A Sad Yet Joyous Day

Merry Consumer-mas to all!!! I hope Santa squeezed his fat ass down everyone's chimneys and brought them all the goodies they hoped for. As for me, yeah, the fat bastard was here. He even dropped off some biscuits for the doggies. How does he do it?

A sad note on this joyous day....the godfather of soul, James Brown, my icon, is dead. He had a bout of pneumonia that he was not able to beat. A very very sad day in the West Five Two homestead. Peace be with you JB, you will always be an inspiration to me.

Yep, we lost a great soul singer. I remember that day.

Shortly after-wards, listening to some James Brown, I explained to my dad who James Brown was and how he passed away recently.

My dad understood. He himself being a lover of old-school corridos and understanding their significance, knew what it was like to lose an old-school soul singer.
