 Im glad I got to see him twice!  Also got to bring my kids to see him.  It was their first show at the 930...

Now more than ever do I regret not seeing that James Brown/Chuck Brown show at 9:30.... I knew I'd hate myself this Christmas.
 Bummer.
 Oh and this does merit it's own post.

damn ... there aren't many who you can definitively say "there will never be another," but there ain't never gonna be another mr. dynamite.
 
 everybody go listen to "get up, get into it, get involved." do it now.

Sad news.  
 
 Cue Rhett to chime in with the shortcomings, failures and character defects of the deceased.  And to also point out that it was somehow his fault.

Where does Surly Bonds find these images?
 
 My only encouter with the Godfather of Soul was a sold-out show at the 930 my friend and I snuck into a few years back without paying (sorry Seth).   It was towards the end of the night and he was doing this extended encore, and the level of energy in that room was beyond belief.  I expected people to start writhing on the floor and speaking in tongues at any moment.   I regret I never got to see a full set, and in particular that show with Chuck Brown must've been out of this world.   Rest in peace.

More than 'where' I was thinking 'why'?

Those things speak for themselves. I'm sure when I die, you'll be the first to chime in on those things about me.

Hold up: we're supposed to wait until you die to do that?

RIP James Brown.
 
 I never got to see the man play, but I was at The Raven one evening and James Brown's Big Payback came on.  Everyone in the bar was nodding their heads in time.

my regret was never going to the 2002 HFS Nutcracker when they had James Brown play with The Pietasters. I heard it was a fucking awesome set. I also do regret not seeing the Chuck Brown vs. James Brown show.
 
 I give huge props to the Godfather. He was and still is Soul Brother Number 1. He basically created R&B and Funk. I agree that there will never be another person like him. He was the hardest working man in show business. I wish him a well deserve rest. I'm sure he's going to have a blast in heaven. He's probably giving Elvis a run for his money haha.

I'd never dance on your grave Rhett...It's the holidays!
