The man, the legend--from back in the day. Enjoy.

James Brown, civil rights activist, entertainer, hardest working man in show business. Has left the stage at 73...but this time, he won't be back. :(

May he rest in peace.

:cry:

I used to love both of those dances when I was little!

8. James Brown will be packing the Appolo one last time

tomorrow. He will lie in state at the Appolo from 1 to 8pm.


I have loved his music since I was in eighth grade.

9. This poem made me think of him...

The Fiddler of Dooney
W.B. Yeats

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney
Folk dance like a wave of the sea
My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet
My brother in Moharabuiee

I passed my brother and cousin:
They read in their books of prayer;
I read in my book of songs
I bought at the Sligo fair.

When we come at the end of time,
To Peter sitting in state,
He will smile on the three old spirits,
But call me first through the gate;

For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle
And the merry love to dance:

And when the folk there spy me,
They will all come up to me,
With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney!’
And dance like a wave of the sea.
