James Brown - Dead

Returned last night from my trek through the Yucatan and Belize and learned that James Brown died; a cotton picker from the deep South who grew up under the influence of classic gospel music in church; rose to pioneer and master an original American art form; a product of real poverty, prejudice... and the freedoms and unique creative energy found in America. I know that this isn’t of earth-shattering importance in the big scheme of things but I post this great clip in his honor.
