Heaven Just Got a Little Funkier


James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73.

Copsidas said the cause of death was uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said. "Boogie Woogie Flu has been ruled out; Rocking Pneumonia is still a possibility."

I hope that his family has the guts to bury him in full "Mr. Dynamite" regalia, with his hair properly pressed. I'm sure he would've wanted to go out that way.
