What? You can't handle the fact that Brown wasn't the most upstanding gentleman at home? You mad at the women who admitted Miles Davis beat them too? Maybe you think Tina Turner's a stupid bitch as well.
Whatever - you think a single negative interview is going to suddenly throw Brown's legacy as a musical genius into the toilet?
Your ass hurtness over this is sopho[/b]moric at best.
It was well-known, while JB was alive, that he didn't treat her right. The Onion even parodied it!
Yeah - I mean, it's generally well-known that JB wasn't exactly Mr. Upstanding Dude, not just with Tommie Rae but in general. I don't know why folks gotta act like he was some kind of saint just b/c he died. As noted, his legacy as a cultural figure has been minimally diminished by all this. Brown can take it (since he sure dished it out, it seems).
exactly - I read the tabloid article today and wasn't surprised in the least - she said she didn't hit him back incase she hurt or killed him
You can read the article the way the writer wants you to. Or you can read it critically.
What I read was a story about a man who was old and tired, suffered from diabiates and arthritis. Still he went out night after night and worked as hard as he could, knee drops and splits to the point where he couldn't get out of bed the next day. I don't think that will hurt his reputation as the hardest working man in show business.
I read about a band leader who didn't treat members of the show differently just because he was married to them. She still had be as professional as the rest of the band if she wanted to sing.
I think she is being treated unfairly after living and working with him for perhaps the hardest 9 years of his life.
My guess on why she wouldn't talk about his drug problems is that she is at the center of those problems.
His estate is going to be messier than Jimi Hendrix's, who was also said to have died broke. His estate was controlled by lawyers and shady music industry types through a series of blind off-shore holding companys.
"I couldn't stand his music, personally" from "David"
scary.

Yeah, but this is the Daily Mail. For those of you lucky enough to be unfamiliar with this hateful rag, James Brown is the kind of person their readership would probably consider to be not much more than "an uppity n****r". The fact that the Mail has a very strong claim to be the true voice of Middle England depresses me, as an Englishman, enormously.
yeah man, that raredave needs a Glasgow kiss
hahahahahahha
Can't be that bad if the King of Anglia reads it? "Gonna read Siiiimon Hefeeeeerrrrr on the verandaaaaa. Ain't no-one gonna stop meeeeehhh" (spoken in the style of John Wayne)
Actually I think he's more of an express man: "arguably the best newspaper in the world"
Exactly.
Look, we are all hugely indebted to JB for his musical legacy. And we all mourn his death a whole lot. But is it really coming as a surprise that in terms of personal relations, JB was a dickish control freak? Nothing Tomi Rae says is going to "tarnish the mystique" any more than the many other stories of JB's lousy behavior that are already commonly known.
Ture. Plus I think his lawyers, and children are treating her worse than he ever did. At least he loved her.
Here is a spider hole. If I'm right his other wives, both married and "road wives" were Black. Rae is White. Does this have anything to do with her being escorted to a back pew and being locked out of the house? I think money and greed are the main factors, but I wonder.
i never said it would or could tarnish him, but that seems to be her intetnion.
the ensuing litigation is goign to be nasty.
Alas, yeah, looks to be that way.
this is what hapens when you want some young ass....
it was pretty easy to tell it wasn't a high-class paper from the poor-ass writing and interminable repetitiousness.

I kind of suspect that was the previous wife--the white lady that died on the operating table while having surgery to make herself look more Black.
