Okay, people that know me have watched this a million times, but this is the single greatest thing ever. Click here, and enjoy the bounty that is James Brown.
You gotta have comments. You just have to. Also, if you think that’s funny and want the file, I have it. It was too big to upload onto the server I use, though.

My brother sent me this several months ago. Two words,
“crack kills.”
S’why we can’t get NOWHERE as a people.
That ain’t crack, man. Blow maybe, but not geek.

Hi Bomani, first time commenter, long time reader; love the blog…….
Damn, that’s tooooooo funny… As far as his drug of choice, I always thought James had a fondness for angel dust?
Welcome, Jay. And you are correct. It is angel dust. For reference, see the addendum to the most recent edition of his autobiography. Or, you could just check any report after his arrest in the late ’80s.

This James Brown is classic. Bo, I’m impressed by your appreciation of the Godfather of Soul. He is a dependable source for a good guffaw.
Does anyone remember the video from his arrest in Augusta in the early 90’s? His hair was a mess and he was very eloquent as he explained his refusal to stop for law enforcement authorities from two states. He drove for several miles on rims!!
When I get burnt, I use a salve, and when I need a woman, a mother she’s got to have!!
With regards to that arrest, give a look to that addendum to this autobiography that I mentioned. The sentence he caught was absolutely ridiculous. By most accounts, the six years he got for that is widely considered to be the longest sentence in the history of this country for a traffic violation. Flee the cops he did, but did they have to fill his car up with holes? Really, six years for refusing to pull over? That was ludicrous.

Drugs are bad!!
I am in James Brown country (Augusta, GA) and let me tell you the man doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Does he have his problems? Of course, everybody does.
Elvis popped more pills than Rush Limbaugh and he is damn near considered a God. James is a musical legend that didn’t steal someone else’s sound to make it in the industry and people in this city were ready to riot when we dedicated a statue in his honor. Can you say double standard?
By the way, I like James, but I can’t end this message without sharing the mug shot seen ’round the world. If this won’t make you smile nothing will.
