James Brown though. Seriously. One of the greatest performers of the 20th century.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler
Awards:
Thank god for that. Watching him perform at Glastonbury was one of the most painful experiences I think I've witnessed.
Sure, he gave a lot to music, but I mean seriously. There comes a time in every man's life when he should be handed a chair, and told, Marion Cunningham-stylee, to sit on it.

Teh colors of SB.
Legend, and that he made it to 73 was an achievement in itself. The fact that he still even moved one stage instead of sitting down Brian Wilson stylee was incredible. Yeah maybe he should've stopped earlier but when you've got that many nicknames and have been as influential as him then don't watch him live if you don't like it.

Awards: Rocky IV. That is all.
That sucks and all but I was more sad about the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' guy dieing.

Get the fuck off my board you bitch.
Ah yes, Brown's work in the fields of civil rights, music and robbery are simply overshadowed by the guy from Everybody Loves Raymond. He was easily my favourite background character in Taxi Driver too....
