the good lord called home one of his favorite soul singers Christmas morn'. yesterday, James Brown (age 73) died of pneumonia.
thanks JB for many things, including decades of funk, crazy fashion choices, hysterical mug shots and that unforgettable 1986 cameo in Rocky IV...oh and also for instilling national pride in all of us with the theme song for said movie, "Living in America."
to learn more about james brown and why we should be sad, visit this slightly insane website dedicated to him:

p.s. and if that didnt make your sad bone twinge, here's an extra scoop for you: apparently, his wife was came home from a vacation to discover that not only had her husband died, but also that she was now homeless. for whatever reason, family members locked her out of the Brown home and she informed reporters that she was now homeless. merry christmas mrs. brown.
