I've seen him out in the public several times in the Aiken, SC area. I guess his troubles with the local authorities prevented him from getting a CCP because, on more than one occasion, I saw him pumping gas with a .22 rifle at his side.
The death of James Brown deserves at least a mention from the President...I don't expect a national holiday (yet) or a viewing in the Capital Rotunda, but we are talking about the Hardest Working Man in Show Business here...
We are offically in Mourning at our house...
Oh yah...
Anyone care to speculate on what Bootsy Collins will wear to the funeral??
Just askin'...
I haven't seen this noted, but James Brown took an active role in Nixon's campaign "Stay In School" or something similar sounding, directed at black ghetto youth. He was villified at the time by the RATS and their plantation Negroes for deserting the cause. One way or another, the campaign, like all those since and before then, had little if any effect.
