Christmas Day 2006...sad news...

Well, Christmas has come and with it has come the death of a true innovator, emancipator, and full-on dancitator...

James Brown, the hardest working man in show business, has left us

It's hard to beat someone like him (though allegedly he found it pretty easy to beat other people). I can honestly say that his music influences me whenever I go on stage. You may not believe it, but it's true. The man knew about rhythm...he was quoted as saying that the thing about singing funk is not the notes that you sing, but the notes that you don't.

Right on, my brother!
