Bye Godfather!


So the Godfather of soul is gone; damn this one hurts too. He dropped so much good sh**, that I can't even begin to name them. More importantly, he helped change the way us black folks view ourselves. "Say it loud I am black and I am proud..." Did I have some issues with him? Sure I did. Like the whole corny "Living In America" thing he did for that "Rocky" movie. And some of the personal issues that he had was way too public. But hey, who among us is perfect? And if anyone deserves a pass for some of the sh** he did, it was JB.

So go on with your bad self James, you left us with lots and lots of great memories, and all of us will be moving our feet to your sh** for years to come.
Folks, I am blogging from the road, so this post, as you can see, was very brief. But I had to comment on the passing of JB.
I can't wait to get back to Philly to start really posting again. There is so much sh** that I want to talk about and share with you. Anyway, just three days and counting, and I will be home sweet home.
Peace.

I love how they damn the man in the same sentence as they announced his death. The words 'scandal' and 'controversy' and a full accounting of the shit he stepped in was often included in the sentence announcing his death.

Yeah, the brother fucked up a few times, but in death, particularly on the day of his passing, why they gotta praise him with big damns?

It was interesting to see how they played Gerald Ford's passing. Oh, he 'pardoned' Tricky Dick, a known criminal, a sucka who presided over the murderous expansion of Co-Intelpro which targeted with murder numerous black freedom fighters. A murderous assault on Vietnam, spying on dissidents, etc.

Let him off without even a handslap. No justice served in his case nor for his victims. Talk about a preemptive strike!

But Ford ain't gonna catch no hell over that. Not that its a surprise

RIP JB. He will be sorely missed. Yet another legend returns to the ancestors. Who's going to step up and fill those shoes?
