I'm black and i'm proud. God rest the soul of the great james brown, dead at 73, this Christmas day. He did so much for music.

They used to have a motion ride at the EMP (experience music project - the Jimi Hendrix museum), up here called Funk Blast with James Brown. I loved it and was so sad when they took it down. I stil have the poster though. He rocked!
