I know, I already gave James Brown's Afro its due a few months back. But as someone who remains utterly fascinated by the many facets of the Godfather, both brilliant and reprehensible, I thought I'd use this Friday 'Fro to not only show another fine shot of Soul Brother No. 1 in his short-lived Afro-wearing period, but also to call your attention to this rather troubling article about the fight over Mr. Brown's estate, which also reveals some interesting details about his, shall we say, sexual peccadilos. "He liked you all greased up [with Vaseline]," remembers one girlfriend. "Like a pork chop." Mmm-mmm good.
Still, I will say that, while I will never sell as many records or influence as many people as James Brown, I'm somehow comforted by the fact that I learned what "doggy style" was decades before he did...
I love that he learned doggy style from the Playboy Channel...

Distressing. Just distressing.

Wow. He treated women like the White Sox treated the Tigers last week! ;-)

You got that right, Frank. Though at least James used lubrication.
