RIP JAMES BROWN

James Brown, one of modern day's funniest and most talented performeers is now muerto. What kind of Christmas morning news is that?? His agent is quoted as saying "We really don't know at this point what he died of".
Here are some snippets from his life:

Brown would routinely lose two or three pounds each time he performed and kept his furious concert schedule in his later years even as he fought prostate cancer, Ross said.

By the eighth grade in 1949, Brown had served 3 1/2 years in Alto Reform School near Toccoa, Ga., for breaking into cars.

In September 1988, Brown, high on PCP and carrying a shotgun, entered an insurance seminar next to his Augusta office. Police said he asked seminar participants if they were using his private restroom.

Adrienne Brown died in 1996 in Los Angeles at age 47. She took PCP and several prescription drugs while she had a bad heart and was weak from cosmetic surgery two days earlier, the coroner said.

In honour of James, I'm going to post one of my favourite video clips ever. Thank you for this gem James:
