When the Kennedy Center honors somebody, its a pretty big, damn deal. So As I read the news and hear that the "Godfather of Soul," James Brown has been arrested for domestic violence, it concerns me. The man was just recognized by the Kennedy Center as "..one of the biggest influences in music over the past 50 years!" Damn, thats pretty heavy. I mean heavy in the sense that Mr. Brown spent time in the pen for drug and assault charges (but was later pardon). I guess I shoud get over it. I mean cats like Chick Corea, Pat Methany, Gary Burton, Dave Holland, Roy Haynes, Wynton Marsalis, Billy Joel, etc., etc., etc. Haven'ts done a thing for music... Oh well!!!
one of the biggest influences in music over the past 50 years!
