're going to focus on the one negative aspect of his life than you're a sad individual.

except that it wasn't the one negative aspect of his life. in '88 he broke into an insurance seminar with a shotgun, held it hostage, and then led police on a multi-state highway chase.

a few months before that he savagely beat then-wife Adrienne Brown with a mop handle and fired a shotgun into the car she was driving.

it should also be noted that he's been married three times and has beaten all three women and has had numerous sexual harassment charges brought against him by employees.

I understand why you would feel it difficult to respect a woman who allows herself to be a victim of violence, but you should know that all three women did report him to the authorities.

seriously, there's a reason various women's rights advocates filed protests with the Kennedy Center to prevent him from being included as an honoree.

Like I said, get over it.

Dope Nose, Zeptron said "He made amazing music."
And then you had to bring up his evil, psycho wife-beating.

You're so fired up to burst bubbles that you're ignoring the main point.

Has ANYone here said, "Damn, so sad. No one could keep those dirty b****es in line like JB. . I'm gonna hit my woman with a sack full of nickels tonight in honor of his life's great beating acheivements. ." ?



They'll miss his music, not his violence and drug abuse.

I think Michael Jackson should be in prison. He's a dangerous freak. But if he died, you have to acknowledge his impossibly good music.

Never leave Wilhelm and Darth. :heart:


This is one sucky way to start my bloody day.
