'Godfather of Soul' James Brown Dead

[Calliander]

A fun thing we used to do in the office a summer ago is put on James Brown in the background, and watch people as they go about their business... they can't help but move to the music in some way. Try it sometime. Don't bring what's on to their attention, just watch. They can't sit still.

True. It doesn't even matter which song.

For some reason I thought he was already dead last month. I never really knew what he was about besides all of that juke dancing but he seemed cool enough.

James Brown was a genius. Actually, he was more like an idiot savant. He was inarticulate bordering on incomprehensible and could barely talk, a total lunatic, an addict, but dammit he did what he did well. He will be missed.

He couldn't get on up?

He got caught up in a "Get on Up" and "Get Down" paradox loop and his brain had a divide overflow error.

RIP Godfather of Soul. RIP.
