    Happy Birthday to the Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk!

    Can we please leave the mugshots out of this party?

    There was a thing in the Onion when he turned 70. All I remember was that he "got
    another goddamn silk cape from Bobby Byrd" which I found amusing.

    *( I don't want to sour the moment, it's just ashame he's gone a little "off the boat" lately, or so I've been told)

    While driving today I heard 3 James Brown songs in a row on public radio. At first I was happy, like the last time they played "Root Down", but then it hit me and I thought "Oh shit, James Brown is dead!"

    Glad to know it's just his birthday.

    Deep beats and deep crates,

    "I thought I was the man in this relationship!"

    I know it's spelled with a 'y', but it was too good to pass up

    "And although I love his music/I just can't stand/how they used it all up and didn't pay the man." Too $hort

    But while we're on the subject, my fav JB sample is still Das Efx "Blind Man Can See It" on They Want Efx.




    Any others? Favorite JB samples anyone?
